	It's not actually a pack-in-flier ''per se'' but does anyone have any info on/remember the TF:TM mail-out flyer that went to people who'd ordered from Hasbro? I forget the EXACT details, but it was basically a big hype for the movie and the movie toys and maybe was the one with the Hot Rod go-kart? What was that one called, and do we have a page on it? (that one really fucked with my head as a kid because it said the Chosen Autobot Hero could be anyone... EVEN ME. Wowowowowow!) I would suggest it fits somewhat into the S.T.A.R.S. Flyer continuity.

			==Page title==
			On what basis did we decide that these things were called "pack-in flyers" instead of something else? And while I'm at it how did we decide to call the cross-sell inserts [[catalog]]s? To my knowledge these things don't have any well-established names, although I'd guess Hasbro has specific terminology for them that we may not be privy to. I'd like to see both articles either cite something sorta-offical to justify their titles, or be reworded to make it clear that they go by many names in the fandom and we just sort of picked one arbitrarily. --[[User:Steve-o\|Steve-o]] 02:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
