MediaWiki participates in Hasbro's ongoing Question & Answer sessions. Our site will be allowed to submit two questions to Hasbro's Transformers team for answering. If you're a registered user at our site, please add your question below!
Some ground rules:
- Don't ask about hypothetical future product or if certain characters are going to come out in toyline X.
- Don't ask about financial numbers or corporate matters.
- Don't ask Hasbro why they suck so much to vindicate your personal grudge.
- Don't ask Hasbro to badmouth one of their licensees to vindicate your personal grudge.
But questions about current or past product are pretty great! Those kinds of answers will result in the best and most informative responses.
Each registered user can ask one question at this time. Please bullet and sign your question. The deadline for your questions is the evening of Sunday, September 12th, and answers will be sent back on (approximately) October 4th. If you're a registered member and for some reason you can't edit this page, ask your question on the discussion page, then I or Walky will move it here.
Thanks! --Monzo 10:51, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
September 2010 questions
- If Unicron's mission is to consume everything in the multiverse, why does he fire projectiles? Isn't that ultimately counterproductive? Doesn't he just have to go eat them up later? --ItsWalky 10:54, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- The ninth installment of the Cyber Missions web series depicts Smolder and Chopster of the Power Core Combiners line as residents of the live-action movie universe. Should we take this to apply to the other members of the Power Core Combiners line? --KilMichaelMcC 10:57, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- There are several enemies in the War for Cybertron DS game whose nature is left unclear by the limited nature of the DS's graphics. Are "Ground crawlers" and "Swarms" mechanical lifeforms native to Cybertron (like the Space slugs in the 360/PS3 game which the ground crawlers resemble) or are they organic lifeforms come to Cybertron from elsewhere. --ZacWilliam 11:33, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- How is Shattered Glass's evil Alpha Trion consistent with the revelation in Exodus's revelation that Trion is one of the original thirteen Primes and a multiversal singularity? Did Slaughter's sword actually corrupt him? Alientraveller 12:18, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- What advice would you give to fans who like to kitbash their Transformers toys? - Zadok Rox 14:11, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- How important is the notion that the original 13 Transformers are "multiversal singularities"? Is this concept still in effect or has it been abandoned? Will it ever be explained in mass-audience fiction (i.e. cartoons or theatrical films)? --Thylacine 2000 15:15, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- Who would win in a fight between Unicron and the Star Wars crossovers Darth Vader who turns into the Death Star? --abates 16:44, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

- Is Revenge of the Fallen Sideways the same character as Robots in Disguise Sideways or is he a different character altogether? If not, is the Target exclusive set, High-Speed Spy Battle just a reference to that Sideways?-ACIDSTORM92 18:10, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- Recently Alpha Trion has both been declared one of the Original Thirteen Transformers as well as having been introduced into the IDW comics as an important plot point to the overall story. Seeing as how another member of the Original Thirteen(Nexus Prime) was "taken away" from the Collector's Club as Hasbro is using the concept at the moment, will IDW be allowed to carry on with Alpha Trion's plot line or will that have to be dropped due to his new legendary status and use by Hasbro? Barricade64 21:56, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- What inspired the deco of the upcoming Fallen toy with the staff and removable mask? Antimatter 22:07, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- You have said that you are trying to find a way to release the remaining Animated figures in some way. Do you count the Takara releases or do you still wish to release the figure in the US?----Fredbob 22:27, 7 September 2010 (EDT)
- Several Transformers are known for their unusual and distinctive kibble, such as G1 Prowl's door wings and Animated Bulkhead's shoulder thingies. Are toys ever consciously engineered to have interesting kibble, or is such a thing just an added bonus? --Fortress Minimus 08:58, 8 September 2010 (EDT)
- Does the recent revelation that Soundwave's cassettes are Mini-Cons also apply to Blaster's cassettes? --Khajidha 09:42, 8 September 2010 (EDT)
- With the continued, if diminished, presence of Transformers: Animated figures on toy store shelves, is there any chance of a re-pressing of the Season 1 and 2 DVD sets for Transformers: Animated, if not a projected date for Season 3? Season 2 in particular seems to have become less readily available than DVDs from the Unicron Trilogy, which can still be found at regular retail.--Apcog 22:16, 8 September 2010 (EDT)
