	#It’s great to see obscure characters from the early Transformers media get official identities, like Acid Storm. Are there official identities for the other “[[Rainmaker]]s” seen alongside him in the cartoon episode ~~“Divide~~ and ~~Conquer”~~? (Some fans claim that [[Sunstorm_(G1)\|Sunstorm]]) is the yellow one, but the blue guy definitely has no name.)		#It’s great to see obscure characters from the early Transformers media get official identities, like Acid Storm.

	#Now that BotCon 2010 is over, you are probably going to get lots of questions about the new product that was shown and/or talked about at the various panels. We want to ask you something different. How was YOUR BotCon experience? What were you most excited to reveal, what do you think go tthe best reaction, what was the biggest surprise, how does it feel to be treated like rock stars? We know that sometimes this can feel like just a job to you guys, so hopefully seeing the excitement from the fans at BotCon makes it all worth it, and we hope you had a great time!		#Now that BotCon 2010 is over, you are probably going to get lots of questions about the new product that was shown and/or talked about at the various panels.

	#Jazz’s Hall of Fame nomination profile mentions that he was Orion Pax’s best friend. Orion Pax has only ever had one best friend, and that was Dion, a character from the G1 cartoon episode ~~“War~~ Dawn,” who gets shot alongside Orion Pax and Ariel, who (obviously) became Optimus Prime and Elita-One. Some people have taken this new piece of information to indicate Dion was rebuilt into Jazz, which is a departure from some fans’ assumption that Dion gets rebuilt into Ironhide or Ultra Magnus. So what is Hasbro’s stance now? Does Dion get rebuilt into Jazz? Ultra Magnus? Ironhide? Or does he just die?		#Jazz’s Hall of Fame nomination profile mentions that he was Orion Pax’s best friend.

	#After what some fans have dubbed ~~“Thundergate”~~ – the 2007 Botcon boxed set that had the very limited, oft-requested Classics versions of Seekers Dirge, Thrust, and Thundercracker – we’ve finally started to move past the pain with the non-exclusive, mass-retail releases and planned releases for Thrust and now Dirge. With those two and Starscream, Skywarp, and Ramjet already produced in mass-release lines, that leaves just Thundercracker to complete the main Seekers. Will you be releasing a Classics mold of Thundercracker to mass-retail? Not Action Master or Shattered Glass or some other background Seeker instead, but regular Thundercracker?		#After what some fans have dubbed "Thundergate" – the 2007 Botcon boxed set that had the very limited, oft-requested Classics versions of Seekers Dirge, Thrust, and Thundercracker – we’ve finally started to move past the pain with the non-exclusive, mass-retail releases and planned releases for Thrust and now Dirge.
