That'd be bandai. Hasbro would focus on their own product. But they have nothing to show at this point in development. They'd want to build hype, and there was no panel for anything like that this year to talk about it either. Showing a half done prototype on the show floor with no panel to talk about it wouldn't be all that interesting.

Next year though, then we may see some big stuff and have some big stuff talked about. Right now it's too early in the production cycles. With less than 4 months in, there is nothing to show as yet. Let alone talk about. Next year though as they've had the license for over a year, big things should be shown and talked about.

The video reel and suit is basically Hasbro saying "We have the license now, so come to our booth next time/next year if you want to see Power Rangers stuff. We aren't going to let fans down and care about the history of it." Including even getting Jason David Frank to sign autographs. So give them some time to get some plans together to show off.

Barely 4 months in, and they've probably barely fully internally restructured and gotten a toy design team together, and developed plans. Barely at the sculpting or prototype stages. So stuff that probably can't even leave a designers desk intact as yet. Unless you want to see a lump of half sculpted clay that doesn't even look like a putty patrol character let alone a ranger. Not really anything that would have built hype for a fan convention. And if they did show that, fans would complain and make memes about how Hasbro "half assed it and aren't taking power rangers seriously."

Depending on the date. That'd make sense. They'd likely want a bigger presence there. Though this could be more towards Saban's send off Morphicon, same to Bandai. With Hasbro showing off at least a few mild Beast Morphers things if production cycle timing allows.
