There's so many pics from Hasbro's display area on Friday that we don't have time to group them into proper categories. (Sounds like something Ultra Magnus would say, huh?) There're over 500 photos of Transformers bliss covering everything from a couple of new TFA items to new FABs to ROTF Voyagers, Deluxes and a whole slew of other incredible figures. To view the full gallery, click here. Here're some highlights by class size or series ...

Devastator Combiner Set

ROTF Fast Action Battlers

Image

Transformers Animated

Image

ROTF Legends Class figures

Image

Walmart and Target Exclusives

Image

ROTF Voyager Class

Image

ROTF Deluxe Class

Image

There's also a whole lot more, but you'll have to look through the main Hasbro Display Area gallery for the rest of the pics.

Sideswipe's Repaint Swerve is looking great. Even though I loathe the feet on the mold the color alone will make me buy it.

Jolt looks fairly interesting though the Robot mode looks somewhat mistrasnformed.

Deadend looks really cool in Black and arterial red.
But I'll wait to see him in person before I decide.

After seeing Chromia and Arcee properly transformed, they've kind of grown on me. I'm interested to see the third bike and the combined mode.

No problem! I'm glad that all of you enjoy my photographs. It sure is a lot of work ... I'm exhausted and have a long day ahead of me.

Coming up at 1pm Pacific is the Hasbro panel. I'll be taking notes on my laptop for all of you and will post the news as soon as I can.

Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
Observations from your gallery:

1 ) Even as a Legends class, Sideswipe looks effin' awesome, probably one of the best looking designs of the movie series to date.

2 ) Blazemaster Rawks! I have a soft spot for realistic helicopters that have a decent robot mode.

3 ) Depth Charge looks better than I expected from the original preview pics

4 ) I can do without Scalpel, but Ejector has become a MUST-HAVE.

5 ) And Devastator looks larger than I had expected... after some of the previous photos, I was expecting him to be about Primus-Sized, but half again wider. Now he looks about a third again larger than that.

It's been said constantly that he's going to be 2 feet tall.

No, it's been confirmed as Hardhead - repaint, no new head mold

No, ROTF Lockdown is a new mold.
