Gates are now open at Nuremberg, Germany for the biggest European Toy Fair of this year. A new record: 2,871 exhibitors will be presenting some 75,000 toylines at the 68th edition of Nuremberg Toy Fair.
Hasbro, one of the biggest exhibitors on the fairground will be unveiling their 2017 lineup for the first time; a tradition which they usually reserved for the London Toy Fair. The lineup features Transformers: The Last Knight, Transformers Generations line for 2017 and the same for Transformers: Robots In Disguise.
Other than official images and information sent to us, we do not expect lots and lots of photos or details since Nuremberg Toy Fair is for selected audience only. The audience include Wholesalers, Retailers and prospective License Holders. Most of the time, non-disclosure and non-photography agreements are involved and Hasbro is no exception.
Transformers toy manufacturer will also take participation in a 20-minute presentation for license holders. Markus Pfitzner of Hasbro Deutschland will speak on how licensing themes can push a business forward.
Other than toys from Hasbro, Transformers related merchandise will be on display and you can take a look at the list on our previous news post… in case you missed it.
Nuremberg Toy Fair will take place from February 1st to February 6th 2017.

I wonder what was at this fair…didn't go and the popularity has disappeared…

And just when I thought all hope was lost. lol… still, I won't hold out for it if MechIdeas releases theirs soon.
Also, does anyone know if 3rd Parties unveil stuff too during the Toy Fair or is that an official-line only event?

Lets hope so.
I want a Takara Liokaiser dammit!

Yes, the comic ended with Baldigus, but that comic was only handling the EX releases which were TT Mall exclusives. And it didn't even include all EX releases, they only started the comic with the pre-orders of Grand Galvatron. The retail releases never had any comics covering their release so it's not stopping them from doing a Liokaiser at retail.
Also, since when does a comic being over mean that they can't do more toys? They can just start over by drawing a new story if they want to.

Oops, I'm sorry if I posted a spoiler!!! I didn't know how to post those.
samisham
No that was part one.
ShadowOfSilver
Thanks :') How did the comic end? Isn't it a cliffhanger with Baldigus looking in shock at Scourge?

Now I remember, that's what someone had said on that thread. Sad face…
samisham
Well the Unite Warriors comic ends with Baldigus so it's probably over.

Makes me think the PotP winner has already been shown, then. I'm sure there are other reasons for the absolute secrecy…but this really does make me inch towards my tin foil hat on the PotP vote…
Scorpio
Thank you both :3

At NY Toy Fair, which is on the 18th-21st of this month.

New York Toy Fair, February 18-21, that's where they will reveal everything the movie line has to offer plus hopefully some Titans Return stuff.
Scorpio
This seems like the thread to ask, wondering when/where the movie toyline will be shown… or at least when we'll see them?
ShadowOfSilver
While I can totally see where you're coming from, I'm afraid TT likes to stick straight to the G1 toon so the odds of divebomb being more than an arm is fairly low.
Windsweeper II
I know its an unpopular idea, but i dont like Razorclaw being so much bigger than his teammates.
He has never been so in any fictional appearance nor in the G1 toyline.
The way to make him equal in size and prevent Divebomb partsforming could be to turn the two of them into a double deluxe torso and introduce a new member to form the left arm.
ShadowOfSilver
Ah, I've always thought of that as more of a backpack than anything. Heck, even MMC's has the option to use just the wings or strap the whole bot to the back. Lol.

1.5, the point five is for the wings.
