Why is it that suddenly not hearing anything after the initial release and not seeing a prototype seems to equal cancelation recently? I mean, this kind of speculation has been going on for months with Animated Blitzwing and now we're going to start on Universe Sideswipe? Seriously people... have a little patience... if Hasbro doesn't show it off at Botcon than I might worry... but not much as these guys could be a bit of a way away still...

And a few SWTFs. | There was concept art for one last Botcon, and we were told that some of the molds for Universe were being picked for repaint possibility. Sideswipe was one of those. Prowl was another. It'll happen. Quote: |

Personally, I'm hoping that they then take Sideswipe and remold/repaint him as Red Alert (the only remolding needed would be to add a light bar). Hopefully that and both Prowl's obvious repaint/remold options are utilized. Quote:

Then there's the severe delay of Animated toys not coinciding with the cartoon it's concerning.
When dealing with Hasbro, both children and collector's need a bit more than a little patience.

A head remold to look a little closer to the cartoon would be the icing on the cake but not needed. It would be three releases of the mold to get in some more money, just like the Prowl mold would be. Quote:

Just sayin'. | Yes but we've known all along (or at least for a few months now) that Animated toys wouldnt be out until June and the Classics 2/Universe aren't due out until even later. To expect to see more than the first wave at this point is a little presumptuous, imo.
