    1.) When can we expect Voyagers Bludgeon and Mindwipe? (these are amazing figs)
    2.) Will any of the SDCC upcoming figures have alternate heads?

    3.) Will there be another cartoon next year.

    4.) Will we be getting Buster Prime

    AWESOME YEAR HASBRO, thanks for sneaking in some collector favorites under the radar!

    1: Have you thought about including the "Humane Alliance" line in Universe or the next TV show's toylines?

    2: What about the "Activators" line from Transformers Animated, will that spread to another toyline?

    Can Universe 2.0/3.0 return sooner? And will we have more newer molds of TF characters from the G1, G2, BW?

    Fugitive Waspinator Has Purple Headlights?

    In Transformers: Animated, why was the Fugitive Waspinator action figure has purple headlights, and not the ordinary yellow headlights as the ones shown in the cartoon?

    - Will the next Transformers television series be shown on the planned Discovery Channel/Hasbro channel or will the next series be another collaboration with Cartoon Network?

    - Concerning G1 reissues, if the line turns out not to be viable in retail stores, would it be possible to offer a reissue line for sale through either HasbroToyShop.com or the Official TF Collector's Club?

    At botcon two highly popular character were exclusives namely Kup & Scourge. Can we expect these along with other popular characters to emerge during Universe 3.0?

    Why are there so often discrepancies between paint color and plastic color? i.e. Movie Ratchet's doors versus the rest of the vehicle, or RotF Swerve's trunk, etc.

    2. Are any more of the movie seekers planned for toy releases (ie The Ford T and other ones mentioned)
    3. Will G2 Jhiaxus ever get a toy?

    Hasbro has stated in the past that Galvatron was originally slated to be a voyager, but was changed to a deluxe because,
    "there were already too many tanks at the voyager size"
    or something like that.
    If that is the case, why is Bludgeon voyager size?
    Are there any plans to make a more size/sculpt accurate Galvatron?

    yes, I know,

    Will there ever be a red release of Voyager Ironhide? Why has it been so long or why not?

    Will Hasbro be releasing any Prime figure with no faceplate?

    It seems like a lot more of the repainted figures for ROTF are coming with new head sculpts compared to the repaints from the first movie that were just straight-forward repaints. Any particular reason why that is? More money to spend?

    I'm interested in the Human Alliance & Leader class lines.
    Will there be more HA after Mudflap & Barricade? Would love to see an Ironhide & maybe an Optimus Prime since Leader Optimus is not to scale with the HA line in vehicle form.
    Will Leader class Starscream be much bigger than Optimus Prime in alt mode (again scale!!).

    Hello Hasbro.

    I'm writing this question regarding more "in-movie" character figures. At Comic-Con, you revealed many new ROTF main line figures, but virtually none were actually characters who appeared in the film.
    Are there any plans for main line figures of characters who actually appeared in the film?
    Even though they never had robot modes, many fans (including myself) are wondering as to wether or not the remaining Constructicons will get main line figures (Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower and Overload)?

    Was there little control over what would appear in the movie?
    How did Hasbro feel about these unnecessary scenes?
