    Will either the new voyager or leader class starscream figures see repaints in the line? I'm not too keen on getting both and having the same color scheme.

    Question number 2 may be better directed towards the people who made the movie itself, but is there any reason that Hightower was designed for the movie without a robot mode and does that affect his chances of getting a mainline toy apart from the legends figure? What about Scrapper and Overload?

    Are there any HA figures in the pipeline after Mudflap?

    1- Is Universe Classics allready being planned (Sketches, ideas,...)
    2- Is Soundwave, Wheeljack, shockwave reflector, rumble(and all his recolors/remolds) some of the names on the top of the list for the Universe line?
    3- Are there any plans for a new cartoon (maybe with Beast Wars kind of plots) to continue the movie hype?

    In the case of flareup , now first of all will she have her own mold considering that people seem to prefer her design over chromia and arcee? If she doesn't recieve her own mold will she atleast be remolded so she will have her wheel hand and straighter spine? And most importantly, in both cases, will she be an mv agusta f4 like she is in the movie?

    Would there be a side-series or a toy of Transformers with alt. modes of WWII vehicles like tanks, planes, cars, and armored vehicles?

    1. Will Scrapper from ROTF get a toy?
    2. We know Don Figueroa has had some of his designs made in toys, particularly from The War Within comics, but what about designs by E.J. Su or Nick Roche? Are there legal requirements regarding IDW's redesigns of Hasbro characters? If not, then these could be used as designs for the next wave of Classics/Universe.
    3. Additionally, with the increased worldwide popularity of G.I. Joe due to the film, would it be financially viable to do a crossover toy line, with Transformers characters turning into G.I. Joe vehicles? Figueroa has already designed some of these figures.

    I'd like this too, since it was a G.I. Joe crossover. :D  But I'm sorry if I already have too many questions, I'd expand this to wondering if Hasbro would do historical Transformers toy lines, like the Hearts of Steel series.

    Also, would Hasbro release more Animated figures under the Universe toy line?

    1. I would like to know if you guys have been in talks with Takara about bringing figures from some of the Transformer Series that only aired over in Japan for Example Star Saber or Liokaiser from G1 as reissues? (even though they were never released here in the first place)

    2. Is there a set date for the new crop of Animated figures to hit shelves?

    3. Is there any information on Classics 3.0?

    1: Is there a planned definite release date for the "leftover" Animated toys (Rodimus, Arcee, Blackout, etc.) yet?

    2: You have said that Universe is planned to continue from 2010 Autumn. Is there any chance the (very successfull) Robot Heroes line would continue with its G1/BW/BM/RID incarnations as well? Is there hope to see the actually made but cancelled Prowl vs. Laserbeak and Super Optimus Prime vs. Dessaras packs?

    3: The large sized Robot Heroes toys (The Fallen, Demolishor, Devastator) in giftsets are a big success. Any plans on giving us G1-style large Robot Heroes (Unicron and Devastator were mentioned in last years Botcon) in 2010?

    4: As you did with 2007's Movie Game characters (Longarm, Payload, Swindle), are there plans to make toys for some of the ROTF game characters (Seekers, Protectobots, Combaticons)?

    5: Many people would like to have all the ROTF Constructicons in individual toys, the demand for these would be high. Any plans to release Overload, Scrapper and Hightower in Deluxe/Voyager format?

    6: At Comic-Con, you have said Masterpiece Grimlock will see an US release. Could you drop any hints which accessories he'd come with? (To be more specific: would he have his crown?)

    1. Will any other Construticons get Voyager or Deluxe size like Scrapper, Overload and Hightower?

    2. If you decide to bring Universe/Classics back could you make new molds for Beast Machines, the toys were not screen accurate at all.

    3. Can we get a ROTF Legends Ravage? considering the Deluxe is out of scale to the others.

    4. Is it possible the new Transformers series could be more like GI Joe Resolute, for a little more of a adult fan base like Transformers the War Within in CGI or something?

    5. Any way we can get another city former or a reissue like FORT MAX?

    1. Will figures be made for the remaining Constructicons - Scrapper, Overload and Hightower?

    2. Although Hightower has no official robot mode, why can't one be created for him like the deluxe Scorponok toy?

    3. What is the future of the Robot Replicas line? Are there more figures planned for that series, or is it the end already ?

    Can we get a re-release or new mold in the universe line for Optmus primal,Optimus prime and Megatron characters ? I think everyline deserves the leader of the autobots and the leader of the decepticons.

    3. Are there any plans to continue the Human Alliance class in later toylines?

    4. Can we expect more G1 reissues after Perceptor and the Insecticons?
