    I gotta ask for some kind of proof that you're not just making up wild rumors based on your own speculation.

    Or not. I imagine if Haslab is going this deep now, the company won't allow any zeta interpretation of Unicron, under any new 3rd party name, in the future. Kill it now, bury it, don't let any weeds grow to fuck things up. Put a warning out there to the 3rd parties...

    Proof? In a discussion thread for toys? Not sure that exists.

    Thank you!

    Yes, please, some kind of proof. People either tip-toe around with polite "grains of salt" comments or outright completely believe what this guy says, but there is no proof to anything. They just come across as "personal fantasy" to me, grounded in just enough plausibility that if things turn out that way the guy can go "See, told you!!" and if they don't he can go "My 'friend' got it wrong".

    Yeah, it’s all of this, “I have secret inside info” crap that raised people’s expectations to unrealistic levels, and then got them mad at Zeta when reality didn’t mesh with what they expected. Whether he’s doing it to be optimistic or to be a big shot on a message board, it’s not appreciated. Speculate all you want, just don’t claim you have access to an Oracle.

    I’m not asking anyone to believe any of this. I just wanted to share what I was told. If you look at what I previous posted a couple of days ago some of what he said about Hasbro going after Zeta has come to pass. I can’t give any proof and yes I know the burden of proof lies on me. Hence, just take it as the rumor it is.

    So you are really blaming the stuff I shared for Hasbro fighting back against Zeta?? I have no desire to be a “big shot” on a message board-is that a real thing?
    Again, simply take it for the rumor it is. When he updates me again in a few weeks I will post a disclaimer at the top.

    You ARE asking us to believe all this. The minute you say, "I have a secret friend who knows all this..." You are promoting whatever you say as the truth.

    Nothing has "come to pass." You just guessed, like a bunch of other people did. Sometimes, when you guess, you might get something right. You also made a bunch of claims about Hasbro having over 8,000 pre-orders and wanting 10,000. I call BS on you for claiming that.

    If you're promoting truth, you OWE us a source. Otherwise you're just bullshitting.

    ok..... I have to post this in here as well. This has been posted in the zeta thread but its relevant here...

    Before everyone goes bananas we have to remember they have stepped in before this when FT Grimlock showed up. They ended up I think delaying it a bit and asked them to change the dino head so it didn't mess with their MP-08. Hasbro won't stop this from being released, but at most they might ask for a delay or a tiny change to him. No need to freak out and call Hasbro the worst company ever or assume they canceled it. We should have expected this from the get-go given the timing.


    (If people keep freaking out expect to see me quote this message in the future)

    The first several times i shared what he told me I gave a full disclaimer to take it as you may. There’s no rule that I can’t share something like this. I’m not giving proof and outing my friend and risking him getting in some type of trouble with his job. Sorry.

    You also completely changed your post while I was replying.

    and no, there are no big shots on message boards because nobody cares.

    If it's a rumor, then QUIT CLAIMING YOU HAVE AN INSIDE SOURCE. You claim to be "reporting," when you just make up "rumors"

    Other forums I’ve been on have had rules where someone claiming inside knowledge had to verify it in private with a mod before posting publicly.

    Then every time you post "My friend told me" we'll just remind people that there's a good chance you're making it all up.

    I changed one spelling error. I didn’t change my entire post. I haven’t made anything up. You can choose to ignore me if you like.
