Toyfair UK 07 – Lots of News
Before 2006, as with every year, Hasbro UK attends the UK Toyfair in January, promises lots of things, and disappoints us fans when nothing happens. After last year, where the UK received a great deal of the Cybertron toyline, and started getting Classics a month after the USA, it seems we can start to trust Hasbro UK again.
Prowlus of TFW2005 has attended the Toydair today and returned with scans of Hasbro UK’s catalogue. There is a page with Classics, Titaniums (3″ and 6″) and Alternators, and multiple pages for the Transformers Movie (1,2,3,4).
Prowlus also reports that there is no chance of the 10th Anniversary Beast Wars reaching the UK.

Also, it seems that Canada will also be getting the reissue, just a bit later. There is no word on a UK release at this time.
Movie Ratchet and Optimus Blaster in Packaging
Two new Transformers Movie toy images to be shown, including both Ratchet as well as a roleplay toy featuring Optimus Prime’s arm in packing.
It may be relevant to many fans that the Ratchet packing features an image of his movie head.

Classics Wave 2 in European Packaging
TFW2005 have come across new packaged images of Classics Mini-Cons Wave 2, which haven’t been released yet. They are shown in European packaging, which means they will likely hit parts of Europe within the next 2/3 months, but hopefully means Wave 1 of the Classic Mini-Cons will also arrive in that time.
The images can be found here.
Argos Catalogue Out Today
The new Argos Catalogue is out today, and with it, (hopefully) more Transformers toy releases. A scan has appeared on TFW2005 which shows some interesting images. Optimus Prime is pictured for the Titanium series, Jetfire for the Classics Voyager class, and wave 1 of the Classic Legends value Pack.
