Its called different cultures, countries, customs and languages. In your eyes we might all look the **** same, but sorry, there's a great distinction between countries in Asia and their populations.
Why doesn't China and Japan share and hold hands together? Oh because maybe if you didn't know, the Japanese killed over 2 million Chinese civilians in WWII. That happened awhile ago but there's this deep seated distrust that still lingers on.
So with that in mind, not exactly hard to see why Hasbro Asia doesn't want to have their claws in everything, along with all of the other barriers. And as much as there cooperation between Takara and Hasbro, they are still seperate companies. Same thing goes for distribution in South Korea, which is not Hasbro Asia, rather a company called Mocom Toy.

All of Asia except Japan.
Honestly, it's really as simple as Hasbro didn't want to do the same thing twice. Would you rather Hasbro not make any effort with creating new paint apps for reissues?

Basically, it's like how there's a market for the United Kingdom, and a market for mainland Europe, right?GuyIncognito wrote:In this context, "Asia" is neither a continent nor a race nor a culture; it's a defined market. They call it the "Asia" market because it's a convenient term, that's all. There's no reason for anyone to be offended by it, and bringing race into the conversation serves no purpose other than to troll people.

For some reason, his head looks down even more so than Henkei and Universe Ratchet. I can't figure out what the problem is with this particular version of Ratchet. Even Specialist Ironhide isn't this bad. Any of you have Specialist Ratchet? Is the head on yours worse than the other two versions?

And why now, of all times? What sense does it make for these to be announced so far back yet never see the light of day until now?
And why these three? The Seekers and Coneheads made sense, but these? What's the connection?
And, "Henkei! Henkei!"? Seriously? Henkei! Henkei! is a dead toyline. Shouldn't Takara be marketing these as Generations, or at least as another late addition to United?
And why these decos? Were some really asking for a Perceptor with blue treads? Or a Ratchet (seriously, Universe Ratchet?) with a red hood/roof? Or a Kup with more symbols and more dark gray?
