That was in reference to the possibility of him not being in the cartoon and thus being toy-only. Just becuase he toy a Takara-mold doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In no part of my post did I mean to hint at the idea of Hasbro releasing Swerve.

Neither did I say you did. I was simply referring to the fact that Swerve was a Takara release, and I didn't think Hasbro would take a character from Japan's line for their own show without importing it, or making the mold here, which would require a Breakdown one way or the other.

Wow... I missed a lot here.

With the previous topic at hand, Bubbah was right. But I think that the only Decepticon who is capable of building a functioning space bridge can find a few extra blank protoforms.

Oh... And with Breakdown, I kind of see Hasbro using a variation of the Takara Tomy mold. Maybe one with two Breakdown heads and a Silas head... All removable. But will they do it? Doubtful. But I hope I am wrong.

Besides, I am already contempt with my (first-run) AM-11 Arcee. Granted, her figure is not series accurate... But the packaging is one of my favorites in my collection. But even then, saying all of this has me wonder about the following:

1) What is Red Energon?
2) Will Starscream find that one piece of Airachnid?
3) Why have I not noticed the words "BAD WOLF" on the TARDIS before?
4) If Jackie is the new teammate, does this mean we will see another teammate join in season 3?
5) Are the Rescue Bots this continuity's answer to Headmasters Jr.?
6) Will Silas be the very first Headmaster?
7) Who is this superhero? (Sarge? No... Rosemary, the telephone operator? No... Henry, the mild-manner janitor that sounds like Jazz? "Could be.")
Will Skyfire ever join the cast?
9) Will Megatron ever become Galvatron?
10) What does Takara Tomy have in mind with the series, since they seem to be going their own direction with PRIME.

..... Hmmm...

Well, Hasbro confirmed they're not using the Takara AM mold because it's too expensive to get the AM ports removed and mass-produce. I doubt we'll see that Breakdown mold here. They'll come up with their own mold, and it will be utter crap, and I will praise that day I ordered AM-12 Breakdown.

It's Hasbro. And with Hasbro, I am surprise they were not the company that made the "Tony Tony Chopper" themed toilet paper I had spotted at the Toys"R"Us in Ikebukuro.

And best of luck getting him. I personally feel that the figure looks as nice as the packaging. Plus, his Arms Micron kinda fits who he is.

Thanks, but I already have Breakdown. I got him a month ago. He's been sitting on my con shelf (I separate my Prime figs by faction. Not enough space for both on one shelf) with Knock Out, Screamer, Soundwave, and Megs, yet no Airachnid to get revenge on

Let's see.

1) Time will tell.
2) Why must he? Is that piece really all that important?
3) Huh?
4) That would be nice.
5) Probably a coincidence, but I do see a resemblance function-wise.
6) I'm guessing he'll be something like G1 Spike was with Autobot X.
7) Say what?
8 ) Dunno.
9) Dunno.
10) Probably something like what they've done with their dubs of Beast Wars, Beast Machines, and Animated. Same story with a comedic tone.

1) Yup. I am still wondering if it will have a hate plague-like effect.

2) Because Starscream wants to lead the Decepticons. Which means Megatron needs to be eliminated. Which means he will need an army. And if he clones Airachnid, he will have a second-in-command that will both not betray him and control the Insecticons. Which could mean, if he is successful, Megatron is eliminated and he will be the new Decepticon leader.

3)Joke. "Bad Wolf" is a Doctor Who term for the end of the world. Plus, the (ninth) Doctor from that season later became Destro in the first G.I.Joe movie.

4) Agreed. However, I would have preferred Jetfire joining first so IDW could focus on a Wheeljack comic series that happens during that portion of the series.

5) Agreed. I now have to ask them if this was the case, even though they also add a "Silverbolt" to the team.

6) I am wondering if it will be like Autobot X (but prettier) or Daniel and Arcee in "The Rebirth."

7) Another joke. However, Scatman Crothers (the musician/actor/voice actor) was both Jazz in the original G1 series and Hong Kong Phooey.

10) I was thinking more like how they took Beast Wars, and made it bigger. With manga series, two anime sequels, and more. Because every time I think about their version of the series, I see them fill in the gaps with their version.

Once again the AT&T U-verse program guide provides us with an extended Transformers Prime episode description. Check out the slightly more in-depth synopsis for "New Recruit", which is scheduled to air on September 7th.

Optimus Prime and Megatron once again face each other in an epic battle for control over the Earth; the Autobots and Decepticons come across some clues that could have the potential to change the war and perhaps restore Cybertron.

Sounds way different than the Zap2it description.
