‘Tis the Toy Fair Season and we recently saw the conclusion of Hong Kong Toys And Games Fair where Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee and Shadow Spark Optimus Prime was revealed for the first time. UK Toy Fair is to take place near the end of January as well.
Next in line is Spielwarenmesse: Nuremberg Toy Fair 2017 which is mostly known as German Toy Fair by many. Taking place this February 1st for the 68th time, the fair is held at Messezentrum, Germany.
We have received word that several exhibitors will participate with Transformers Toys and Merchandise. However, as always, the fair is infamous among the toy community for keeping reveals under wrap until officially revealed to the public during New York Toy Fair taking place this February 18th.
The Transformers product exhibitors list is as follows:
- Hasbro
- Hauck
- The Cookie Company
- INVENTO GmbH
- MUNECAS SAICA
- Stor
- Undercover GmbH
- HTI
- Cartamundi
Find out more on what each exhibitor is bringing to the show floor (there’s quite a lot), after the jump. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for the best Transformers Toy Fair Coverage.

I wonder what was at this fair…didn't go and the popularity has disappeared…
ShadowOfSilver
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?
Windsweeper II
Lets hope so.
I want a Takara Liokaiser dammit!
Darkstone
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.
ShadowOfSilver
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?
samisham
ShadowOfSilver
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.
WishfulThinking
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.
Darkstone
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.
timcrook
1.5, the point five is for the wings.
