OmegaPrime: /* My Transformers Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime is busted */

''Wingblade Optimus Prime is a retool of Deluxe The Battle Begins Two-pack Optimus Prime in much the same style as Hydrodive Bumblebee and Samurai Prowl. ''
:I don't actually believe this is correct - if I recall the BotCon panel correctly, Hasbro's Wingblade Prime was straight-up the ''Battle Begins'' figure with snap-on armor, with Eric assuring us he had worked out (with the Takara guys) a way for the armor to work on both the deluxe and the Voyager figures (which is why, I assume, Takara is now using it with the Voyager). Should this be changed? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 08:28, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
::Wasn't there, couldn't tell ya. The deluxe is at least redecoed, though, isn't it? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 08:34, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
:::It was definitely sans battle damage. I'm not sure about any other deco changes offhand. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 08:35, 19 July 2010 (EDT)
::::The "retool same as Hydrodrive Bumblebee" is SUPER wrong since that's an entirely new mold! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 08:50, 19 July 2010 (EDT)

== Happy Meals toy ==

Where is the McDonald's Happy Meal toy? [[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] 22:18, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
*No, wait. Never mind, I found it. Why is it in merchandise though?[[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] 22:21, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
::I think a better question would be "why aren't Happy Meal premiums ALWAYS in merchandise"? --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:48, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
:::Yeah. Happy Meal toys should be under Merch, I think. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 11:14, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
::::But they transform. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 11:23, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::So do Kabaya kits, and they are merchandise (at least on the page I checked). --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 11:38, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::I think the original post asking for "Happy Meal TOY" might be hint for where these things belong. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 12:04, 28 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::::But many things listed as "Merchandise" on this wiki are "toys" in the general, non-wiki sense. RPMs and ZipZaps for example. Also, movie Optimus' Burger King premiums are listed as Merchandise. This has been [[Talk: Toy|discussed before]]. If toy is meant in the real world sense, then there's a lot of things that need to be moved. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 07:40, 29 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::::Well, then should we move ALL the TF McDonald's toys in existence be listed in merchandise? Might as well. [[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] 22:37, 29 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::But kids' meal toys are toys, even in the wiki sense. They are a toy representation of the character, even if they are simplistic. [[Manta Ray (BW)]] would be very disappointed if <s>his</s> her toy was moved to "merchandise". - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:51, 29 August 2010 (EDT) Edit [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 22:52, 29 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::::::I never even thought of Happy Meal Toys as toys in a real world sense, they are marketing devices distributed in a non-standard manner.--[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 06:31, 30 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::::::Yeah, I've not really thought about it before, but I guess I've always mentally lumped them under "merchandise". At the same time, though, it ''does'' seem wrong to me for Manta Ray's to not be under "toy"... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]]
::::::::Hmm. Here's a thought... why not separate them out? Put a section called "Fast Food Premiums" (which is what such items in general tend to be called) between Toys and Merchandise for all relevant characters, and move the entries there. The only potential conflict I can think of, if we consider fast food items neither toys nor merchandise, is whether the first-series BW guys would stay in the "toy-only characters" category. They ARE the only original-character fast food exclusives, at least, which is sort of staggering considering [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|how many there's been]]. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:25, 31 August 2010 (EDT)

== Japanese exclusives ==

[[BigBadToyStore]] mentions [http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS19417&mode=retail Black Convoy] and [http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK11160&mode=retail]. This page mentions neither. Is Black Convoy a separate character? Looks like the toy has an Autobot symbol. [[User:Item42|Item42]] 14:07, 3 September 2010 (EDT)

== Voyager "versus" pack ==

Anyone care to add a note re: the Japanese "versus" [http://higekumatoytoy.blog60.fc2.com/blog-entry-644.html two-pack of Voyager Optimus Prime and Voyager Cybertron Megatron], since you seem to cover packaging/bundling variations?
