Headmasters Evolve In Titans Return...

Hasbro started out their press event nearby New York Toy Fair 2016 this past weekend with a presentation on Transformers. They started with a brief look at the Titan Class Trypticon, winner of the fan vote, which is in development at this time. From what we saw it’s going to be HUGE and jam-packed with fun features updating the classic toy like they’ve done with Metroplex, etc. We also got to see a new trailer for Robots in Disguiseseason two and a few new toys. In the Warriors Class will be a new Windblade and Scorponok, and Power Surge Optimus Prime will come with the Acrobolt Minicon that activates all sorts of special features like pop up armor and weapons. There will be an Entertainment Earth exclusive Platinum Edition Warrior Bumblebee, and the first RID character joining the Generations lineup in the Voyager scale will be Grimlock.

More Force Awakens, Rebels, Original Trilogy & Expanded Universe...

While The Force Awakens hit theaters last year Star Wars is still in everyone’s mind and of course collectors and kids are always rabid for more toys. At Hasbro’s press event in New York we got to see a variety of products that will be arriving on shelves in the coming months, though we should warn you now that there was NOTHING shown from Rogue One. We all have to wait a few months to start seeing stuff from that movie, but Hasbro did reveal that the San Diego Comic-Con Black Series exclusive this year will be something from Rogue One, so that’s cool. Alright, let’s talk about what they did reveal! For the kiddies there’s more Galactic Heroes on the way focusing on the Force Awakens and the film’s main characters. Two-packs will bring Poe Dameron and BB-8, Han Solo and the Crimson Corsair, and Captain Phasma and Rey, while Admiral Ackbar will come with a resistance base set. There will be vehicle releases from the Rebels show featuring the hero vessels Ghost and Phantom with the crew and plenty of action features.

"Transformers Roll Out"...

Transformers Roll Out heralds the global pop-culture Transformers phenomenon, featuring a collection of hit original songs inspired by the Hasbro Transformers franchise from leading established and up-and-coming alternative, rock and alt-pop artists, morphing together to create an epic portfolio of hard-hitting tunes that truly embodies the soul of the Hasbro Transformers brand. The album will include tracks from chart topping rock band ‘Bush’ and front man Gavin Rossdale, lending powerhouse vocals in “This House is on Fire” and will also feature up-and-coming alt-rock group Mount Holly on the album’s lead title track “Roll Out.”

eBay seller viperskingdom has once again opened some new listings of some new and upcoming The Force Awakens figures by Hasbro. One of the new tidbits of information now previously known is that the upcoming Admiral Ackbar figure will include a hinged jaw, giving him a 6 points of articulation, instead of the average of 5.

More reveals are expected at next months ToyFair, so stay tuned!

Hasbro provided a previous of their upcoming Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave planned for a 2016 release.
