	*When the [[Constructicon (ROTF)\|Constructicons]] formed Devastator in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the film showed two unnamed construction vehicles helping to form Devastator that aren't seen anywhere else. There's a [[Unknown Constructicon dump truck\|yellow dump truck]] that's not the same kind of dump truck that Long Haul is, and there's a [[Unknown Constructicon shovel\|tiny treaded shovel]] that forms Devastator's left hand. Do you guys have names for these two Constructicons? If not, could you make some up for us right now? --[[User:ItsWalky\|ItsWalky]] 00:27, 24 November 2009 (EST)		*When the [[Constructicon (ROTF)\|Constructicons]] formed Devastator in ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\| Revenge of the Fallen]]'', the film showed two unnamed construction vehicles helping to form Devastator that aren't seen anywhere else.

	* It's understood that Hasbro now owns the intellectual property related to the Tonka GoBots - Is it possible that the GoBots stories could one day be retroactively integrated into TF continuity, much as M.A.S.K. was retroactively inserted into GIJoe's via the Matt Trakker figure?

	:* If we are going to ask this, may I suggest changing it to "the '''core''' intellectual property"? IIRC from our previous discussion of copyright notices on in-era GoBots products and media, we concluded that Hasbro likely inherited everything from Kenner '''but''' the the cartoon, and I'd hate to see that legal sticking point get in the way of receiving a useful answer. -[[User:Derik\|Derik]] 16:00, 24 November 2009 (EST)		:* If we are going to ask this, may I suggest changing it to "the '''core''' intellectual property"?

	*We know that due to changes in toy safety laws, we're never getting a realistic hand-gun Megatron ever again. We've heard that the "spark-shooting" action found on some G1 toys is a similar situation. Can you confirm that the spark-shooting feature is no longer a possibility? Are there any other "classic" gimmicks we're unlikely to see in the future because of legal/safety concerns? --[[User:Bluestreak7\|Bluestreak7]] 13:33, 24 November 2009 (EST)		*We know that due to changes in toy safety laws, we're never getting a realistic hand-gun Megatron ever again.

	* A [[Hasbro Q&A/October 2009: Answers\|previous Hasbro Q&A]] established that, despite some color confusion with the toys, [[Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Rampage (ROTF)\|Rampage]] was the '''red''' bulldozer in the film.

	*The company which syndicated the original Transformers cartoon, [[Claster Television\|Claster]], was a Hasbro subsidiary that has since been merged into Hasbro's media division. Since their records would now be completely in-house at Hasbro, would it be possible to get a list of the TV stations that broadcasted the [[The Transformers (cartoon)\|original Transformers cartoon]]?

	:* If we are going to ask this, may I suggest changing it to "the '''core''' intellectual property"? IIRC from our previous discussion of copyright notices on in-era GoBots products and media, we concluded that Hasbro likely inherited everything from Kenner '''but''' the the cartoon, and I'd hate to see that legal sticking point get in the way of receiving a useful answer. -[[User:Derik\|Derik]] 16:00, 24 November 2009 (EST)		:* If we are going to ask this, may I suggest changing it to "the '''core''' intellectual property"?

	*We know that due to changes in toy safety laws, we're never getting a realistic hand-gun Megatron ever again. We've heard that the "spark-shooting" action found on some G1 toys is a similar situation. Can you confirm that the spark-shooting feature is no longer a possibility? Are there any other "classic" gimmicks we're unlikely to see in the future because of legal/safety concerns? --[[User:Bluestreak7\|Bluestreak7]] 13:33, 24 November 2009 (EST)		*We know that due to changes in toy safety laws, we're never getting a realistic hand-gun Megatron ever again.

	*Given Hasbro's recent efforts to re-acquire the rights to many of their classic cartoon properties, is there a chance any of those cartoons will see air on the forthcoming Hasbro/Discovery Joint Venture Network?
