Thus, Hasbro presented #5750: The Transformers Autobot Cars to dealers, retailers, and vendors who attended the toy fair. Each of these cool, sleek cars could transform into powerful robot warriors. Moreover, players could pull out the wheels, open the trunk, or swing out the doors of the vehicle forms. Each of these Autobots came with attachable weapons, a bio card, and a Tech Specs chart with a decoder.
Those who ordered this assortment could expect to receive figures of characters like Bluestreak, Ironhide, Ratchet, and Trailbreaker. While each shipment would contain 2 figures of Mirage, they only received one figure of each of the other Autobots.

About Our Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans
To promote their upcoming slate of products, Hasbro handed out catalogs to attendees of toy fairs and other events. Each catalog was filled with information about their newest toys, even ones still in development. Thus, they often provided the first looks at action figures, playsets, vehicles, and more from their lines. Thus, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company was responsible for one of the most popular action figures of all time: G.I. Joe. They also partnered with Takara to bring the Transformers to the Western market. The company also dipped into the fantastical worlds of Air Raiders, Inhumanoids, and Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. After Hasbro acquired Kenner, they also became the home of toy lines like Jurassic Park and Star Wars.
Hasbro used in-production prototypes in their images, as these catalogs were prepared before the lines were released. This meant that the featured toys often differed from the retail releases. Moreover, toys sometimes appeared only on these catalog pages, as they were canceled or never hit retail store shelves.
While Hasbro only handed these booklets out to trade professionals, we have now made them available to all. You can explore the toys featured in these catalogs with our Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
