Notes

Presenting for the Transformers team were Jerry Jivoin and John Warden. Also at the event were TakaraTomy designer Hisao Nishimoto, plus former Transformers marketing team members Greg Lombardo (representing Play-Doh) and Mike Verret (presenting for Jurassic World).
- Clips from upcoming Rescue Bots episodes introduced Blurr, High Tide, and Salvage, the "Rescue Force recruits".
- One of the Robots in Disguise slides revealed that the franchise will receive a McDonald's promotion. This will presumably be done in conjunction with My Little Pony, as their presentation also referenced the chain.
- The Deployers and their Mini-Cons were stated as being modeled specifically on the play pattern of the original Soundwave.
