Will we ever see a Drift toy?

You just made me laugh so hard, I spit coffee all over my monitor!

Would Hasbro ever entertain the idea of a fan choice re-paint? Perhaps something along the lines of a pre-chosen list of repaints that could be voted online and then available online on HTS?

Should the HA line continue after Mudflap and into larger characters such as Ironhide and Optimus Prime, would they stay in same scale and have a new price point or would they be downsized to fit the current price for the line?

A: We're really happy with the interest generated in the Q&A program. We currently have no plans to stop tap-dancing around the issues in 2010, but keep watching the Hasbro.com website in case the situation should change.

…and the color switch also.

Hasbro,
Is there any particular reason that the Arcee that comes with Human Alliance Skids uses the Chromia screen model, while the Chromis that is coming with Human Alliance Mudflap uses the Arcee model? Was this a mistake or is there some logic behind it?

Hasbro,
I've read quite a few Q & A's and you almost never answer any of the questions that people really want answers for. Any plans to stop tap-dancing around the issues?

Why do some figures get repainted multiple times while others don't get repainted at all?
Hasbro released a two-pack Skids and Mudflap that could transform into an ice cream truck. The molds were larger than a Legends figure but not quite Scouts. Is releasing two figures for the cost of a single deluxe something that Hasbro would be interested in doing for further toys whether the toys could or could not combine in vehicle mode?
Although Hasbro has shown an interest of Transformers with beast modes in the past, the Revenge of the Fallen toyline has had just two characters with beast modes; Ravage and Scorponok. Is there a reason why Hasbro has not produced another (off-screen) Transformer with a beast mode for ROTF?

If the Triceratops Dinobot formerly known as Slag is now called Snarl, then what is the Stegosaurus Dinobot formerly know as Snarl to be called?
Dinobot Snarl
Any premium lines being considered?
Will we see any upcoming G1 style headmasters?
Will we see any upcoming G1 combiners?
Will we see any Energon / Cybertron repaints in the near future?
Oh and whats going on with Drift? If you make him, give him the cloth cloak accessory :^)

Multi-part question here.
Hasbro, you addressed the connection between the 7 Primes in ROTF and the original 13 in a previous Q&A. Going off of that, whose idea was that? Did the film crew just decide to use 7 in the film and Hasbro decided to do some tweaking to the mythology make them consistent, or did Hasbro ask the film people to use seven in accordance to what was already solidified but not yet announced (keeping in mind that other versions of the story, as well as concept art showed that using twelve members in the dynasty was considered)? On a related note, did Nexus' Maximus' being renamed Nexus Prime cause any changes to the 13's story (i.e. the identities of the Seven Primes), or is this tale not yet solidified enough for this change to have affected anything?

and what are the chances that Buster Prime will see a US release?
Thanks

Hey Hasbro, can I have a sandwhich?
In all seriousness: Have you ever considered reissuing more recent lines as exclusives, either to a specific retailer or the Hasbro Toy shop, just as a way to give newer fans who are interested in older figures an alternative to eBay. Or as a second chance to those who missed out on the initial run. The original Classics and the 25th Anniversary Universe subline come to mind as examples. Thank you for your time.

Are there any plans to continue the Activator style toys into other lines?
Transformers 2010 is the name for G1 Season 3 in Japan, so will we see anything as a throwback to G1 Season 3 in 2010?
With the success of the Human Alliance style toys, are there any plans to use them in other toy lines?

Tell us more about this TF/hasbro themepark.
gates in 2011, universal studios singapore first them the US, is there any more to tell or is it still under wraps?
Bumblethumper
2011 will be the 25th anniversary of the original Transformers Movie. While TF3 will probably dominate the year, has there been any consideration given to marking this anniversary in some small way, possibly in the Masterpiece or Universe line?
(I throw this question/suggestion out now, while there's still time for things to get through development)

Dear Hasbro,
When will Leader Class Starscream come out?
When will the NEST figures and Voyager Midwipe, Recon Ironhide, and Bludgeon be out in the U.S.?
When will we get Flare Up?
