Last summer Takara Tomy showed off Devastator and the first colored Ironhide (as well as production Tracks and Road Rage) at Wonder Festival 2015 Summer.
Next weekend (February 7th) is Wonder Festival 2016 Winter, so I'm expecting a painted Optimus Primal, and maybe painted Bruticus and *maybe* we'll even see what's next for UW….

Damn the summer is too far

Takara usually announces stuff through hobby magazines (like Figure King) or at the Tokyo Toy Show, which happens in the summer. This past show was where MP Ironhide, UW Devastator, and the concept for MP Primal were revealed.

The Tokyo Toy Show. That same place where Masterpiece Ironhide, Optimus Primal, and Unite Warriors Devastator were shown off and fully announced.
ZEGR
Where does TT announce their shit?

I popped in here hoping to get something not expecting to get something
YoungPrime
You sound more annoyed than we do. Are you an employee there?
Okay, so why did you peek in here then?
scrapmetaru
Why are you all acting so disappointed? We're not supposed to get a damn thing from Nuremburg. Why do you think Devastator was behind a dude last year?
Lachoneus
In addition to Devastator, last year the CW Protectobots and a few of the Platinum G1 reissue sets were first seen here as well, if I recall correctly. So it wasn't unreasonable to expect something big to slip out…it just looks like nothing has so far.
MnemonicSyntax
Because sometimes, things get leaked. Like Devastator did last year.
SG Roadbuster
were the leaks from earlier this week from nuremburg? or did they just happen this week?
so I have a question for the tfw staff: if we know there arent any going to be any public reveals at nuremburg toy fair, why even bother reporting it?
Grimlockimus
As mentioned before we actually did get a lot of new info. A least a hell of a lot more than last year where all we really got was an obstructed picture of Devastator and a rumor that Computron might be happening. This year we found out about four new figures and actually got some halfway decent pictures of them.
Besides we have the main toy fair coming up, the one where we get most of our reveals from anyway.
Lazerwave
Well this convention was a bit of a let down.
ultramagnus1
Wasnt expecting much from this. The NYTF is wherer its at and is my fav convention of the year. Last year we got a surprise with Ultra Magnus and Minimus (at least it was for me) I wonder will the fair reveal anything new
XXLMagnus
My knickers are definitely twisted goddamnit! Worst. Reveal. Evaar!!

*this*
Getting mad at Nuremburg Toy Fair because it didn't reveal a bunch of stuff is not knowing what Nuremburg Toy Fair is for.

It's not really "hype". It's only hype because the fandom make it so! These are fairs for people in the toy industry. They're put on to show potential wholesalers/retailers what's going to be available for them to buy to stock their warehouses/shops. It's not SDCC! It's not pandering to the fans!
If stuff gets leaked then that's just a little titbit to whet the fan's appetites, but it's not what these fairs are about. Sooner fans realise that the sooner you'll all stop getting your knickers in a twist!
Afterburner
This has always been much ado about nothing. It's just hype.
YoungPrime
I'll know next year not to concern myself with this toy fair. Huge waste of time.
