Ever Wondered Why Hasbro Loses Naming Rights for Some TFs?

Check this out. While working in my job as an Energy Engineer I came across this system. I bet the desginer was a Transformers fan! GOD LOVE HIM/HER ;;) !

This also brings credence to why if Hasbro or any company really does not renew the naming rights on a specific figure/character that it is very easy for that company to lose it altogether. Leonard got around this by putting its name in front of the 'Megatron' system.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

That machine is cool.

But as for loosing the rights, there are alot of TF names that are not recycled all that often, and with other toys, manufactures, writers and whoever after them and waiting with CW forms already filled out hoping Hasbro drops the ball on the renewal date. You gotta expect some to slip through the cracks.

I don't see why when they loose a name though the they don't just go with the AUTOBOT/DECEPTICON preamble?

It is cool. Seen it in person. As for the other point with AUTO or DECEP in front of the name that is what the TFM did with Decepticon Brawl and what Leonard did here by calling it Leonard Megatron.
