To help save the hassle, I thought I'd answer some questions that have already been answered (people, please do a little research before asking these questions. It just helps stop the thread from overflowing with pointless questions):
thedrknss48 wrote:Q: With the release of Masterpiece Starscream and now the upcoming release of Masterpiece Skywarp, can we see the future release of other Masterpiece products seen in Japan such as Thundercracker, Megatron, or Optimus Prime?
They've already said no to Megatron because he is a gun, Optimus Prime there has been two versions of (and as far as I know, they have no interest in bringing over MP-04, but I could be wrong, but he would have short smokestacks anyway), and I believe they want to bring Thundercracker out in the near future.

1.will you ever rerelease some older transformers from down the line like r.i.d. landfill or or some classics like rodimus prime or mirage(just the top of my head) becouse some figures are so fun but so rare!
2. wil you ever make that extra tf from ez devastator or teh rest of the constructicons
1. As far as I know, they currently have no plans, but I'm sure they'd be interested in a few more years (but Classics Rodimus and Mirage aren't rare. You should be able to find those online easily and for a good price).
2. Yes and no. They said they are looking at getting EZ/Legends Devastator over, but maybe as an exclusive. They're not sure yet. And as for the rest of the Constructicons, they said no. That was in the previous Q&A from another website.

The next time Universe starts up, are their going to be more figures remaking a better version of characters from some of the lesser known themes, like their was a Hotshot? Like from RiD or more Beast Wars reimages. Or reproducing some of the good but hard to find now G2 molds, like the Cyberjets or Laser Cycles, to follow on the heels of Skyfall/Skyjack?
Is there going to be another new cartoon series now that Animated has run its course? Preferrable sticking to cel animation instead of CGI.
Also, I agree that the question of why the box art for figures and more importantly the instructions tend to be so atrociously wrong. e.e;
They've already said there will be another cartoon on their new Discovery network. We just have to wait. They said probably 3rd quarter of 2010 (so Fall/Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. And it's damn hot over here in New Zealand for the beginning of Spring. I hate Summer. And Spring).

will we see any of the g1 or rid combiners or fortess maximus, or cybertron primus released anytime soon?
are going to get any of the japanese beast wars seeries, & transfromers R.I.D. complete dvd box sets release by anytime soon?
will we see a repaint of universe starscream painted into Sunstorm, or any other name that comes to mind i cant get enough of the universe seekers?
Fortress Maximus, no, because he apparently didn't past the drop/safety-test in RID, so they won't be considering him any time soon. It'd be nice though.
The Japanese Beast Wars series are actually only available on VHS in Japan. Not only are they rare, but they have never made it to DVD even in Japan. So just keep watching them on YouTube. Or TFcog if you want dubs.
If by Universe Starscream, you mean the Classics seeker mould, they said they will look into Sunstorm at a later date, maybe next year, but no definite plans yet. As for others, such as Thrust, Dirge, and Thundercracker, they want to do them, but they'd have to be significantly different to the Botcon and Henkei versions, so at this point, no plans.

and if not Why?
ROTF Superion and Bruticus were originally planned as Universe releases. Considering the fact that Universe is the sequel toy line to the Classics series, and that
Devastator was released under that line, it's mostly unlikely.
As far as I am aware, the Universe versions of those combiners never got released in the US or Canada, but they did get released in other parts of the world (like here in New Zealand, but they were still retailer exclusives. Exclusive to our Farmers stores here in New Zealand, since the only Target we have is Target Furniture). But no, that Constructicon Maximus repaint into Devastator was released in the Classics line, so now we've now got all three combiner homages/repaints done. They won't do another, unless it's a reissue (or they're dumb. Or unless you buy Nexus Maximus, because we all love that toy
)
guardianprime wrote:also, any chance for a red rampage toy (or scavenger themed demolishor?)
There's already a red Rampage planned. I believe it's an exclusive, but a listing was found in a store computer (I think it was WalMart but I can't remember).
That's all for now. I'll edit this post if anyone else asks already answered questions. Hopefully I'm helping out, and hopefully this helps some people.
