TFW2005:
The UK Toy Fair 2012 is in full swing, with a few bits of new product news and some updates about the release status of Transformers in the UK.
Macula of Fullmetalhero has posted news from the event, and here is a summary of the key items Hasbro had on show:
There will be a new size class in Beast Hunters - Ultimate class. Expected to be around Leader size, the first two releases are Dragon Disk Optimus Prime and Predaking. Predaking is the larger one we saw images of at the New York Toy Fair (attached to this story for reference)
There will also be a five pack of Legion class Predacons. No other details available as yet.
UK release news - Beast Hunters will be released in the UK in May, with the expectation that three waves will be released between then and the end of the year.
UK release of Masterpiece Optimus Prime is "in Toys R Us' hands"
Keep tuned to TFW for news in February from the US Toy Fair, which should include all the above - with pictures - and lots more!

Several days ago, we first
reported that Shockwave would be the new release featured in Wave 2 of the Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Voyager Assortment. This was based off of a listing in
Previews.
Courtesy of TFW2005 sponsor
BigBadToyStore, the assortment breakdown has been revealed on their pre-order page for the assortment. For those worried that Hasbro would shortpack Shockwave and make him impossible to find, worry not! Shockwave will come two to a case, with one each of Optimus Prime and Predaking carrying over from Wave 1.
The pre-orders for the various Voyager Wave 2 collection currently carry a February release date.

Drift gets the deluxe upgrade as the four-issue mini-series plus the Spotlight issue is collected in this hard cover oversized edition. Once a DECEPTICON, Drift now fights alongside the AUTOBOTS in the ongoing Civil War. How he came to be here, why he was once known as DEADLOCK, and how he came to be at odds with his DECEPTICON allies is revealed.

UK Toy Fair 2013 started today and other Toy Fairs (including the famous New York Toy Fair 2013) are to happen across the globe soon. Hong Kong Toy Fair 2013 was recently concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Though the presence of Hasbro was not heard, Transformers did make an appearance. Calibre toy company was there with their Transformers Movie Resin Statues. Thanks to You Tube page Atamaiidotcom, we now have with us, footage from the Toy Fair floor.
Movie Optimus Prime Resin Statue is 20 inches tall, posable with swappable hands and comes with Energon Swords and Axe.
Movie Bumblebee Resin Statue is 14 inches tall, posable, scaled to Optimus Prime and also with swappable hands and weapons with a Battle Mask.
The statues are Asian Exclusives with Optimus Prime going for US$ 1699 and Bumblebee for US$ 1399. Pretty expensive since the toys are
"Limited Edition".
Also you can buy your own small Movie Allspark for US$ 299.

3rd Party group, Unique Toys, updated their
Facebook page debuting the prototype for their next unofficial Predacon, War Rhino. War Rhino is a clear homage to
G1 Headstrong and the prototype is shown here in robot mode, beast mode, and leg mode. The robot mode is shown in several poses showing off the figures articulation. The leg mode pictures show that the one leg component itself will offer quite a bit of articulation in combined mode as well. All the better to crush one's enemies under foot.

In a pre-Toy Fair update,
Geekdad has lifted the lid on an all-new series of Transformers toys coming this Fall. The new line is named Transformers Construct-Bots, and it moves Transformers into a new realm of designs. Taking a few cues possibly from Bionicle or Machine Robo Mugenbine, this new series consists of 24 initial planned releases across four size classes, and they post complete compatibility with one another, allowing you to disassemble and reassemble the toys to your liking.
The four size assortments are Scout at $9.99 with characters like Ironhide and Starscream, Elite at $14.99 with Wheeljack and Soundwave, Triple Changer at $24.99 with Bumblebee and Blitzwing, and lastly Ultimate at $34.99 which is where Optimus Prime and Megatron may be purchased.
A natural progression from Kre-O, a fun new concept or just too plain cool? Sound off on your thoughts by hitting the discuss button below.
