Once again Hasbro has enough Transformers announced at Toy Fair 2011 to populate Cybertron. Let’s do the run-down, shall we?
TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH Action Figures
One of the most innovative toy lines in history introduces the next revolution in TRANSFORMERS action figures with the new MECHTECH line. Each TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH figure comes with a unique converting MECHTECH weapon that is interchangeable with all other core TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH figures. MECHTECH weapons can connect to each other or to TRANSFORMERS MECHTECH figures to “power-up” the figure. Leading the way in this new expression is the MECHTECH ULTIMATE OPTIMUS PRIME action figure, one of the largest, most impressive TRANSFORMERS action figures. Following are highlights of the new MECHTECH line.
