Thanks to the staff of
Transformers Dioramas website, we have a great set of pictures of Hasbro booth over at Abrin Toy Fair from Brazil! The event took place in São Paulo on 1-4 April and it celebrated the 30th anniversary of Transformers with a huge booth filled with figures and merchandise.
Hasbro's main focus was, of course, the Age of Extincion since we're only a month away from the official toy release. They showcased the first waves of the toyline, alongside some Transformers Prime merchandise. Not the mention the giant cardboard cutouts of Optimus Prime and Grimlock!
Check out some of the photos after the jump and visit
Transformers Dioramas website and
Facebook page for the rest.

Hasbro Transformers license holder Vilsco Textiles is providing a treasure trove in content from the upcoming Michael Bay movie; Transformers: Age Of Extinction.
Thanks to the site, fans are treated with Concept Art featuring not only Optimus Prime and Bumblebee but also Hound, Drift, Lockdown and Grimlock.
The content also sheds light on some key factors such as Hasbro's upcoming plans for the franchise as well as how the Transformers 4 Toy Isles will look like.
Regarding the concept art, it is clear that the characters had not undergone major changes considering their final looks we see these days. Also among the concept art is the elusive Silver Knight Optimus Prime. There seems to be a moment where Optimus activates or bonds with Grimlock (kind of like what happened in Eragon/How To Train Your Dragon) in the movie. And the Hound concept art is similar to the Transformers: Prime Bulkhead concept art we saw back in 2010. Speaking of years... the concept art dates back to 2012, indicating that they have started working on the 4th movie as soon as the 3rd was over.
Moving onto Hasbro's plans. In 2017 we will see Transformers 5. The placeholder logo for the 5th Movie is included with the plans. Video Game news
we've heard before and there will be 2 new Animated Features planned for the first quarter of 2015 and for the first quarter of 2016. The cartoons feature new faction logos and that's something worth investigating into. The cartoon will run for 2 years, bridging the gap between Age Of Extinction and Transformers 5 just like what Transformers: Prime did.
Other than these contents, you’ll also find some upcoming merchandise such as earphones, USB Chargers, Keyrings etc. as well.
Checkout the cool images we've mirrored, after the jump.

Site sponsors
Robot Kingdom and
TFsource have both provided new colored images of Unique Toys' next 3rd party offering - Soundmixer. Soundmixer is a "Classics"-sized and updated interpretation of G1 Blaster. The figure transforms into a slavish representation of his Generation 1 ghetto blaster alternate mode. The figure cannot hold Generation 1 or KFC Toys sized cassettes in his chest compartment, but it does open to store his gun which folds up into a cassette of it's own. Soundmixer will come with armor for his arms, chest and head as well as a bullhorn for maximum volume.
Check out all of the great pictures, including size comparisons to other Unique Toys offerings like Mania King, the upcoming Salmoore, KFC Cassettes and all of the figures poseability after the jump.
