1. Whats with the Hold Up on the Animated Constructicons?
2. Can you give a Hint on the New Animated Characters coming out?
3. Will Universe Jazz, Tracks be comming out?
4. Wheres Animated Omega?
5. Will we see a Universe Sunstorm?
6. Are you still holding to what you said that every Animated character will get a Toy?

 

When will the Botcon date be announced?
What other G1 and Beast Wars Characters are being made into Animated characters
Will we see new animated characters next year?

 

Will masterpiece Grimlock see a stateside release?

 

will the animated blackarachnia toy get a repaint?
will there be any fembots in the universe line?
will we get the new thrust & dirge in the u.s.?

 

This.

 

If we don't get these molds as Thrust and Dirge, is there a chance we'll see them as different characters with new color schemes?

 

I'll second that question about where the heck are the Animated Constructicons? Every other prominent season two character besides Omega Supreme has been seen already, but no news on Scrapper and Mix.

And secondly, one that likely won't be chosen, but has nonetheless been bugging me for awhile now: What's up with the random day glo orange on Universe Galvatron and Silverbolt? The color sticks out like a sore thumb from the rest of the figures' paint and I'm curious why such a clashing color was used.

And thirdly, given the large amount of abuse the Classics Seeker mold has been getting and the fact that we're already seeing some degeneration problems on Henkei Thundercracker, are any steps being taken to keep this mold viable (especially in light of the demand for more figures based off of it)?

 

1. Will Tracks, Jazz, Trailbreaker, Jazz, and Red Alert be coming out for Universe ever?
2. Will the Movie figures be better scaled this time, mostly Ironhide and Ratchet?
3. When are we to get the Animated Constructicons?
4. Whats up with the new smaller deluxe animated Bumblebee, possible Cybertron Mode?

 

1. Is there any chance of a Cybertron Primus toy being released in the Universe line to go along with Unicron?

2. Will we see a Universe Scourge toy to go along with Galvatron and Cyclonus?

3. We need more Decepticon love in the Universe line. Any chance we'll at least see a Shockwave toy?

4. Since Eric Siebenaler told us there was a chance every character will be redecoed in the Animated line, does this mean we can see a G1 inspired colorscheme for Prowl?

5. Are you going to redeco the other Classics seekers that were avaliable at normal retail with more G1 inspired colorschemes?

 

Are there any plans to release the Mickey Mouse Transformer in the US? If so, would he be in the Optimus Prime color scheme or something closer to Mickey's standard colors?

 

Will Hasbro be releasing Masterpiece Skywarp/Thundercracker?

 

Do Hasbro have any plans regarding MP Grimlock?

 

1: Since the current Voyager Animated Lugnut is small like Bulkhead, will he to be seeing a Leader Class release?
2: Are there any plans for more Animated cybertronian modes?
3: Are there going to be any new mold Universe Voyagers?
4: Is there going to be a Universe Classics Red Alert?
5: With a smaller Bumblebee coming along, does this mean that the "Scout" class is being introduced into the Animated line?

 

1. Will MP Grimlock be released in the US?
2. If so, will it be a store exclusive?
3. If so, what store?
4. With Takara continuing to release G1 figures via the Encore line, any chance we could see the return of G1 figures to store shelves in the US?
5. You guys rule!

 

1. When and what will the 25th Megatron be announced?
2. How long is the Classics 2.0 line going to be around?
3. Are you going to be selling Masterpiece Grimlock in the us?
4. Any plans for Action Masters characters in the Universe line?
5. Any plans for Autobot/ decepticon bases (fortress maximus, scorponok)

 

How many 2009 waves of Deluxes and Ultras will we see in Universe before we switch over to movie product?

Will their be any more new mold Voyagers in Universe besides Inferno?

When will we get to see the mold for Drift?

 

1. Could we see a re-deco of Cybertron Unicron added to the Universe 2.0 line, to represent Bludgeon?

2. Could we see a re-paint of the Hound and Ravage set from Universe 2.0 which would represent Swindle and Howlback?

3. Could it be possible to arrange a partnership with Max Factory - the producers of the highly-articulated Figma range of miniatures, a line similar to the Revoltech series produced by Kaiyodo - which would allow for Hasbro/TakaraTomy to release the Cybertronic form of certain Pretenders (such as Metalhawk) as Universe 2.0/Henkei figures, and MF the armoured human shells (such as when Metalhawk is in his Hawk persona) as action figures?

4. Could there be a set of deluxe-sized Universe 2.0 representations of the G1 Predacons (perhaps with a voyager-class Razorclaw) which could be merged into Predaking?

5. Could there be a re-deco of Energon Scorponok in G1 Scorponok colours for Universe 2.0 - and might there be the scope to replace the current head with a Lord Zarak Headmaster?

 

There's will make new classic mold? see below
1- Classic Voyage Galvatron and Scourge? classic galvatron is small, need big
2- Classic Swoop, Sludge, Slag, and Snarl? with along Grimlock
3- Classic Shockwave and Soundwave? there's already made ravage
4- Classic Jazz and Wheeljack?
5- there's will re-release Cybertron Galvatron and Energon black Unicron? there's already re-released Galaxy Force Optimus Prime with Crumplezone

 

Instead of the rejected new mold for Bludgeon, would there be any chance of seeing a repaint of Cybertron Unicron?
