Cybertron Con 2024 will be happening December 6th to December 9th at the World Expo Creative Show Club building in Shangai. This is where we are expected to get quite a few Transformers reveals. Apparently, there will be exclusives too, though everything is very vague right now. The hint at exclusives are all due to images popping up of new exclusive packaging for SS 86 Commander Optimus Prime, Masterpiece Brawl and Legacy Magmatron. It is unknown how much the figures themselves are different from the previous releases and if they will be available just at the show or not. With Optimus, for instance, we do see different chest windows that are cell shaded, but it's also a set of stickers. So everything is unclear. We'll keep you updated when we get more news on either of these releases.

The images you see below come from Twitter and Weibo.

Ok, so there is A LOT to get through. Hasbro is making China's Cybertron Con the place to be for reveals and exclusives. Here is what we have to share with you so far:

- The exclusive SS Commander Class Optimus Prime turns out to be the regular release in a new box with an exclusive sticker sheet that lets you make him as show accurate or toy accurate as you want, with 4 different pair of chest windows. The images come from TFND.

- We have images from Baidu of the grey prototypes for the upcoming Threezero DLX Transformers 2007 Ironhide & Jazz figures.

- More images of the Exclusive MPM Brawl box, though from what is said on Baidu the only thing exclusive is the box, the figure inside is the same we got already.

Sonic & Tails crossover! Via Grant White and TFW2005.

I presume this would be the Sonic/Transformers crossover we heard of from JTPrime in October, when "Project Tails" turned out to be Naruto?

EDIT: Official reveal tomorrow, via the TF Instagram account.

WOW, that is the weirdest looking crossover I've ever seen. I thought we'd be getting something along the lines of Disney Label, but we're getting ... this.

Maybe they'll look alright next to Party Wallop who also has an animalistic head? So weird, though. I'm down. I love me some weird TFs.

Weird that Sonic is almost, but not quite like his Sonic Racing car while Tails looks totally correct. Licensing limitations, maybe?

RotF Nightbeat and RotF Divebomb, is that you?

Sonic and Tails look pretty cool. That ring shield though.

Sonic looks like a clear heavy retool of kingdom wheeljack, or at least shared engineering. tails has some parts that look/feel familiar, but cant place them. even as kibble-tastic as tails is though, im kinda digging these.

TFW2005 have posted a full gallery of official photography and release details for all the Cybertron Con reveals and upcoming products. This covers the AOTP reveals, Leader Megatronus, TF x Sonic collab, and Mixmashers offerings.

According to the release notes, many/most of these are expected to go up for pre-order next Tuesday, December 10th.

(As a side note, their post gives the price of Titan Star Optimus as $89.99, the same price point as Commander Silverbolt, but I'm assuming this has to be an error.)
