In the last week, there have been two major toy conventions in Japan (Wonderfest) and Hong Kong (ACGHK), and both featured big displays for Transformers toys, featuring TakaraTomy's Japanese Transformers toys (which get released through Asia from Hasbro in Hong Kong).
Some of these have already been posted or discussed in the existing news topics (included below), and the two events have given us a lot of new reveals and details for the next 6+ months from Japan.
Masterpiece...
MP Optimus Vers 3 (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=592467&postcount=106) (still no details yet)
MP Hound (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=25673) (no details yet)
MP20+ Wheeljack (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=25674) (cartoon version - no details yet)
MP42 Cordon & MP17+ Prowl (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/26/acghk-2018-animation-comic-game-hong-kong-day-1-368877)
Bumblebee Movie...
Display of some (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/bumblebee-the-movie-toys-on-display-at-wonderfest-with-new-legendary-optimus-prime-wf2018/41735/) upcoming Studio Series toys, MP Ironhide, the over-sized gimmick Power Charge Bumblebee toy, and a new Leader sized version of the Evasion Optimus to be called "Legendary Optimus Prime (https://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/more-images-of-bumblebee-movie-evasion-mode-optimus-prime-toy-show-it-to-be-a-new-mold/41723/)", for release in Japan some time between Sept-Dec for 6800yen.
Official images for the upcoming Studio Series toys (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/29/takara-tomy-studio-series-ss-16-bumblebee-ss-17-ksi-sentry-ss-18-starscream-official-images-369172) and the new Legendary Optimus Prime (http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/07/29/bumblebee-the-movie-new-optimus-prime-toy-official-images-369159).
The product numbers for the next lot of Studio Series toys in Japan, which are different to the SS numbers by Hasbro.
SS-13 - Shadow Raider
SS-14 - Ratchet redeco
SS-15 - Ironhide
SS-16 - Bumblebee (VW)
SS-17 - KSI Sentry
SS-18 - Starscream redeco
Encore...

The blue version could be similar to the upcoming Encore Unicron, in that it would be homaging a Lucky Draw edition.
