Nice to see some of the new stuff, but I have to post a word of warning: Those MashEms are junk and have no longevity. People who have Power Ranger ones are finding that they've begun to rot and the liquid center has begun oozing out.

Correct! With the exception of the green guy, who we aren't sure on.

Mostly going by how the name "Crosshairs" seems to be the most ubiquitous Autobot name seen in previous AOE toy listings that isn't Optimus, Bumblebee, Drift, or a Dinobot.

Though, Lockdown looks like an albino version of Darkseid. Scary.

Hound is the green one.

Lets see some Generations or TF4 reveals. These toys are irrelevant and I wouldn't buy them for my children. That is all I need. Them having a slingshot with hard rubber projectiles.

BTW, anyone know when in the hell we are going to see Legends Swerve and cosmos at retail? Let alone Kickback and Tailgate? The former was due out in SEPT 2013 and the ladder this month? We have seen NOTHING. Not even a out of stock listing on HTS. The only thing we have seen is some listings on amazon that you cannot even find if you search for those names. You have to use the link that was proved via this site a month and a half ago.

I smell a cancellation brewing. Just like the RTS scouts....

that's definitely crosshairs



hound has a beard remember?



the green guy has what looks like goggles so he is probably a sniper character (the crosshairs of a scope)


plus Hound is dark green this head is the same green as the corvette.

its not being canceled i have seen people who already have swerve and cosmos.

you don't honestly believe that all countries are going to get them immediately?

No disrespect, but your statement is the equivalent of someone saying "I knew this guy once". Anyone got any hard evidence these are not getting the proverbial ax?

Currently "In Stock" at Kapow (where mine will be coming from once Whirl arrives).

Trek - Excellent work, my friend. That is what I like. Solid proof. And you have provided that. With that said, cool! Can't wait to see them here, hopefully very soon. And BTW, from what I understand the UK usually gets the shaft when it comes to releases in a timely manner. Looks like the Brits got something before we did for once. Good for them!

Kapow! are not UK retail though, just so we're clear.
We might still be getting the browner, smellier side of the stick.

This will be our last update from the 2014 UK Toy Fair. See below for some more toy news, as well as some cool pictures from around the show!

Some information from HTI: They will offer two track sets, subject to approval. One track set will be an Optimus Prime Challenge, consisting of a truck with a trailer and red track pieces with loop. The track will emerge from the front grill, and the goal will be to hit the target that has Bumblebee artwork. Set to include two diecase cars, Bumblebee and Lockdown, the grey Lamboghini (named as Lockdown on the package.)

In addition, a Grimlock track will be offered. It will contain a red track that ends at a Grimlock T-Rex. Cars will go up the dino's back for a jump, and Bumblebee car will be included.

From Sambro International, we have some first looks at upcoming games based upon Transformers: Age of Extinction.
Air Hockey game.



Close up of character design on air hockey table, including Grimlock, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee.


Gunship Escape customizable, handheld maze game. Package reflects 12 different mazes to try.



Sling Slider. Appears to be a game of shooting discs around the play space to get them into one central area.


Twin Pack of puzzles.



We will close out with some pictures that were taken around the Toy Fair. You'll see the Optimus Prime truck, photos of the massive display floor, and more.

Here's some in hand pics from an American fan (not me) who bought them from RobotKingdom before they sold out last December:

Man, I really hate movie years.

So depressing.

Ho hum....boring. I can't believe this is even a news piece

What a tease, Hasbro. Showcasing every trivial Transformers product without even a trace of the mainline figures. Why can't these toy shows be geared a little more towards fans and a little less towards clueless retailers?

Good point Wolfman. No disrespect to the news crew, of course. But, these reveals are irrelevant products not many (here at least) will care about. Thanks for posting the story though. At least we know what they offered.

Makes me feel better, but I will be definitely happy once we get someone to verify an at retail purchase here in the states. Thanks for the pics Sabrblade!

Because.. it's a toy fair?
It's not a convention, it's not open to everyone, and it's aimed at retailers, press, and the such. I thought this was common knowledge.

We also expected Hasbro to reveal little, as both Nuremberg and New York are soon, and that's where stuff actually happens.

It's good to see some color images of Bumblebee's new model. Is he oozing green smoke, or is that just me?

For the record, we also got a look at Lockdown and Crosshairs' robot mode faces, package artwork, confirmed that Lockdown is the Lamborghini Aventador, saw Drift's robot mode and that amazing mug.
