Over the weekend, Hasbro Hong Kong had hosted a public display of current and upcoming toys (https://www.allspark.com/2020/07/hasbro-hong-kong-to-hold-hasbro-fans-expo-july-29th-august-2nd/), including Transformers.
The event was held from Wednesday July 29th to Sunday August 2nd (https://www.harbourcity.com.hk/en/happening/hasbro-fans-expo-2020/), in the "Harbour City" shopping centre, which houses both the offices of Hasbro Hong Kong, but also the largest ToysRUs store over there as well.

Hasbro Hong Kong has posted up a 10 minute video of the display on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=320695875643744).

There is also a collection of photos here from a number of people who visited the exhibit (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/07/29/hasbro-fans-expo-2020-hong-kong-masterpiece-tigatron-king-poseidon-quintesson-pit-and-more-416009).

Pretty much everything that is expected for the rest of the year is on display, from Earthrise, Studio Series, Masterpiece, Netflix and Generations Selects.

Apparently at the event, or at the ToysRUs store in conjunction with this event, there was a limited amount of advance stock of some Generations toys that come out soon - Centurion Drone, Quintesson Pit, Ramjet/Dirge 2-pack and the Astro Squad. Some images of these toys in-hand (https://news.tfw2005.com/2020/08/02/trasformers-earthrise-seeker-elite-ramjet-dirge-quintesson-pit-astro-squad-patrol-and-selects-centurion-drone-in-hand-images-416303), which gives us a good look at the accessory pack.
It also shows us a picture of the instructions to Centurion Drone, revealing it to be WFC-E33... which makes it an Earthrise toy, but the logo only has it noted as a regular Trilogy toy, without the Earthrise word in the logo.
This just leaves us with Earthrise numbers 26, 28 and 32 that are still unknown.

They only gave 5 days notice for this, so it was probably fortunate that the virus had prevented international travel at the moment, as this would have been a good excuse to pop over there for a toy shopping trip... at least it would have been, before the recent changes in the laws over there.

If they are planning to do this as an annual thing, it would be a real tease for us having it so close, and yet so far away. And makes you wonder why they can't do that here in Australia... instead of just one or two items being revealed to a small group of fans.
