If I recall correctly, the Universe Ravage is designed to be able to fit in to the G1 Soundwave. And considering how oftgen he's been re-issued, it shouldnt be too tricky to find him.

The submitted questions...

1.) Since the Universe toyline spans TF history, is there any chance of seeing a Transtech figure, or another "figure that never was"/"Lost Figure"? A "What Might Have Been" segment of the Timeline could be interesting to say the least.


2.) Any more Universe Ultras in the works? Are there any particular character(s) that you have been thinking would be a great fit for that particular size?

3.) Most characters in the TF universe are male, but there were a few fem-bots in the 1980s cartoon as well. Will we be seeing any of them in the universe toy line?

4.) Can you explain the typical pipeline for a toy from concept to finished product, including time & constraints, how many are produced, planning for repaints, etc.? A book illustrating this subject (with many images ) would be a very sought after collectible in the community.

5.) What is the hook for on Universe Galvatron's shoulder (the piece is gray and unfolds from another purple folding piece) ? And the fold out shoulder 'legs/feet'? Can you show us the conceptualized use of these features?



They should respond by next week. Thanks for your submissions.

Uh... you're a little late for submitting questions, mate! :P

Those are some pretty good questions. Score, one of mine made the cut! I'm anticipating the answers!

My question may come abit later, but I will wanna voice out on a serious issue.

What is Hasbro's stand on fans who tried to impersonate various Hasbro important personel such as Aaron Archer? I mean will they take legal action or are there a series of steps they would take?

I feel this is essentially important as there are many pranksters around, waiting to play pranks on us, especially very trusting fans who love the occasional rumours. =/

I am not sure this has been a prevalent issue. At what points has this been an issue, if you don't mind me asking?

Likeiwse, I've never felt this was an issue. Anytime a rumour has come to this site claiming to be from someone big it has been labelled as a rumour, in my experience.
