Hasbro Toy Fair event: pictures of upcoming toys (including Movie Spoilers)

I'll just leave this here...



Oh Hasbro...

That Power Battlers Scorn (from a kiddie gimmick line) is gonna get a few complaints from parents I think.
Each figure in that line has a "power" move, like striking or spinning..... so I can see fans giving Scorn some creative power moves.

Nightbeat & Gears interest me; even if both are retools of existing moulds (which I already have). Roadbuster also. Hoping we actually see some Generations coming to shelves here soon!

Okay, next Kreo Question... anyone wanna guess at what the different alt-modes are of the four new combiner teams?

Grimstone
- Mollox
- Ironeye
- Crackback
- Iquanox

Lazerbolt
- Freezeout
- Bullhorn
- Roadhound
- Floodgate

Obsidian
- Freefall
- Hemocron
- Bullwark
- Stronghorn

Volcanicon
- Farside
- Power Surge
- Liftoff
- Lugmutt

There are some weird beasts in with all those.
Grimstone is likely to be an Autobot, but it's hard to tell if any of the others are Autobots, as their combiner faces look kinda evil.

I haven't seen the waves mentioned anywhere for the AoE deluxes but judging from back of package shots on Seibertron it looks like following.

I am guessing first will be :-

Slug, Crosshairs, Scorn, and Bumblebee.

Then

Drift, Srafe, Slash, and prob extra Bumblebee to fill

I'm still salivating over those Generations figures.

Quite disappointed in the AoE figures this year, only a handful that look mildly appealing. I expected a lot more of Leader Grimlock but it really doesn't do anything for me.

I would say that my wallet is happier for it, however the other reveals have offset that. Now to build another shelf.......

Edit: Dammit, after selecting the figures I like from the show, including AoE and Generations, and based on previous retail prices for size classes, it looks like I'm up for $500 this year. And that's probably before June. Might have to get a second job...

Legends Acid Storm with Venin

Repainting Waspinator as Bugly is pretty great idea, and I'd now like to see the Deluxe Waspinator get released as Bugly too.

Good to see those names; I was trying to make them out from the lower res photos but couldn't. I did wonder if like Grimstone they'd be based off PCC but there weren't enough animals. I guess they are all Dino-related for AOE year. I think Lazerbolt could be an Autobot, it's the less Decepticon looking of the three. I'm tempting to create bios for these guys as I doubt they'll get them otherwise.

Looking at the official pictures I'm disappointed that Roadbuster, Jhiaxus and Jetfire clearly have stickers. Come on Hasbro, give us some Tampos.

[ChlorHex]

Dang! I'd already decided not to pursue the newer toys and now these pics!
Argh! This will kill me... I've got to stop collecting multiple toy lines!
Really like Jetfire and Roadbuster

Ooo... Bugly's pretender shell, now that would be a homage if intentional.
But why call it Venin - I wonder if they were aiming for Venom with the name, but couldn't due to legal reasons... but then if that was true, why not colour it green and orange, because it would have been great to go with Chopshop. (and Venom is at least a transformable bot - Bugly's shell isn't)
