	#After 25 years of Transformers figures, many are surprised (and a bit disappointed) that the Supreme Class ~~Devestator~~'s gestalt parts have no individual robot modes, and are only able to transform into the vehicles and the respective parts needed to create the combined form. Was there anything in particular that kept Devastator from being engineered like his predecessors before him?		#After 25 years of Transformers figures, many are surprised (and a bit disappointed) that the Supreme Class Devastator's gestalt parts have no individual robot modes, and are only able to transform into the vehicles and the respective parts needed to create the combined form. Was there anything in particular that kept Devastator from being engineered like his predecessors before him?
	#Before facts were cemented about the Devastator figure, a lot of people were speculating what the hooks are for on the back of the voyager class Demolisher figure, helping to fuel the early impressions that the deluxe and voyager class versions would combine to create the final form. Now that it's not the case, what exactly are they for then???		#Before facts were cemented about the Devastator figure, a lot of people were speculating what the hooks are for on the back of the voyager class Demolisher figure, helping to fuel the early impressions that the deluxe and voyager class versions would combine to create the final form. Now that it's not the case, what exactly are they for then???
	#The days following the last Q&A found many TF fans reeling at the sudden cancellation notices posted by e-tailers for future Animated figures. While the fate of Soundwave(blaster) and Arcee have been somewhat addressed by the TF Club and early reports at the very least confirm some kind of ~~existance~~ of new figures like flashback Ratchet and Blackout, there hasn't seemed to be any indicator as to what the fate of Hydro Jet Bumblebee will be. It was the first of the new figures to be shown off, and even had some e-tailers list it for pre-order. With the status of the other figures, will we still be seeing this new Bumblebee figure released alongside the Grimlock repaint it was shown off with?		#The days following the last Q&A found many TF fans reeling at the sudden cancellation notices posted by e-tailers for future Animated figures.

	# In the last few years, a cottage industry has cropped up around Transformers collecting that lets consumers upgrade their TFs.
