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!!!

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?

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.

Posted by Va'al on February 18th, 2017 @ 2:48pm CST
There are also two boxsets.
Chaos on Velocitron Collection Pack celebrates speed ability and includes Laser Optimus Prime, Nautica, Fastlane, Quickswitch and diecast Rodimus Prime Titan Master.
Prime includes G2 decal on trailer! This will be a Toys'r'Us exclusive.
The other set is the Siege on Cybertron Collection Pack which celebrates strength ability with Pounce, Metalhawk, Tidal Wave from Broadside, and Magnus Prime (a redeco of Takara Tomy's Super Ginrai), with Titan Master Thunderwing. It will be a BBTS exclusive.
And of course, you can see more images of the 20" tall Titan Class Trypticon which includes Full-Tilt and Titan Master Necro. Join the discussion in the Titans Return thread!

Oh hell yes! I thought I was done with movie bots... then toy Fair happened. I'll take a Hound, leader Megatron, Scorn, Steelbane, and the other dinobots. Why must the new decos be so cool?
Posted by Evil Eye on February 18th, 2017 @ 3:09pm CST
Voyager Scorn! Yes, that is also going to be mine. I might get the Deluxe too- one can never have too many Scorns.
Hound looks OK. Not amazing, but OK.
As for the TR stuff (so far)...
Nautica actually looks great, the mold suits her. I wish she was an original mold but she's still good.
Seaspray looks cool but I'm not sure I want him over that 2010 Voyager...

Yeah, we are getting a fair bit of repaints, but these new guys are completely killer! Like, I will buy that Hound, even though I said I would not get any figures I already had from the 4th movie unless they wowed me.
Hound and Scorn have wowed me. Double dip.
Now to wait on the pictures of the other new guys.
And Stu, uploading has been slow from the event, the pictures are coming! Hang in there!
Posted by Evil Eye on February 18th, 2017 @ 3:20pm CST
Overlord...I'm actually kinda disappointed by. The proportions just look slightly off. I guezss it's time to save up for Carnifex...
Metalhawk looks like a good toy (he is based on Triggerhappy after all) but jesus that colour scheme...it HURTS.

One thing that is annoying me is the overuse of stickers, especially over sculpted detail. Sure I can paint pretty well so I can just replace them with good ol' fashioned pigment, but still, Hasbro. Stop that.

Pounce looks very, VERY 80s. Not sure if I like it or not.
Fastlane looks alright. Quite generic but that's alright I guess.
Twintwist is great, no complaints there. Also, hey, no firebombs!
...Holy crap, does Windblade actually look good!?!?!
Quickswitch is very, very dull. It's a no from me.
Posted by Va'al on February 18th, 2017 @ 3:29pm CST
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on February 18th, 2017 @ 3:35pm CST
Windblade looks awesome. Dammit, well, I can have a Windblade shrine to go with my movie OP and BB shrines...
Greatshot actually looks better than Sixshot.
Twintwist and Topspin. Perfect, love them both.
The little Titan masters are awesome. THAT is how much PAINT is needed on all titan masters!
both of the 5 pack sets look awesome, not a single figure in either that I don't like. G2 Prime is awesome!
And yep, I am so glad I passed on PM Prime. This is a far better substitute.
Shame the boxsets are exclusives though. But I will hunt down both.
God, I'm going to need some bigger shelves...
Posted by Stuartmaximus on February 18th, 2017 @ 3:38pm CST

you can't really have Fastlane without Cloudraker...coz that's a bit like having Wingspan without Pounce
hmmmm

I take it that Tidal Wave will still come with the Arielbots? although they should paint one as Ramjet

For movie stuff, I really like Megatron and Sqweeks, I may pass on the rest though. It's a shame they didn't show any toys of Hot Rod or Onslaught, hopefully they'll be in the wave after the stuff revealed here?
