While Hasbro revealed their version of Power Surge Optimus during the investor meeting slides, they also sent some promotional toy images, which were found on Business Wire. At first, it seemed like the picture below was just a picture of that same Optimus toy, just not a 3D render. However, after closer inspection, this is actually a completely different toy using the same theme. This reveals a new product which is a redeco/retool of the Warrior Optimus toy decked out in Power Surge colours (quite reminiscent of Thunderclash) with some clear blue swords. You can see this new picture below and compare it to the other version of Power Surge Prime.

The top looks like a remold of the Deluxe class version and the lower one like a new bigger one with a gimmick. I think when you plug in the Chestmaster, the wings and the shoulder guns unfold and maybe some lights and sounds are activated.

That would be great. I would be absolutely satisfied with that if we don't get a Nova Prime out of Titans Return or Titan Wars.

While we were already made aware of both a Warrior class and larger Power Surge Optimus toy, Hasbro has now revealed more images of these two along with official images of other new toys such as Warrior Class Windblade and Scorponok. Enjoy!

Is Windblade a remold of the Generations toy?

It kinda looks like that which would explain the alternate deco at the very least it looks like this one has better feet.


How the heck does Scorponok stand?

Then it has a lot of the same kind of molding including the sword which is also eerily similar with the Sword and it's sheath design invoking a lot of the same visuals as the Generations mold.

Welp, so much for me not getting any more RID figures. Gonna need to gran Scorponok and Windblade. Maybe Bisk too.

Also: Why does Optimus Prime look like Tarn with his armored helmet?

So Windblade is a retool of the Generations deluxe. OK, that's fair enough. But Primus, did they have to get rid of the ball-jointed wrists? That was one of the few good things about that mold. I hope I'm wrong and it's just the photography making her look like she has no wrists, but if they DID nix the articulation then that's pretty sh!tty.

She never had ball-jointed wrists, but you can see here:

She does indeed have no wrist articulation, but I don't think that she is a remold of the gen figure however :-?

That looks like an all new mold to me and my Windblade doesn't have ball jointed wrists. They are mushroom pegged.

Also good to see that Hasbro is using the Battle Grimlock mold which I just got.

Don't worry, I can't almost guarantee you that you got it for much cheaper, and with a better paint job, in all likelihood, than whatever this 'Platinum' set will cost :BANG_HEAD:

It really doesnt look like a retool to me. It looks like a totally new mold which has a similar design. The transformation is bound to be different. Also, I have no clue which ball jointed wrists you are speaking of. Feel free to provide a picture so that we better understand what you are getting at.

Oh yeah, I am pretty sure no one is regretting getting their takara grimlock even after seeing this news. Takara's deco is show accurate and you can buy it by itself, sounds like a win in my book.

Whoops! My mistake, she has mushroom peg wrists. Still better than no wrists at all, though.

(I don't actually own Gen Windblade because from what I've seen it's not a very good figure. Please don't shoot me.)

The Hasbro panel showed a few upcoming Robots in Disguise toys and we got the 3D renders for the Warrior class figures, the big Power Surge Optimus and the Platinum set. However, there was a ton of new stuff on the show room, giving us an idea at the vast amount of products coming out this year. This vast amount makes sense since the Investors Presentation made us aware that 70% of the Transformers toy market is dominated by Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise (with Generations only making up 30%).

Here is a list of everything else that was revealed only through the display area:

One Step Changer Bisk

Image

Image

One Step Blizzard Strike Sideswipe

Image

One-Step Changers/Advanced Optimus Prime

Image

Image

One-Step Changers/Advanced Strongarm

Image

Legion Groundbuster

Image

Legion Blizzard Strike Drift

Image

Battle 2-pack Sideswipe with Minicon WindStrike
Battle 2-pack Strongarm with Minicon Sawtooth

Image

Image

Image

Image

Powersurge Heros Bumblebee with Minicon Buzzstrike
Powersurge Heros Sideswipe with Minicon Windstrike

Image

Image

Image


Minicon 4 pack with Autobot Dragonus, Bash Breaker, Lord Doomitron, and Lancelon
3 step Energon Boost Bumblebee (with all-spark blue) and 3 step Drift (regular colours)

Image

There is also a Warrior Grimlock rerelease which has a box with a new playability feature highlighted involving the weapon minicons.

Image

And a slew of minicons, many of which can become weapons, such as Tricerashot, Lord Doomitron, Weapon Slipstream and Bashbreaker.

The show runners not knowing if the name was available for toys, hasbro not caring enough to notify them, no plans to make a toy at the time so nobody thought it would be a problem, take your pick.

Hasbro has a history of making sure that their cartoons have used names that they can use. For them to not do so would make them look bad.
