    2. Will any of the other female animated characters receive toys? i.e. Sari, Red Alert, Strika, the Female seeker, and Elita.

    3. Will any animated deluxe characters appear in the universe line?

    4. Have any animated toys been cancelled that we have not already seen? If so who? And why?

    I've heard rumors that the Universe/Classics line may not resurface after the Movie line, is this true? Can you speak to any upcoming lines with G-1 focus?

    Regarding Masterpiece Transformers-- what's your relationship with Takara, and what determines whether Hasbro will carry a particular Masterpiece?

    1.Will there be a Classics 2.0 Omega Supreme (repaint from Energon) with new head sculpt (G1 style)?
    2. Any Deluxe Sunstorm in the future for Classics 2.0?
    3. Plans for a Animated Ramjet? Since the eps. "Decepticon air", people will want it!
    4. When is Animated Arcee coming out?
    5. Will there be more Legends minibots when Universe , such as Powerglide and Bugbite?
    6. Will there be a more accurate Blaster (not the device label) in the making, Animated or Classics 2.0? You could repaint Ravage(classics) and turn it into Tigatron or something.
    7. Any plans for an ElitaOne figure made out of Cybertron Thunderblasy, like the botcon comic ?[​IMG]

    They answered this question two or three times in the previous Q&A. They padded it a bit, but their answers boiled down to "because it wouldn't have been feasible".

    What other plans do you have to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Transformers brand aside from what we've already gotten?

    What are the future plans for the Classics/Universe line? Will we at least have each of the original, classic characters that we've not seen yet (Jazz, Wheeljack, etc.)?

    [Along with the previous question:] It's already been said that you plan to cover all generations with the 25th celebration. Are there any plans to nod to the Alternators line? What about at least one more nod to the Beast Machines line? - the RiD line?

    Regarding the Alternators line, what molds are still available to use in correlation with available car manufacturers' licenses? Do you have any plans to use these molds in the near future?

    Is the new "Human Alliance" sub-line a sort of replacement for Alternators? What else can we expect to see from this sub-line?

    Do you have any plans to bring Masterpiece Grimlock to US retail stores? If so, what are they?

    Here, I'll simply echo all of the sentiment/inquiries regarding Animated and its toys. :) 

    Thanks again for all that you do, guys :thumb

    Are there any plans to make another TV show after Revenge of the Fallen has died down a bit; possibly mid to late 2010?

    - All three of the individual RotF Constructicons known so far at the Voyager and Deluxe size classes have been rather "flexible"; Demolishor can be manipulated in a number of ways, Rampage has a 'jackhammer' mode and Mixmaster has a 'cannon' mode. Are these extra modes and flexibilities the remnants of an attempt to make the individual Constructicons combine into Devastator? If yes, how far into the toy development process was the combination dropped as unfeasible?

    - For the first Transformers Movie, in 2007, the "Preview Wave" Deluxes were released approximately one month prior to the official street date of the other movie toys. For RotF, the "Preview Wave" Deluxes are not being released until May 15, approximately 2 weeks before the official street date of the other movie toys. Why was the time between the release of Preview Wave and the release of the other toys shorted for RotF?

    - Multi-part question: Recently, there has been the announcement/rumor that Hasbro and Discovery Channel would be teaming up to start a new kids channel based around Hasbro brands. Can we expect the Transformers cartoon series to find a home on this new channel? If so, will it merely be for reruns of the older Transformers series, or will this channel be used for new/original Transformers cartoons? Does this channel mark the end of Hasbro's partnership with Cartoon Network on future Transformers cartoon series?

    - How does Hasbro view custom fan-produced upgrade kits (City Commander Armor, Shadow Commander Armor, etc) and add-ons (Another War God Sword, Aerial Team Appendages, etc) for Transformers figures? Particularly with FansProject apparently moving into producing full, transforming figures that are based heavily on Transformers characters, is Hasbro largely accepting of these projects or might they be vulnerable to legal action in the future?

    Is it possible to release all of the current tf to the public instead of having exclusives that some can't afford or are never release to the US?
    Why do other companies come out with awesome add ons that Hasbro doesn't seem to consider....like PRIME"S TRAILER!!!

    I have some questions I would like to pose:

    1 - Will we have a Devastator action figure with alternative robot and combined modes, even if they are from the Legends series?

    2 - The cancellation of the Animated series has generated some debate here. Is there any chance that the series will be back on with new episodes in the future?

    3 - Will we have all Constructicons as action figures (as others have questioned)?

    4 - Is the Universe Line going to be finished in 2009 or will there be new additions?

    5 - If it doesn't get finished this year, when will it be finished?

    6 - Is there any chance that GoolFire Grimlock and Hydrodive Bumblebee will ever be released?

    Scantron's questions FTW. I'd love to see answers to all those things.

    Other than those, all I want to know is "Will there be more Animated?" and "Are we getting toys X, Y, and Z?" And I know they won't answer those.



    EDIT: And FWIW, X = Botanica, Y = Animated Omega Supreme, and Z = Titanium Cosmos. :p

    Was releasing a ROTF Deavastor pack without robot modes, and indiviual CC's without been able to form into Devastator, Hasbro's easy way of making more money?
