When will we get a new base, and why are they skimping on things like trailers for Prime?

I taught Transformers Animated Prime gets a trailer in his Earth mode

It's not a trailer, it's the back of his firetruk!

Oh why can't you make a true Devastator for classics?

Or why is it with everyline instead of giving us new characters they get powered up some how with a new color scheme

When will you finaly import some of the cooler stuff Takara has to offer, like the rest of the MP line, THS, Music Label, Robot Masters, Sports Label and so on, instead of giving us the same repedative figures?

Keep in mind this is Hasbro Canada that will be there, not Hasbro USA. Completely different entities.

I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

"When will we get a new base, and why are they skimping on things like trailers for Prime?"

These questions were asked and answered at the Botcon Q&A. It was actually me that asked the base one

Trailers: rising oil prices mean figure weight has to come down for prices to stay constant, so to still have a substantial Prime toy, the trailer has to go. The Hasbro guys seemed a bit down about it as well, but that's whatcha get from $100 a barrel.

Bases: all they said was "look out for something in about 18 months", so we may see something of that nature round about Q4 2008.

Or anywhere else on Earth come to that, but Canada especially seeing as you don't even have to cross an ocean to get there. Hell, I met a few Canadians at Botcon who drove down to Providence, the city that houses Hasbro HQ. I suspect the answer is somewhere along the lines of "because then foreigners wouldn't have to pay twice as much for the same items", but I'm not sure why.

When I was at Botcon this year they said they were going to be opening up Canada to Hasbro toy shop as soon as they could get around our import laws.

The real question should be, why does anyone have to submit their questions, why can't we simply ask them ourselves like every other normal Q&A panel.

I tell yeah, Transformerscon has been going down hill every year for the last several.

While I agree with the " why can't we ask in person" part of things, I have to disagree with it going downhill. I thought the last few years have been a great time, other then me getting in shit from Sony/Playstation Canada.

The guests have been top notch. The way things have been handled by that clown Colin are another thing....

Hasbro wants us to submit our questions early so they can pre-screen. They've tried other tactics in past years. Don't expect them to answer anything you really wanna know about: where are the G1 re-issues? why so many repaints / remolds? etc.

As for Transformerscon, I think they were getting better with each year.
