Titan Wars doesn't solely pertain to Titan class. Titan Wars Blaster is said be either a Voyager or a Leader. Titan Wars refers to characters being giant robots interacting with smaller components via things like base modes and Headmaster gimmicks.

I've never heard that before! are you receiving privileged information or something?

Probably Leader! as Blaster turns into some sort of battle platform or Battlestation! The same way Powermaster Prime's trailer did! or even TF Armada Prime's!

Heres another question. With Rewind being revealed, I am wondering what will happen to your TFSS rewind toy. We will now have 3 classics rewind toys (FOC, TFSS and Titans Return), so how do you distribute them around your collections? And does the reveal of rewind give you some buyer's remorse over the subscription service? Do you mind that a figure you spent that extra money on gets replaced by something else? And does this indicate that the TFSS model may not be optimal to collectors if Hasbro eventually releases what you want anyway(like a possible Chromedome for Titans Return)?

Its really all just one question about your feelings on expensive figures getting replaced by mainline figures and if the business model should change.

I say something in the latest episode of the show about not answering questions in here - but do want to point out that this kind of post is still entirely cool :)

Thank you for answering the question about decos, here is another:

What are some examples of it being really worth the extra fees to get the Takara version over Hasbro's? Doesnt just have to be about the deco.

Since no-one seems to be asking any questions concerning the 2017 titan class figure vote on Facebook, I'll just ask them myself. Since I didn't vote in time (I wanted to vote Omega Supreme because of his rivalry with Devastator,) I want to ask, which did you guys vote for, Omega Supreme, Trypticon, or Scorpinok? :???:

I have a question regarding the legal writing on the back of Transformers. This is what is found in the back of the Platinum Dinos (with G1 heads):

Image

2 things I want to point out:

Why does it say that it's manufactured under license from TOMY? Doesnt Hasbro own the Transformers license, along with the molds and the names of the individual Dinobots?

Secondly, why is the biggest legal address the one for Hasbro Canada and not the one for Hasbro USA (which is in smaller print)?

Its always the biggest adress, even on items that never made it to canada:

Image

My question for both is simply, why?

Just in case you haven't, check out the latest episode. It answers this question without specifically being introduced as a listener question ;)

william-james88 wrote:Why does it say that it's manufactured under license from TOMY? Doesnt Hasbro own the Transformers license, along with the molds and the names of the individual Dinobots?
Legal speak that we can't pretend to know, and would probably not be entertaining to discuss (Sorry!) Likely, this is just a result of the factories doing the manufacturing being contracted by Takara Tomy.

william-james88 wrote:Secondly, why is the biggest legal address the one for Hasbro Canada and not the one for Hasbro USA (which is in smaller print)?
Hasbro legal might know. We won't. Apologies again.

With Hasbro back in the business of reissuing G1 toys (and some doing pretty well like the Intel Ops set which is sold out at US's exclusive distributor Target), what would you wish they get down to reissuing in these coming years?

Did it do well? I've never seen it in a store. I find it had to believe it sold very well priced at $100. And it's still available online, and probably the only place it has been made available. What's my question again? Oh yeah, did it actually do well?

Target (the exclusive retailer for this set) only sold it online (from what I can tell) and it is now sold out on their site: http://www.target.com/p/transformers-pr ... =preceptor

Interesting. If they're a hot commodity at $100, I'll sell my reissues of those two for that.

On your CW Devastator, do you have the tampographed Decepticon symbol on his knee upside down or upright? Which do you preffer? Would you have preffered it being upright when rotated to lock in the leg or would you have preferred it blank like the UW version?

Do you consider the alt modes of the season 3 bots (Blurr, Arcee, Kup, ect) to be futuristic earth or cybertronian? Do you make a distinction between a toy with a futuristic earth alt mode vs a cybertronian alt mode? Could you give some examples to help differentiate.

Example: Animated Rodimus vs G1 Rodimus vs Classics Rodimus, are the alt modes cybertronian, or futuristic ?

Since I don’t have a full CW gestalt yet, I only thought it’d be appropriate to ask: Which four deluxes from Combiner Wars are the best? I want to maybe get Cyclonus and slap some random and good limbs on him. Dragstrip is the only CW figure owned by me currently.

Thinking of the IDW transformers comics series. Do you think there will be a point in the story continuity, where the transformers galactic civil war ends. I don't mean where we are now with insurgencies, but a point where there is finality in the war. I can see this leading to more interesting stories about cybertronian society and the post war afterglow. Or alternatively, do you believe, or would you prefer, that the writers continue the Cybertronain civil war in perpetuity.

Have you ever found a character/mold that you didn't like

but with a little repainting/slight remold work it could have been great?

Do you believe Hasbro always inended on eventually releasing Quicklisnger and Brakeneck or do you think they only did so after the fan outrage from realizing Takara was giving us the proper G1 teams?
