Rules:

1. Must be constructive. No name calling. No insults.
2. Must be focused on Hasbro (not Tomy/Takara 'cause they don't come here and read anyway)Transformers and all its sublines. This included the movieline. Masterpiece issues should be focused only on Hasbro releases.
3. If a member posts an opinion, good but it is encouraged that the opinion is not repeated 10x100 times again by the same member.
4. It would be better that if you have an opposing view of a previously stated opinion of another member to leave it be.That's his/her soap box moment.
5. Feel free to post then.

1. Improve Q.C. Not expecting them to be Titanium strong but at least make sure prior to release, the products don't break.
2. Back in the 80, TFs were blabla bla in scale as they came from various toylines until the 3rd Season of the show. Is it possible to stick to a standard scale for their main line? Rescue bots are a different subline line.
3. Distribution issues like TFA Arcee and most recently, the latest Arcee as examples.
4. Less "yellow" if you know what I mean?
5. Twisty ties ok (the abacca/paper type) The wire based ones tend to damage the product
6. Limit the chrome aesthetics unless it is required
7. Die-cast as needed. Like maybe the joints of the thighs, shoulders or knees?
8. Lay off the electronics. Circuits affect the transformation
9. Continue the Platinum line, but continue by issueing the classics in their original colors and not like the Astrotrain and Laser Convoy colors
10. A question, can't Hasbro release Tomy Transformers products? I raised the issue because even the Tomy TF boxes, they all have Hasbro Asia marking on them.

Please try to add rotate wrist on all of the newer Generations Voyager class and Leader class toys.

Would have liked the Generations Leader class toys to combine with or at least interact with the Combiners wars toys. Thinking the Leader class toy could have combined with Four CW Voyagers.

How about doing some Ultimate or supreme class Generations toys.

Tired of some of the Classics Generations toys that barely look like their G1 orginal toys or cartoon designs. would like to see more closer looking G1 updates toys.

Would like the newer Generations or CW toys to be more beefy bulky. Instead of being more streamlined and skinny looking.

Would like to see more of the later G1 toys that had gimmicks. Get them in the Genartions toy line.

Like to see the Hasbro American versions of the Masterpiece Transformers toys released quicker. Don't like waiting over a Year after Takara released their versions in Japan.

Try to create more Exclusive G1 Japanese and UK transformers for the Generations or CW toy line.

1. No more fake, molded-in alt mode parts. I know it's the perfect shortcut to keep a TF simplified while still reasonably accurate to the increasingly "too complicated to physically transform" character models in the movies and shows, but maybe Hasbro should have talk with the character designers for the TF shows and movies.

2. Stop molding the hands into the arms as a single piece and hiding them inside alt mode parts. Makes the deluxe figs look like over-sized scout-class figs.

3. Clear plastic for windshields and headlights. This is probably isn't something many people care about, but I personally think it adds a lot to the toy, aesthetically.

4. More fembots?

Get the paint applications correct, and don't forget the obvious stuff. Examples include headlights, taillights, windows, rear windows, missiles (CW Air Raid), wheel rims when appropriate and faction symbols (Prime Deluxe RID). I'm not asking for perfection, just the obvious, please.

Also, as stores are not interested in toys without fiction, please don't release new Generations characters past wave 4.
