Hasbro has shared a ton of pictures (101 of them!) of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – GI Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers were all represented this time around.

However, thankfully for for fans of the cartoon and the toy line, Toys R Us has kept the line going with several exclusive deluxe class figures, Rodimus Minor and Ironhide being the most recent releases. Both are hotly anticipated and must-haves to finish off the collection and could very well be the final offerings in the line.
