Paramount Pictures' Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was one of the highlights during the convention's first day, and Hasbro revealed an associated Gelatinous Cube toy that will kickstart a new product line intended to promote the film.
Among Hasbro's other integral properties is Transformers, which has historically been one of their most profitable brands and boasts a passionate community of toy collectors.

The two groups will appear as live-action Beast Wars characters in the next Transformers movie, Rise of the Beast, the sequel to 2018's Bumblebee.
