Toy Fair 2017: Hasbro Fan Media Event

Each year the Hasbro Media Event is a trove of information, and 2017 was no different! Here's the rundown:

Transformers
- Upcoming "Forged to Fight", a fighting game featuring the complete history/universe of Transformers, coming Spring 2017 to the app store and Google Play.

- Generations this year centers around the Prime Wars trilogy, with Titans Returns for 2017 and Power of the Primes in 2018.
- - Titan Masters Wave 2 Ramhorm, Roadburn, Cosmos, and Seaspray. Deluxe figs in Wave 2 Perceptor, Flintlock, Quake, Topspin, and Krok.
- - Titans Retrun Wave will feature Twintwist, Windblade / Scorchfire Murk / Octone, Hazard / Blitzwing, Dreadnaut / Overlord (jet mode, tank mode, and base mode!).
- - New Collection Packs Fastlane, Nautica, Laser Prime, and Quickswitch coming soon.
- - "Strength" set diecast Thunderwing, Pounce, Metalhawk, Tidal Wave, and Magnus Prime.
- - Trypticon was of course the Fan Vote Winner, and we finally got to see him! The presentation ran through the design process for this guy, from rough foam models, a kit-bashed version, a rough block model that had articulation, and technical drawings. It's an impressive year-long journey to the final figure. It transforms into one of the biggest bases they've created, while also featuring a spaceship mode. Trypticon eats Titan Masters, and watching the presenters feed him was pretty satisfying.
