    If there is a "Universe 3.0" will we see larger size toys. Perhaps a leader class Fortress Maximus, Trypticon, Omega Supreme, etc.?

    Yes! I'm still hoping for Classics Combiners or the above. A classics Metroplex or Scorponok would be awesome. Cybertron/Energon versions of those characters weren't that great.

    1.) Any plans for third ROTF deluxe motorcicle? I like them complete.
    2.) What about other constructicons figurers? Like Scavenger, Overload and Hight Tower, any plans for them? I like them compete.
    3.) Any plans for more Human Alliance figures? They are really cool. Like Jolt + Lennox or Sideways + Alice.
    4.) I like hear some info about new cartoon :) .

    When we consider the sheer volume of Transformers packaging/materials/cardboard we've all contributed to landfills, it's frightening. Has any serious consideration been given to the possibility of making BAGGED Transformer or GIJoe toys available for purchase (similar to Botcon toys) through an online source like HasbroToyShop? If I simply had the option at checkout to select an "unpackaged" version, it's something I would definitely do.

    Can we look forward to an Energon Devastator gift set ala the Target Exclusive ROTF Bruticus and Superion? If so will it be G1 colored like the oh so hard to find Walmart version?

    Here are my questions that I am wondering about:

    #1.) Regarding Batteries since they can corrode due to time which is worrisome for those who keep them MISB and risk corrosion. Is there a way that future toys can have the batteries somewhere else in the box or a way to access them easily while in the box (Flap for example)?

    #2.) Since I am a Megatron fan, I am wondering this question...which one(s) are favorite Megatron-based Toys of the Hasbro Team (from G1 to ROTF)?

    #3.) I am wondering, What repaints are more fun to do, The Decepticon-based repaints (like ROTF Thrust) or The Autobot-Based Repaint(s) (like ROTF Swerve)?

    #4.) Is it a lot of fun working there for the Hasbro Team in regards to Transformers?

    I'll answer this one. Hooray for marketing knowledge.

    The idea of having a toy with batteries is that there's a way for the child to interact with said-toy on the shelf, thus increasing their "OMG I WANT THIS" experience and hopefully talk gullable mommy into buying it.

    Thus, toys that have batteries in them, will always have a hole in the package so that someone can push a button to make them light up or make noise. It's a selling-point. So if the toy is made to feature electronics, you better believe they're going to make sure those batteries are in the toy and that the packaging allows for kids to push buttons.

    Maybe for BotCon exclusive toys they may do that, but I doubt you'll see it happen for anything mainline.

    When will Universe classics 3.0 come out?
    Any plans for universe classics Wheeljack, Jazz, Soundwave, Blaster (Soundwave with new head, guns and color), Frenzy, Eject (Frenzy with new head, guns and color)?
    will the new cartoon continue the G1/Beast Wars timeline? Maybe even make use of the toys in Universe/Classics line and extend it with more figures and size classes for each character?

    I prefer the toys that they package with a "rip cord" of plastic that allow the batteries to remain disconnected until it is removed. With luck you can find an intact one for MISB display.
