According to the 2013 checklist of Hasbro US, Hasbro HK and TakaraTomy toys released during this year (or expected by the end of this year), there were (about) 492 Transformers toys this year!
That does NOT count anything released in multiple markets that didn't change the packaging (like the Kreo in Japan or the Platinum toys in HK), or anything that was a multi-pack that had the focus on the combined form (eg Kreo combiners or the kreons in a build set), or any roleplay items. (so if you count any of those individual combiners or character toys in a bulk set, the number for this year will be even higher)

The number is a little higher this year, despite not being a movie year, because of all the Kreo and Botshots being released in cheap, massive numbers.
Next year should be even more, with a movie line (and all the gimmick stuff), as well as the ongoing Kreo & Botshots.
