Gotta wonder what Takara and Hasbro have planned for Crosshairs, Sureshot, Pointblank, Fangry, Squeezeplay, Terri-Bull, Go Shooter, Minerva, Hosehead, Siren, Nightbeat, Snapdragon, Apeface, and Scorponok (though I have little hope for Grand Maximus and Black Zarak considering no proper recolors have been done of any of the Titan Class figures yet).

That may have been the case for the others, but the Jumpstarters were Diaclone molds. They were the Baku-Ten Attack Robo toys.Kurona wrote:o.supreme wrote:ok, so this may not be the right place, and if someone could redirect me to the correct thread that would be great...but seeing the unused animation models for Topspin & Twintwist, I wonder if there has ever been a published reason why the Jumpstarters, Deluxe Insecticons, Roadbuster & Whirl never appeared in the animated series?
Licensing reasons. They were originally from a rival company to Takara so Takara didn't want those figures advertised in their own series. I don't think those figures even got sold in Japan...
Didn't stop the comics from having them, though. The UK comics. The UK, where these toys were never sold...
