According to the blurb, and the title, we'll be treated with a look at Bumblebee Movie, Studio Series and War for Cybertron: Siege toys - allegedly new reveals too, though this seems to have been too quiet to finally see the Decepticons on display - but it'll be definitely worth tuning in for our coverage to find out what's what on Thursday 4th October! Find out more below.

The Panel will be at 11:45 EST and you can access it on the SYFY website where it is confirmed to have a live stream. The live stream itself is here.
Here is looking forward to the Decepticons marching in and further hints at Omega Supreme!

***The story will be updated as the panel progresses, so keep refreshing the page to find out more!***
Bumblebee is the first set of products to show up, with Ben Montano and John Warden showing off the entire range of toys we had seen in the previous coverage of the line, with our unboxing video and gallery here. In addition, some plugging is made for the Movie Masterpiece MPM-7 Bumblebee toy too.
Next are the G1 toy reissues, which are - as a reminder - pretty much the result of the new Bumblebee movie being set in the 1980s.
Then we move to War for Cybertron, with Shockwave taking a lot of the spotlight, and a cool pose replicating the famous Marvel UK comic cover 'Are All Dead'. He is a leader class, as we knew, which means that he has additional 'armour' parts that can be added to form a large, powered up version of himself (as seen in the renders here).
As an addition to the whole thing, John Hasbro Warden has chosen to not bring a leg, or a wing this time round, but rather a whole head -- in its tank alt mode, for TITAN CLASS OMEGA SUPREME.

Next, we have the Studio Series line bringing the newly revealed Drift with Baby Dinobots, we just covered in our story here.

If by 'this' you mean his head, Megatron already did.

I was wondering, and in case anyone else was wondering, I have Trypticon in the room with me. The left and right cannons (not the turret) looked an awful lot like a reuse of Trypticon's shoulder cannons. They are not! Looks like completely new molding to me.
(Also, love Shocky in front of the old Marvel comic....for some strange reason....)

Next up, we have a new video which highlights the new Cyberverse figures and the Bumblebee movie toys! The new Cyberverse guys bring to us new characters Ratchet, Prowl, Hot Rod, and more! There are bots of all sizes shown off here, with some interesting new gimmicks such as a propeller for Slipstream.
The Bumblebee movie stuff also joins the show, showing off Shatter in 2 different figures for her car and jet modes, a tank mode Blitzwing, and the new Masterpiece Bumblebee figure as well!
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think of all these new figures below!

Our final video for you tonight consists of the Hasbro Brand presentation that Seibertron and Megatronus got to attend, which included the Siege Shockwave in his Famous "Are All Dead?" pose complete with the comic book. Also included in the video is an awesome shot of the Omega Supreme tank that will form his head and upper chest, and includes Micromaster Countdown storing in that tank component!
Check out the video below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

At this point I don't care if it's the Ark or not. Just please let us have an Omega that can turn his whole body into the ship, not just his arms
You lost half the hype because he does something that all omega supreme's do, aka tank mode..... how does that even.... nvm...

how many of those became toys? Almost if not all omega supremes parts form , they have to, its part of the character design.... idk why you were expecting something non g1 in a line focusing on updated g1 looks.
