1.Soundwave and Ravage (don't know where he would go but a bigger Soundwave would be very nice)
2.Megatron or a constructicon(perferably Scrapper) with the Doctor(Scalpel)
3.Sideways with Alice
4.Jazz with one of two people: Glen or Maggie from the first movie
5.Jolt with Ron or Judy Witwicky
I know you said you're not going to do it but PLEASE stretch your budjet some how to get out a Leader Class Grindor?And if it's also a voice problem, since he didn't talk in the movie, you could use Fred Tatasciore's awesome voice from the game

Thanks but with respect, this board is for questions to Hasbro, so I would like Hasbro to answer them!![]()
You say the Premiums were to correct faults? No, they were for more realistic colour schemes! The only 'fault' they altered was the Leader-Class Optimus Prime (changing the gun to a sword) and when I got Premium Barricade, I noticed there was a fault in his foot; it doesn't transform or clip into place properly. Plus, the arm on my Deep Space Starscream can't be held in by the body properly. Plus, most of the ROTF figures have major faults in them (my Sideswipe, Sideways and Bumblebee suffer from something, the only ROTF figures I'm really pleased with is Soundwave and Wheelie) so by your rationale, Premiums *will* be on their way!
They are definitely holding back on the Premium line...I think there's something shifty going on...![]()
He didn't state that they where there to fix the toys, they where there to make them more move accurate colour wise.
And we have made it our policy to answer questions that have already been answered by Hasbro so that we can pick the questions that are new as we only have 3 to spend. And hasbro has already stated that there will be no premium line for ROTF.
So it's wait and see if they will do them but I'm pretty sure they won't make any as the original premium line deputed around this time in 07 and we haven't seen one indicator for it happening again save for Takara's Buster Prime.
Okay, fair enough as you've said before, but I know as I've said before that I've seen at least one Q&A session where Hasbro were asked about ROTF Premiums and the answer was a positive; that's why I'm still hot on the subject.
But I do have another question; why are we, in the UK, so behind on transformers? The two lines I am after (ROTF and Star Wars) were released earlier this year, and we still haven't advanced, whilst the USA gets all the latest lines and figures. Why are we lagging behind the US in everything (sure, obvious answer is 'UK', but that's not the point)?![]()

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Nest Bumblebee is a Deluxe Bumblebee repaint, and we've seen nothing of Ironhide. The only thing we've seen other than Cade and Mudflap is a supposed Ratchet.

yet they dont sell them internationally ?
this only makes the molds harder to find and the prices for them on ebay and such are outrageous

I like this question. Wonder if their answer would be "because our handling service blows for shipping and we know most of the product would just be returned..." Would be awesome to be able to get this stuff without the added online store markup, though.

I think it is certainly worth hearing their POV on why they tend to ignore adult collectors, and niche market in both Transformers and GI JOE, when they cater to Star Wars collectors left and right, and other companies see the value in re-creating/re-releasing previous collector oriented goods, or brand new ones based on beloved properties ideas.
Well thought out.

I definitely agree, this is a great question!
Mattel has reached out to adult collectors with their Classics MOTU line. The packaging is designed seemingly with display considerations in mind and even has "Adult Collector" printed on it, which I think is a nice touch. As I understand, the MOTUC figures have mostly sold like hotcakes.
Adult collectors are a significant division of the consumers that buy things like Transformers. There's more money to be made if Hasbro puts more focus on adult collector services.

Maybe they don't want more money?

Wow. That would ruin Hasbro since %25 of the fanbase or so doesn't like the movie. The sheer cost to make those would be astronomical. I mean your Human Alliance Sideways, Jazz and Jolt I can agree with. But apart from that, Megatron, a Constructicon and Soundwave would be freakin' huge and WAAAAAAAAAY to expensive! Also, I would only pay for a Grindor with the "SHEEEAGH!!!" sound effect.

2. Are we going to get a release of Universe Red Alert in the U.S.?
I thought this was answered as a 'No'.
I believe it was more like "We have no plans for any further characters to appear in the current universe line." which I interpreted as "Look for him in wave 1 or 2 of Universe 3

Can I please get a Trypticon Encore figure? I mean Omega Supreme & Sky Lynx have been done
Any chance on the Dinobots getting the Encore or Universe treatment? I know we got a Classics Grimlock, but I would like to see a full set(especially a good Swoop)
