Small correction. The motif is for packaging. However, I did hear about figures themselves will be featured as Cybertronian. Can't confirm until I see the actual toys. That's why I said to take the new info with a grain of salt.  

 

The thing is Hasbro knows what fans love. They know that a lot of you like Onslaught, they know that a lot of you like a proper Cogman etc. This is the 5th time. They know better than not to ignore. They even stated that they know that Generation fans dislike movie figures clogging up the shelves. Hopefully we will see an expanded line. Some few more waves. Based on the slide on Toy Fair Investor Day, Hasbro has only allocated just one quarter to push TLK figures. They have quite a lot of franchises on their plate right now. Things got even more hectic since they recently received the Disney Princess license. It's a huge brand. And a lot of demand from Disney to keep up the quality or the business agreement goes down the shredder. Bigger than Transformers. So I guess that one quarter push is justified. I'm open to the fact that Hasbro is keeping surprises hidden. How many? That I don't know.

 

Since the Weibo user is revealing images he/she already got piece-by-piece, are we to see the Robots Mode of One-Step Cogman today?

 

Same situation in my country since Hasbro UK handles the business in Sri Lanka. We get what you guys get. It usually takes many months just to see Wave 2. We may not see anything beyond that. Last time for AOE for some unknown reason Wave 2 and 2.5 were skipped entirely. I'm at least thankful that Wave 3 came.

Distribution is a serious issue. I don't see it improved this time. We never saw Titans Return. When I asked, the store manager said they don't like Transformers toys when there isn't a movie around. Gimmick lines clog the shelves and retailers don't order anymore. When I asked they do not know the difference between a gimmick line and a main line figure. Such retailers are part of the problem too. They don't know what their consumers like or dislike. Ultimately it hurts the brand.

Anyway, I'm going WAY off track here. Where were we? Yes, new TLK figures. We are less than a moth away from the Official Street Date. From next weekend onwards, printed media will carry advertisements. TV commercials may pop up too. Keep an eye out for these, everyone. Not sure how these Mission To Cybertron figures will be advertised because I believe they coincide with the main line.

 

Not yet. I know they are done though. US based one, I mean. Takara commercials are totally different.
