Hasbro has updated their Facebook page with several slides from their Transformers Brand Team Presentation during Hascon 2017.
The slides feature the newly revealed Transformers: Generations – Power Of The Primes Dinobots (Voyager Grimlock, Deluxe Swoop, Deluxe Snarl, Deluxe Slug and Deluxe Sludge, Legends Slash), Leader Class Evolution Optimus Prime (with a better look at Orion Pax) and Prime Master Micronus with Decoy Armor Cloudburst.
You can check out all the images, after the jump.

Except with 86 movie characters, aside from Magnus. The cartoon designs came first there. One reason why I'd rather not see 86 movie characters homage the toys.

The platinum box sets were kind of weird. Trying to sell Hot Rod with Junkions when a mass retail version is on the shelves…or trying to sell the 1986 movie set with Blurr and Kup also hitting regular retail…and Springer isn't THAT hard to track down.

My suspicion is that certain CW ones, the early ones, didn't do as well as expected.
We know the lead time on the TR boxsets thanks to the Transmissions Podcast Titan Wars leaks/rumors and the rumours for them start around when Victorion came out.
The numbers on the CW boxes gets Hasbro to reduce production numbers on the first 2 TR boxes, kill the last 2, stuff the clones together, put Magnus (compare his function to Rodimus and Thunderwing on the San Diego Comic Con 2017 – Trypticon Cereal Box list) in with Arcee (who might be herself from one of the boxes), put Scorponok (see Magnus above) in who knows where and Hasbro back away from big boxsets…….

G2 Optimus Maximums and Sky Reign would be bad ass.

Did the Titan Returns boxsets not sell well? Like the G2CW seem to not sell well, also the likes of planet of Junk etc boxsets don't seem to do that we'll.
Shame cos the TR boxsets are ace, even though I kept like 2-3 figures and sold the rest.

Yes, No G2 Skyreign, G2 Optimus Maximus and G2 Defensor was rather the point I was making:
WishfulThinking
But there IS no G2 Sky Reign. There IS G2 versions of Superion, Menasor and BRUTICUS.
payres
No I meant the 3 I said. They don't have G2 Boxset versions. Liokaiser may use the same torso as Skyreign (as does Victorion with Defensor) but has different Limbs
WishfulThinking
G2 Sky Reign?
Do you mean Lio Kaiser?
Jacewiththeface
That Optimus is really cool too.
Jacewiththeface
I really want that Grimlock. He looks so close to the Original.
Jacewiththeface
If anyone is interested, I'm gonna sell it on EBay This or next month.
payres
G2 Defensor, G2 Optimus Maximus and G2 Sky Reign would disagree.
As we've seen this year, Hasbro have gone off boxsets in a big way 🙁
Jacewiththeface
That's True. I've got the CW G2 Bruticus box set and G2 Superion box set. I've also got a Computron box set but might sell it so I can get the DinoBots when they come out. Computron Box set is practically perfect condition. He still has the poster (which has no punctures from tacks) he still has the card, he also has the plastic mold and ever character still has their weapons.
I really want to sell it though.
MeGrimlockAwesom
probs. they've done it with all combiners (and the ones who haven't already came in a box set)
Jacewiththeface
Well, Soundwave has always been my favorite Transformer since he gave me his. I also have the Titans Return one now.
Jacewiththeface
Are they gonna make a G2 Box set?
MeGrimlockAwesom
actually no, on second thought i might wait for a G2 Volcanicus gift set to come out so i dont have to hunt down each one separately.
MeGrimlockAwesom
I wish i had parents like yours lol
Jacewiththeface
I love the design they gave them with the translucent plastic and gold. Really brings it back to the 80's.
My Dad passed down Transformers to me when I was 6, and I've been a fan ever since. He even game me a few of his G1 figures like, Optimus, Soundwave, Grimlock, Swoop, Slag, And Megatron. These are definitely the Dinobots I've been waiting for though. A hole is going to burn through my pocket lol
