The Energon Pub

At this year's Botcon, Animated Ironhide and Animated Rodimus Minor action figures were finally shown in public. If that's the case, then why Ironhide's former best friend, Fugitive Waspinator is still hasn't show up yet beside him? Does that really mean that he's canceled for good, or will he still be released at a future date, just like Ironhide and Rodimus will be?

I was told that Hasbro said this: "We plan on getting them out, but if you can get them from Japan, do so."

So, if that's really what they said, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

I say, have faith in Hasbro.
With the Generations line, I'm sure all of the unreleased Animated figures will trickle in sometime.
Especially since they seem to be branching out past the Deluxe size.

With an apparent Scout Class Windcharger, and Voyager Grapple. Nothing else,

Not to mention, it could take them quite some times (we're talking years, here) to get them out. Take Rodimus and Ironhide for example. They were shown at last year's Botcon for that following Fall/Holiday season, and now at this Botcon we find out they'll be coming this Fall, a year later.

I wouldn't hold my breath, and I wouldn't bank on Hasbro on this one. Animated just didn't go wall, all the way around. Takara is making them available to the people, and I think we should get them all while we can and be done with it. If Hasbro starts putting out new product, go for it, but if Takara beats them to the punch in everything, we might as well get 'em while we can.

I know I will.

Wow, that answer from Hasbro doesn't inspire much confidence at all. It's yet another example of their lackluster support of TFA after the cartoon ended.
