1. Will the Universe 2.0 line feature a new mold of Trypticon (Or at least a repaint)?

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
When oh when (if ever) will we see a Leobreaker-mold Razorclaw redeco (a la Dawn of Futures Past)?
With the new Leo Prime headsculpt it'd be simplicity itself to make (redeco it and add a visor to the headsculpt and it's done) and the biomechanical-style of the mold would work so well for Razorclaw...please?

They're giving us that on the Legends scale, at least. And since I can just pretend that Razorclaw has just upgraded to downscaled "Beast-Era-Predacon" tech, it works for me.

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
Another question came to my mind.
8. In the upcoming waves of Universe Deluxe figures we have 2 beast wars characters and 1 armada character. Are we gonna see any characters from these serieses (or other serieses) done into Universe Legends? (an idea for a TF Universe Legends Rattrap comes to mind for instance)

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
Here's a few from me.
1. Will more Armada figures be updated in the Universe line? Some of the Armada figures (such as Sideways) have very limited articulation and poseability. Likewise, will figures from Energon/Superlink also receive the same treatment?
2. Will the 25th Anniversary Universe line include more G1-accurate redecoes of Classics figures (like the 25th Anniv Universe Starscream figure)?
3. Will there be a Red Alert redeco of the Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold in Universe? Likewise, will Universe Inferno be retooled into Universe Grapple? What about some of the G1 Autobots such as Tracks and Hoist?
4. Would it be possible for a new mold to be made for Blaster? The Cybertron Soundwave repaint is quite different from the G1 version.
5. Is it possible to make more triplechangers in addition to Astrotrain and Octane (Tankor)? The Autobot side currently has no triplechangers yet.
6. How about an updated Omega Supreme for the Universe line?

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
I only have one question for them.
1. Why should we, the collectors continue to buy their products when a good majority of the figures have been plagued with quality control issues, from the poor design of Universe Ironhide, that does not allow him to transform properly, to the tacky paint apps on Universe Prowl, to the whole mess of problems recorded with the Animated figures. If it was only a one-time thing that is fine, but it hasn't been, it's been consistent throughout the lines as of late. We should have to spend hard-earned money, especially in these times on faulty figures, and then have to fix these faults ourselves. So, why should we continue to buy Hasbro's products when quality control seems to be severely lacking?

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
If nothing else, I would like to stress my question about the potential of seeing a repaint of Cybertron Unicron as Bludgeon.

It's images like this that make you even forget this mold was supposed to be Unicron.

1. With pictures of the japanese edition of Masterpiece Grimlock surfaceing, does Hasbro plan to make it available in 2009?
2. The japanese Encore line is very popular, is there a chance of making a similar, mass-reissue line?
3. Is it a possibility that in the near-future multilanguage boxes and cards could feature the full-length bios of transformers in one form or other? (for example, bio cards included in box?) We are really missing them, and it is very frustrating.

They are included, at least in Canada. They're on the back of the instructions.

Well, European boxes feature no tech specs, no bio, only the abilities of the tfs, but luckily, we have those on 11 different languages.

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
1). Are there any plans to release a Transformers Animated Leader class Lugnut thus far?
2). Will you make any brand new molds in Univerce for other combiners such as Defencor or Menasor
3). After Energon is released on DVD do you plan to release the entire series of Armada on DVD?
Not aiming at hasbro but does anyone know when the univerce combiners will be released or has that been released yet

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
What are the possibilities that we\ll see the Marvel Crossover moulds with new heads and/or other minor retoolings released as regular Transformers toys?
Asked because a lot of those designs have merits that seemed to be obscured by making them look like Marvel characters, primarily the gaudy colours and mismatched Vehicle Mode looks.

Why the "Oregon" license plate for Universe Ironhide, rather than something similar to "SWIPE" or "WE R 84" as seen on Sideswipe and Sunstreaker?
I second these questions:
Would it be possible for a new mold to be made for Blaster? The Cybertron Soundwave repaint is quite different from the G1 version.
Is it possible to make more triplechangers in addition to Astrotrain and Octane (Tankor)? The Autobot side currently has no triplechangers yet.

Because The G1 Cartoon took place in Oregon and "WE R 84" is neither witty nor funny.

2. Are you (hopefully) running out of "allspark blue" paint?
3. Can we never see "allspark blue" paint ever ever ever again?

Skywarp was ALREADY released over here in Classics, in the 2-pack with Ultra Magnus.
Staracream was ALREADY release in the classics line but they are also releasing a Universe vesrion. So I think a Universe Skywarp and Thundercracker version that we can ALL get would be good.
I have to agree with this as well...if Starscream can get re-released, then why not the other members of the Seekers? I'm inlcluding Thrust and Dirge here too...
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

Re: HASBRO TF Q/A-- December Edition-- Round 2
1. In the Robot Heroes line, are there plans to produce more G1 combiners such as Devastator, Superion, Bruticus, Defensor or Menasor?
2. Were there (are there) plans to release large scale robot heroes figures (like the Marvel line) for combiners and or base figures like Omega Supreme and Metrolplex?
3. Can you go into detail (using robot heroes as an example) how you decide which G1 toys you rercreate when. Predaking looks cool, but seems less obvious than G1 Devastator or Superion.
4. How extensive are your plans for Transformers Mighty Muggs - how many figures/lines are planned for the future?
5. Any plans to release Mini-Mighty Muggs for Transfromers and/or other lines?
6. Would you consider selling blank Mighty Muggs toys in bulk at a lower rate so we customizers can go crazy painting obscure transformers Mighty Muggs and not go broke? It seems unfair to charge the same amount for both painted and unpainted muggs.
5. Have you, or will you ever consider creating a giant behind-the-scenes coffee table book that details the creation process of Transformers toys, the art, the engineering, the prototypes, past and present, US and Japan? This would be amazing as they still remain the most complex, creative and interesting toys in the history of all remembered time. You can release it with a tiny, never before released prototype packaged with the book!
Thanks!

I was unaware or had forgotten that the G1 animated series was centered in Oregon. Thanks.
I thought "WE R 84" was a clever (read: witty) nod to the origin of the Transformers line (or, it could also represent the year they were revived by Teletraan I). No less witty than "Oregon".

1. Will there be a release of a Universe Ratchet from the Universe Ironhide mold?
2. Will any other Legends figures get a new, higher class mold, just like Hound?
3. Since there will be a Ravage accessory for Hound, will there be a new Universe Soundwave mold to store Ravage in?
4. Since there are already Universe Galvatron and Cyclonus figures, will there be a release of a Universe Scourge?

Well, that's what they were aiming for, but I think something like "SUNNY" or a plate of "The Sunshine State" would have been better. That being said, I'm digging the 'Help Us' from the Ratchet figure.
