Company spokeswoman Julie Duffy says Hasbro’s offices will be closed around the world until April 1 to protect employees from the coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19.

Greetings Seibertronians! It's that time of year folks, as Wonder Festival 2020 [Winter] is set to kick off in Japan this weekend, and of course Takara Tomy will be there with some goodies to show off. According to a post on their website, one of these goodies will be a world first as they plan on unveiling the complete Studio Series Devesator! One can only assume that this will be made up of all the finalised toys unlike the last time we saw Devy in which case he was sporting a blue prototype of Overload, the last Leader Class Constructicon to be released.



As well as all the latest Studio Series releases, they are bringing with them Generations Earthrise and the latest Generations Selects toys.

To help promote Devesator, Takara Tomy are doing a twitter based giveaway where if you retweet their promotional tweet while attending the show, simple show your screen to one of the attendants to be given a free A5 sized file featuring Devesator on one side of it (while stocks last).

Here is the message from Takara Tomy's website, bearing in mind this has been machine translated:
