Looks like the Taiwan fan group is definitely pretty close to Hasbro in Taiwan, as this preview event looks similar to what we did in March with our Hasbro... and something I expect Hasbro are looking to do globally now between the gaps of the major American reveals (SDCC, NYCC, NY Toyfair and BotCon), in various non-US countries.
TFND even had a banner done up just for the even, with their logo and Hasbro's logo on it, to make it look even more official.
(hmmm... maybe something for us to do next time)

I also like how they brought in some of the Gen1 toys for comparisons, which I would have done at our fan event if I knew what we were showing off. Again, something for next time.

I see that they were also showing off one of this year's SDCC sets again (the 3pack of Windblade, Brainstorm and Sentinel Prime), so it must be getting a wider global release like Devastator did last year... making the SDCC toys only an exclusive within America now, instead of globally.

More of the images have been mirrored here at TFW (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/05/28/hasbro-taiwan-transformers-titans-return-toy-experience-event-316165) and here at Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-transformers-titans-return-deluxes-titan-masters-fortress-maximus-voyagers-and-more/35464/) in case anyone doesn't want to go looking up all of the facebook links.


(created a new topic for this news, as the Titans Return line is almost upon us, so thought it could do with some extra exposure and hype from the separate attention)

I think this fan-City-Mode looks damn good.

Would love to see a shot of Metroplex and Fort Max in city modes together.

Would love to see a shot of Metroplex and Fort Max in city modes together.I am really tempted to pick up Powermaster Prime and Blaster and do a whole city setup.... (Currently have no interest in Prime atm...)

I think they must have had another preview event, or they weren't allowed to release these images until now (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/06/18/titans-return-deluxe-chromedome-highbrow-hand-images-317298). This set of images features the four Gen1 Autobot Headmasters, as Titans Return Deluxes, with comparisons to the original 1987 toys.

And it looks like another Hasbro Asia exclusive sticker sheet was given out as well, for the first wave of Deluxe, Voyager and Leader Titans Return toys (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/06/18/titans-return-official-sticker-sheet-317294).
