Hasbro likes to debut exclusive Transformers merchandise at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) since it’s one of the biggest comic cons in the U.S. with massive media coverage. After the big weekend, it’s usually available in exclusive retailers or on Hasbro’s own website for those to purchase so you don’t have to be at the Comic-Con event in order to buy it.
