Questions for Hasbro Transformers Brand Team

[Kaon]

Allspark.com and the other TF sites are going to be in a roundtable meeting this Friday with the Hasbro brand team to discuss PulseCon reveals and the new Transformers Legacy Line. What questions would you guys like for us to ask them during the meeting?

Please keep in mind not everyone's question will be asked during the event.

You can also ask your questions in our "Questions for Hasbro" channel on the discord server.

[Undead Scottsman]

Same question as last time; are there going to be any more fan votes (outside of the Hall of Fame), and any chance for a new community designed character?

 

[Robin]

Are series besides G1, like Prime or Beast Wars ever going to get specialised moulds of their toy only characters aswell instead of just only having the characters that were in the show’s?

 

[SG_Roadbuster]

did Star Saber do well enough to make you consider adding more Japanese g1 characters to the Generations Roster in the near future?

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Is there a reason Core Class characters can't get online bios?

 

[Onyx]

Will Generation Select / Studio Series still be putting out supplemental repaints / characters that didn't make it into the Legacy line?

 

[Superomegaprime]

Will the Armada prime that was shown back with Star Convoy prototrype, is it ever going to see the light of day as a full blown toy?

 

[Octavius Prime]

Will the Armada prime that was shown back with Star Convoy prototrype, is it ever going to see the light of day as a full blown toy?

Yes, this I want to know

 

[Octavius Prime]

Should we expect another smaller-scale Haslab Transformers project?

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Is there a reason Core Class characters can't get online bios?

Or better yet: Why wasn't Legacy wave 1 Core shown to begin with?

 

[The Phazer]

Is there any hope that the line will move to higher price points in exchange for undoing recent cost cutting (thinner plastic walls, more hollowness, MABS plastic etc)?

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Here's 1:

With the Generations line expanding in Legacy to include more characters from non-G1 sources is it possible we might get Generations Style versions of robots from more recent more kid-aimed lines, a lot of fans would love Generations versions of Rescue Bot characters and I'd love a RiD Strongarm or a Cyberverse Wildwheel in Generations for example?

 

[Powered Convoy]

What is the reason for not using the Volkswagen Bumblebee mold for Bugbite? Does the license only allow it to be used with Bumblebee or is there some other reason?

With several uses of the Cliffjumper / Bumblebee mold, what are the chances of releasing Glyph and Tapout?

 

[SG_Roadbuster]

Are these questions going to the design team or the marketing people? Cuz i have a question for marketing:

Its been pretty much proven impossible to keep figure leaks from happening, so why keep silent on the official front for so long afterwards? If a factory sample leaks, what's stopping you from just putting some stock photos on Twitter/Instagram and telling us when a preorder will be ready to go?

 

[The Phazer]

Is there a reason Core Class characters can't get online bios?

Even better, could we get some bios for the characters in Kingdom who didn't get them (mainly the Fossilisers).

Another one from me - international distribution has been failing even worse than normal recently. How are fans expected to keep up with the line when the likes of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee four pack are not even offered to international retailers?

 

[Superomegaprime]

Should we expect another smaller-scale Haslab Transformers project?

Maybe when they filled the orders for Victory Saber they'll consider another project but who it is, we'll have to wait and see!

 

[Glitch]

2022/23 is the twentieth anniversary of Armada will this be reflected in Legacy?

 

[Badgertron]

1. Is it possible to use Studio Series 86 molds in Selects?

2. How does the Brand Team view European-originating characters such as Thunderclash & Skyquake as fitting in within the G1 continity? Do you consider them G1, G2 or something else?

 

[Notomus]

When will we get Studio Series Devcon.

 

[Exatron]

Some recent Generations figures have featured alternate head tooling with different faces or heads that are still applicable to the original figure. For example, the WfC seekers, Beast Wars figures with mutant heads, etc. While it's possible for a good customizer to swap these heads around and make them match, is there any chance these alternate heads could be included as an accessory in the future for the rest of us who would like to use the alternate head on the original figure?
