Toy Fair 2012 Day 1: Transformers

Transformers was a somewhat mixed bag this year. On the plus side, we can look forward to a ton of new figures from the Prime, Fall of Cybertron, and Generations lines. On the down side, many of the highly anticipated figures that fans have been looking forward to have been canceled or put on hiatus. The biggest loss is the remaining Dark of the Moon figures, including one that I was particularly looking forward to: Human Alliance Soundwave:

It's possible that we may see a limited release later on, as we did with Mudflap, but no guarantees at this point.

In happier news for large-scale TF collectors, Hasbro did unveil their Transformers: Prime Weaponizers Optimus Prime & Bumblebee figures:
Weaponizers Optimus Prime
Weaponizers Bumblebee
The "Weaponizers" figures are approximately "Leader" sized, so they may fit pretty well with your Human Alliance/Alternator/etc. figures. TFormers.com has a video demonstration of the Bumblebee figure in action.
