June is coming, and so is Botcon.

Which leads up to an eventual Hasbro panel...

Now, I know there are many questions that need answering, but what do you think as a collective fandom, we need to ask Hasbro? We all know the drill where we avoid asking if character "A" will be represented with a new figure, or if character "B" will be repainted into a future release. They just wash those questions out, and we either respect that, or all ask the same question with different wording (which your oh so humble original poster would find tremendously amusing).

Regardless, what do you think we need to ask the Hasbro panel?

I'd prefer to re-write that above question a bit. I'd take out the word DOTM & replace it with TF Prime.

are there any plans to continue generations/rts during the later stages of the DotM line or are there plans for new yet unnamed lines to be established?

My question:
What's up with the haphazard distribution? DotM wave 3 showing up in one state when Generations wave 3 hasn't, Europe being so far behind and not getting most stuff...

If anyone would be so kind as to ask "When do you plan on stopping being cheap with your products?" or just shout "QUAAAADD" ;D

I hope someone asks what's up with the terrible distribution of RTS and Generations figures. Also, although I have heard that the Generations figures that have not been in stores (Wheeljack, Warpath, etc) are finally showing up, I am wondering if RTS will continue to be in stores, or if I should give up hope of getting Perceptor and Wreck-Gar in stores and get them online.

Can you guys keep this topic to realistic questions instead of "who can be the biggest and rudest smart ass?" There will be quite a few of us there. I'd like to have a few ideas of some serious questions that you guys would like answered pertaining to past and future Transformers products.

Why not a question about why Takara can get chrome and shiny paint while we cannot?

Perceptor has some chrome as does Thrust and Recon Ravage. Why not make more use of it? And the even better shiny paint Animated and United uses.

Probably because Hasbro's too cheap to do that. But I agree...SHINY!!!

I think other than the RTS and Gen questions that Im sure are going to be the same thing expressed eight ways, someone should ask about class sizes, and if larger sizes are being strayed away from due to costs rising. Its easy for suppliers to think that voyagers aren't going to be bought up, with Seaspray toasting up shelves from sea to shining sea. It also seems as though smaller classes are being pushed a bit harder with the new lineup, and Im wondering if thats going to be an ongoing trend. Plus, play sets like the ark, seem to be a bit of a gamble to fish out a target market. What are the chances of larger sized sets, and are weapon packs in the near future?

"Any plans for some celebratory toys in 2012, to conicide with the Minicons/Unicron Trilogy 10th birthday, in the same vein as the BW stuff of 2006?"

(My god, 10yrs since Armada? I'm starting to feel old!)
