Toy Fair 1986 was held in New York City, New York. It's likely that the event was more geared towards retailers than the press, and catering to online fanbases or the adult collector would have seemed humorous at the time.
Below are scans from Hasbro's pre-Toy Fair 1986 catalog, which also included pages on My Little Pony, Hasbro Softies, and G.I.Joe. Many of the toys seen in the images are not final. Some don't even appear to be transformable. These images were put together to entice retailers into buying product assortments for the coming year.

Transformers Fan Community Charity Drive
On February 23, 2010, an eBay auction for the above pre-Toy Fair catalog was spotted on eBay. Dropping the required $500 would have been overkill for one person, but it was suggested that if multiple fans donated $5 each, the catalog could be bought and shared with everyone. The Allspark, a Transformers fan message board site, orchestrated this drive, and very quickly reached the required monetary amount.
In fact, the Allspark raised more money than was needed, and so instead of returning the surplus donations, it was suggested that the excess funds be donated to Hasbro Children's Hospital. The drive continued, but this time with the goal of raising $2000. Ultimately, the charity drive raised $2340. The names of the contributors are listed below.
