Why was the decision made to have the individual components of the Supreme Class Devastator NOT transform into separate robots and are there any plans to make this happen in a future release?

by **Jetstorm92210** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:55 pm

Which exclusives are having international releases (G1 Perceptor, Insecticons, Masterpiece Skywarp)?
Are Animated Ultra Magnus, Shockwave, Wreck-Gar and Universe Inferno going to be released in Mexico?

1: Will you ever be making toys for the other Constructicons in ROTF?

2: I have a few considerations for toys in the future of ROTF, and I'm wondering if you'd like to use them:

Buzzsaw (Repainted Dead End/Detour)

Steeljaw (Repainted Ravage)

Perceptor (Repainted Scalpel, minus antennae)

Any plans for a U.S. release of Masterpiece Grimlock? If not, then please consider having one... please. I'm very poor.

Are any Human Alliance sets planned besides Bumblebee w/Sam, Skids w/Mikaela and Arcee, Swideswipe w/Epps, and Barricade w/Frenzy?

Would it be possible to include Tech Spec cards with future figures similar to what the Henkei and Masterpiece line included? Featuring Character art on one side, and their motto and stats on the other.

Could a robot points system or Hasbrotoyshop.com codes be included with future toy lines as well?

1. Whats the word with the new Animated stuff you showed off at BotCon? Mostly Rodimus Minor, Arcee, Blackout, Wingblade Prime and Hydrodrive Bumblebee.

2. Is the US going to see a Legends Devastator release?

3. Any new remolds for any Beast Wars figures like with Cheetor and Dinobot in the Universe Line?

4. Anymore Leader class RotF figures coming out? I heard a rumor about a Leader Starscream and I would like to see some more.

1 - ROTF line: Is Wheelie planned for a Legends and/or Scout class release?

2 - Since Masterpiece Skywarp was announced, will we also see Masterpiece Thundercracker and Grimlock in future released by Hasbro, and maybe a slightly modified Megatron (a shade of white instead of silver, with an orange tip)?

3 - Are there more G1 reissues planned after Perceptor, the Insecticons and the Soundwave 4 cassette pack and will they be available internationally in Toys'R'Us?

Why is it that some people have found ROTF Breakaway in tan/beige and in a darker brown color? Is this a running change or something?

We've heard that characters such as Springer, Hot Rod(Rodimus), and Ultra Magnus were in an earlier version of the script for ROTF, but somewhere along the line they were either changed or cut out entirely. How far along in the design stages did these characters get and will we get toys of them? Obviously Springer was far along enough that he got a Legends toy. Any possibility he or some of the other characters that didn't make it into the film will see mainline toy releases as deluxes, voyagers, etc. and not just Legends?

Is the Animated Line Continuing in the UK? The last deluxes to be released were wave 5 and voyager wave 6 (Skywarp & Shockwave) seemed to be online only purchases, will they see brick-and-mortar store releases along with further waves?
