			#Considering how far the Transformers line has gone with the Legends concept, and their scale being so similar to Mini-cons, might it be possible to get the Mini-con 5mm holes with the pegs in the middle designed into the Legends figures so they can act as mini-cons as well? This would make the line more popular with collectors who would otherwise overlook this sub-line of little Transformers.
			#When deciding which classic Transformers characters are paid homage to or updated into a new line like Classics when there's no entertainment support directly bringing that character up, is there a specific protocol or guideline that is followed? For example, what would lead Hasbro to decide on a Classics update of Hot Rod/Rodimus over Soundwave? Are any G1 characters from the cartoon or comic that were never released as toys now off-limits? What brings Hasbro to decide which G1 characters get updated into new figures?
