It's just the Titans Return Legends one. Those figures with the Megatron helmet and Dragonstorm were in a display cube next to the check-in desk where we received our badges.

No pics allowed yet. Hasbro is currently going through the various brand presentations.

So far we've gone through the Transformers brand presentation, and they're currently showing us the Marvel presentation. Star Wars and My Little Pony still to go!

Once they're done with their presentations, we'll head down to the showroom around 3pm where we can start taking pictures and video. Megatronus will send the Seibertron.com News Staff some teaser pics on his cell phone, while I start working on taking hundreds of photos of all of the products. Once Megatronus is done with the teaser pics, he'll start working on videos for the Seibertron.com YouTube channel.

Stay tuned for more!!!

Hold the phone.

Magnus Prime from Ginrai... but what happened to Iron Apex. And Metalhawk?? Awesome!

Die-cast Rodimus Prime titanmaster... I approve heavily of this.

Drift is in the RiD combiner somehow? Neat!

Really, only 2 deluxes, and it is Windblade?

I'm assuming there is more product on display downstairs. We'll find out in the next 30 to 60 minutes!

Can't remember the usual drill for Toy Fair, do hasbro typically send out packs of official images of the new reveals over the weekend too, or is that only for certain conventions?

Yes, they will be sending out their official 3d renders too, probably this evening.

Aw thanks man.

The official images happen *at some point* over the weekend. They're never a full given, but we're keeping an eye on the right places for them all the time.

Directly from the floor at New York Toy Fair 2017, site owner Seibertron is sending us images of the Hasbro display showroom as we prepare the galleries for the site. In this story, we have a look at the toys on show from the upcoming live-action movie Transformers: The Last Knight - as we caught a glimpse of some of them in the Investor Presentation and heard more about them in the Toy fair presentation. One thing we know now is that the Premier Edition is just a name to distinguish the more complex toys from the simpler and more gimick driven ones. It is not a premium line, as was believed, and all toys will bear this mark, not just the early releases. Meaning that the $30 voyager at Target will be for all voyagers (until they lower the price).

We'll be constantly updating this article so you can see images of:
Steelbane which turns into a Dragon
The Dinobots Slug, Slash, Strafe and Grimlock (all reused molds)
A BRAND NEW Voyager Class Scorn
A new Bumblebee, black and red Drift, Crosshairs, new Voyager AND Leader Megatron as jet, new Voyager Hound (vehicle mode is different than what we've seen, some type of Mercedes truck/vehicle) and Deluxe Sqweeks.

You will also see simpler toys, such as the Allspark Tech Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Drift, Hound, and Barricade. As well as Dragonstorm, who is the giant three headed dragon.

Check them all out below, and discuss them in our TLK toy thread!

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more New York Toy Fair news!
