It is Hasbro's first showing at this event and it looks like they are not appearing empty handed. Our friends at TFW2005 have posted some comprehensive galleries of Hasbro's previews to date. Keep in mind that this is only the first day of the Convention, and there will be much more news and reveals as the week goes on, culminating in the Hasbro Transformers Brand Panel on Saturday at 12:15pm-1:15pm and the Transformers Prime Panel on Sunday at 11:00am-12:00pm, Eastern Time of course.
Hasbro started the event BEFORE the convention even began, with a preview night. Here was shown many new Cyberverse figures for the upcoming Transformers Prime line, along with a smattering of (already seen) DOTM figures to round out the showcase. These figures are by far the most detailed and advanced that the Cyberverse line has seen, including weapons. What stole the show though was the first of (many, I'm sure) the Cyberverse Prime Playsets: Wheeljack's ship! If this is only the preview, imagine what we'll see as the week goes on! TFW's full gallery can be seen here.
Next up is further, more in-depth images of the NYCC two-pack of Taxi-Cab Bumblebee and G1-Colours Arcee! Stay tuned for Seibertron's own Hi-Def galleries of these figures, but for the mean time you can see the rest of the gallery here.
Finally, we can show you some images of the Transformers cross-merchandise that Hasbro has brought in the form of a Nerf Barricade pistol decorated with G1 Bumblebee's image and Autobot insignia and Cuponk; a version of the classics Cup and Ball game. The full galleries can be seen here.
Seibertron.com will keep bringing you the news at it appears from NYCC!
and it looks like the commander figures have lights in them??? I'm loving the weapons though
