    - Hasbro Asia (we sometimes get a few here),
    - TakaraTomy toys (we don't get these here - HK versions come here).

    BOOKMARK THIS TOPIC!
    Or an individual post if you are only collecting a certain line.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Items will be added to the checklist when they are officially revealed by Hasbro, or the official pics of the toys or in-package images are revealed to verify its existence.
    Major Updates should occur after...
    - NY Toyfair (February)
    - Australian Toyfair (March)
    - BotCon (April this year)
    - SDCC (July)
    - NYCC (October)

    Posting of corrections or additions of confirmed information is welcome.

    (Any release dates listed in brackets) are when items are noted by an official source for them to be widely available in America. They should only be used as a rough guide for Australia. All future dates and details can, and do, change at any time. The current release status will be updated as often as possible.

    US prices are full retail before tax (mostly about 8%)
    AU prices are full retail after tax (tax here is 10%)

    Key:
    US SPRING = sometime during February to May
    US FALL = sometime during September to December
    -
    HERE = Month it was found at a major chain in Australia.
    OUT = Month it was found in US or other country.
    NOT HERE = Released in other countries, but not expected here.

    -----------------------------------

    FEB 2016 - Titan Wars

    Unknown original posting - mirrored posting here.

    Headmaster Star Convoy / Laser Prime from G2.

    Headmaster Megatron is obviously Blitzwing, but with a Megatron head. You can see his tank turret on his back, and jet fins on his ankles. He comes with two guns which merge to form his big cannon that can plug into his arm. Megatron's head looks very G1 in head mode. In "Nebulon" mode it has a red torso, and grey limbs.

    Chromedome's getting repainted as Getaway. Head looks G1.

    Triggerhappy is a headmaster who looks very G1.

    Hot Rod is a headmaster who looks G1 in vehicle mode. Robot mode looks vaguely IDW to me. Small waste. Long thinghs. Big hexagonal kneepads with vents in them.

    Alpha Trion's a triple changer. Beast Mode is a wolf with a unicorn horn (I have no idea why). Jet mode looks very Vector Prime.

    Weirdwolf looks good. Very G1.

    Powermaster Prime is getting a Diaclone repaint, so it's a blue COE truck. They seem to be calling it Magnus Prime or something along those lines (I can't remember for sure).

    Tidal Wave seems to be coming back (investor art, photoshopped, rough). Looks like it'll share a mold with Broadside. Vehicle mode seems to be USS Flagg homage. Part of "strength series". Tidal Wave's head is called Powerhouse. Grey body. Green limbs.

    Decepticon Clones. Looked to me like they have a Predaking. And the D-clones were Predaking parts. Same with Horri-Bull.

    Sharkticon looks very round and G1.

    Technobots look like you'd expect. But Afterburner is weird. Instead of making him G1, or just an orange Takara Groove, he's got this really long warped/bent windshield. It looks awkward to me. But that was my only complaint from everything I saw.

    SDCC Fort Max comes with red sword. Has blue hands, instead of white.
