TF World 2005 have a nice summary of what was discussed during Hasbro's design panel. Interesting notes include Hasbro is definately looking into bringing production on the animated shows back to North America, because Takara is taking a break from Transformers for a while
Today is the official release date for Metrodomes long awaited Transformers: Headmaster series. The box set will pave the way for their next two releases, Masterforce and Victory (depending on how well it sells). It will be interesting to see how many high street retailers stock this box set, as that will be a very good sign of how sales are going.
Hasbro have spoken about their plans for the next Transformers line after Cybertron. Shown during the panel were both a new F-15 Starscream and a gun Megatron. The toys have been described as a mix between Alternator realism, and Cybertron articulation. You can read more information on the panel on both Tformers and TFW2005
