• Soundblaster redeco.
• Blue Rumble and Ravage Legends data disc!
• Frenzy and Ratbat!
• SDCC:
• SDCC Bruticus is the more game-colored set.
• Box art for SDCC set awesome! Wanted an epic looking package for SDCC Bruticus. Larger outside piece is a book, inside is package. One of the most complex boxes they've done.
• SDCC Rust in Piece Transformers Prime (First Edition) Cliffjumper. Added more paint plus a piece of Dark Energon and a snap-on chest piece of flowing Dark Energon. Considered a zombie in stasis canister. A bunch of stuffs.
• Final package is a giant zombie Cliff jumper head in clear purple, but painted red. Every single one is hand painted. The purple glowing through is awesome! Comes in a larger box, if you put head on top of the box, it becomes his torso.
• Q&A:
• With Movie 3 so popular, why were the toys cancelled? Just couldn't get them out, working on it.
• Retail Bruticus? Yes, but in different colors.
• Weapons and gimmicks? Transformations alone don't do it. Try to tell a story with the features.
• Masterpiece Optimus Prime stacks? Long!
• Reissue Jetfire? No, it's Bandai.
• Transformers Prime Breakdown toy? We like Breakdown. You like Breakdown.
• Original 13? Need to expand through novels and Transformers Prime so they're less niche before making toys.
• Case assortments? A challenge, because Hasbro has to try to anticipate what sells at what pace and revising waves in the future. Challenge trying to align with demand and readjust through the year.
• Universal Studio exclusives? For now, probably at locations with the ride, but maybe elsewhere.
• Generations? Starting with FoC and Classic G1, then perhaps characters from the novels, maybe IDW.
• Scout Frenzy/Rumble? Have the mold, but no plans.
• FoC Dinobots? Can't deny Grimlock will be awesome in the game.
• All five? That'll be harder.
• Masterpiece Optimus Prime availability? TRU exclusive.
• Army builders through the Club? Do not know why it has to be just the Club.
• Arcee and Springer? Don't want to confuse people with Prime Arcee and Springer who are very much on the short list.
• Prime Ironhide in show? Some characters aren't in show, but will be in other media.
• Unreleased Animated? Despite best efforts, unlikely, though we have the toolings.
• Classics Devastator planned? No, if Bruticus does well, lots of combiners they'd like to do.
• More stuff like Classics Overkill and Drag Strip? Redecos are still hard to plan.
