Couldn't they do Run-a-bout instead or will that not get around the problem?

QUOTE(C16 @ Jan 27 2012, 03:46 PM)  Couldn't they do Run-a-bout instead or will that not get around the problem? Any new trademark would have delayed the toys. Any trademark that would require a check by Hasbro Legal (whether it was due to age or other reasons) would have delayed the toys. So to keep the toys on schedule, a name from the past couple years was reused. And this is of course just for the toy. Anything that has to do with the character in fiction will still call him "Runabout". -------------------- |

I prefer to use the name on the packaging in most cases and think of a reason why they would change their name in fiction when upgrading to their new form. Whether its by choice like Bumblebee to Goldbug or forced changed names like Octane to Tankor. Obviously I won't use names like Beast Changer. |
