October Hasbro Q&A answers!!!

[Ultra Magnus]

1) <submitted by Deszaras> As there has been speculation on the cancellation of ROTF wave 5 voyager figures in the European market, will the later waves also be subject to such a cancellation and will the wave 5 voyagers class figures be released eventually in the European market?

Hasbro:Unfortunately, there currently are no plans to release these figures in
the European market in the immediate future. However, we will certainly
do our best to find an opportunity to release them within Europe.

2) <submitted by Rattrap> When are we going to start seeing the previously promised new Transformers Animated toys on the shelf?

Hasbro: As we have stated in previous forums, while we have full intentions of releasing those final Animated characters in the near future. However, unlike past forums where we did not have any plans to share, we are excited to announce that we will be releasing Animated Deluxe Cybertronian Ratchet and Arcee in Spring 2010.

3) <submitted by F18Starscream> Will you be making any more Gestalt/combiner teams in the future?

Hasbro: We certainly appreciate the fan support for all iterations of the combiners that we have produced over the years and certainly understand that Combiners play within the lore. While we do not have any immediate plans at this time to re-release any of the Gestalt Combiner teams, we certainly are exploring what the next iteration of Combiners and combination play can be. Needless to say, stay tuned!!


This certainly was a fruitful round for TFL. Even though the last one did not get a confirmation of new product, it does say that they are hearing us. As for the first one, it lets them know your voices are out there, and they need to get on the ball (it also confirms the story previously printed at other sites). Though it is bad news, they are aware of the issue, and are working on a fix.



That being said, we have another round approaching, and your questions will once again be needed. So, keep your eyes open mid-November for your chance to let Hasbro know what is on your mind!!!

Great questions, crew, and I'm glad to see they mostly got answered this round, even though the answer to Desz' question is a disappointing one.

And Europe gets screwed again by hasbro. Go figure

Guess I'll just have to import the last few ROTF figures I want to get.

Now if only I had the patience to wait that long!

Well I was hoping to read that we will see some Gestalts/combiners but it will not happen. At least I tried.
