While I don't disagree in theory, the Universe line came about due to a demand from retailers for more Transformers product. Hasbro didn't have enough new product at the time during Armada/Energon to meet that demand, so they had no choice but to turn to redecoing reissues of preexisting molds.Alpha Weltall wrote:So in short, bring back the Universe line and don't limit yourself to just G1 reissues.

We've had Blaster reissued in the U.S. TWICE now in the past decade. We don't need a third. It's easy to find him if you want him, honestly, and he even comes with three of his cassettes.
Its the same for Skywarp.

Like make him a functional radio again? I'd buy that for sure.

Now that, that would be the way to do it. Hmmm, man, that's how you make that worth while.

How about Blaster standalone with his cassettes in 2-packs like they're doing with Soundwave?

yeah i would like a new blaster since i missed out on the last couple reissues also i already have all three reissued seekers and i really want those cassettes so a bundled deal would be most exellent
looks like blaster already won

Ooop, you're right yup, looks like Warp lost out. Ah well. You know though you all are proposing ways of making a Blaster reissue way more appealing. I think I lack faith in Wal-Mart of doing anything cool like that though.

Pretty sure it will be a standalone blaster since the idea is to replicate their g1 releases (obviously not to a T). Casette 2 packs make sense.

This. The G1 Optimus Prime trailer. By itself.
…for 50$US or 70$CAN!
