From: glass case of emotion

The International Toy Fair was held in NYC over the weekend. To sum things up:

- Transformers is gets the Star Wars treatment. The Attacktix battle game and Titanium die-cast figures are the upcoming projects.

- The Cybertron line is going to get FILLED with toys not seen in the cartoon. Armada Optimus Prime makes another appearance as a $10 figure sporting a new paint job. UNICRON is an orange battle tank for the $10 line. Soundwave and Nemesis Breaker (Dark Ligerjack) will be out in March. Metroplex and Galvatron is the new leader assortment starting in the summer.

- The Alternator line continues with or without Binaltech support. A near completed Optimus Prime was shown, along with Mirage. March's Alternator case will feature 4 figures, Optimus Prime, Rollbar, Ricochet, and Skids / Sunstreaker. May's case will feature 4 figures, Optimus Prime, Mirage, Meister, and Tracks / Swerve.

- Beast Wars Returns completely tanked. This line is DONE after the Megatron and Primal 2 pack slated for a fall release. These figures are not repaints, but brand new molds ... kind of a "this is how they were supposed to be done" release.

(not sure if these image hotlinks work...)
