Directly from the floor at San Diego Comic Con 2017, site owner Seibertron is providing us images of the display area at the Hasbro booth. For this first night, Hasbro chose not to reveal anything new from the Titans return line. Instead they showed several toys from the waves already released this year. Even Overlord wasn't on display and neither was Slugslinger, the only toy from Titans Return wave 6 we know of for sure. At least this gives us one more day to speculate as to what his wavemates might be. They did also include the reissue of Masterpiece Optimus Prime which is identical to the previous Hasbro release. You can discuss more about that $165 figure here.
We have images of the display below and you can reach the full gallery of said display by clicking any image.

These are only the initial images, of course, expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues with actual reveals across the weekend, with the Hasbro Breakfast Press event Thursday morning, panel coverage on Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

That case explains why I saw so many of the same ones at the store the other day. That and I think Fred Meyer is downsizing their toy section. (Or the one near me is.)

Freddy's was the place to go for toys about 3 years ago but now its like 40 or so titan masters and a bunch of the small TLK guys. Man. I remember when I was into beyblade they had pretty much everything you'd want. What a bummer.

It maybe to drag you into a big fat low so that you'll be more grateful for something brand new on the following nights even if it sorta sucks?

And more images from the Hasbro Breakfast Press Event at San Diego Comic Con 2017, this time coming from the Transformers: Titans Return line, and featuring a single pack: Deluxe Slugslinger with Titan Master Caliburst! Check the duo out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

There will be more images throughout the weekend, so expect the full Seibertron.com treatment as the event continues, with panel coverage on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and follow-ups with official images and more!

For sure, yesterday theyn showed us everything that is out, and we knew was coming except Slugslinger. This morning we get...Slugslinger...well the good news is I guess they cant show us anything else that we haven't seen already unless they start going backwards...

*correction*...I guess next they could show us the Walgreens exclusive Duocon set...

Hmmm... Another remold of Triggerhappy... Meh. I'm not very impressed with this one tbh. Especially since he has 2 cockpits, yet the headmaster sits inbetween them :S
I can live with the Misfire remold, even though both have new wings and a new nose part, yet this one looks a bit bland to me...

Posted by bodrock on July 20th, 2017 @ 11:49am CDT

I like Misfire, but yeah, Slugslinger is a bit bland.....maybe if he had a different TM, like Thunderwing, he'd look a bit cooler....

Well...look at Voy Optimus

then it got a repaint(as the mold was intended for) as Octone

then as Laser Prime

& finally as Black Convoy(Nemesis Prime)

so i can easily see Broadsides mold being reused beyond what we're already getting with it

btw i don't understand Willie J's comment that it's not a repaint....but just Takara!(Broadside) coz you can clearly see the diff colours between the two

+ with TT it's a common practice when it comes to repaints

Duocon? Do you mean the Walgreens Exclusive "Clones" set of Wingspan and Cloudraker? Duocons were Fjywheels and Battletrap and a Battletrap repaint of Generations Springer was an Exclusive at one of the last Botcons (I think).

The idea when the term repaint is used is as a different character, or different theme on a character. No one typically considers the TT version of toy X to be a repaint. If you would like to, that is your prerogative.

Yeah. Takara and hasbro are seperate corporate entities and should be viewed as such. calling a Takara version a repaint only because one came out first is bonkers. That means the entire hasbro Cybertron line is made of repaints. I personally think its safer if we dont go down this ludicrous rabbit hole.
Stuartmaximus, I know you sometimes wonder why people ignore you or dont talk to you, and insisting on things that people categorically rule out might be one of the reasons why. I still respect your opinion but I dont have anything to say about it since I feel its just wrong with every way i see things.

People have the right to think the earth is flat and we all have the right to ignore them. its everybody's choice.

I cant fucken believe it. Hasbro wont be revealing TR wave 6 at SDCC (doenst seem like it since they skipped over it in the panel). I guess it will be like TR Wave 4 where we had to wait for them to be in stores internationally before they were "revealed" at Toy Fair.

Sucks hard.
