The name or term "Joe" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Joe (disambiguation).
DON'T TOUCH MY ICE CREAM SWERRRRRRRRRRVE :/

Joe "Big Daddy" Kyde (born 1980) was an Associate Product Designer for Hasbro, which meant for a while he was in charge of store-exclusive product for the G.I. Joe and Transformers brands. He had previously done color layouts for many Transformers toys.

Joe is notorious, even legendary for his tall tales and stone-faced blarney. Joe's acidic wit and elastic sense of "truth" have led to Joe being banned from testifying in any and all civil cases in the United States, Canada, and the People's Republic of Haiti. It has been speculated by family and friends that Joe may actually have a form of Münchausen Syndrome.

Joe is an avid train spotter, and can identify over one hundred makes and models of locomotive by sound alone. Ironically, Joe has never traveled by train, and considers all forms of mass transit too dangerous.

Currently, he's moved on to actual Transformers toy design, and is currently the lead designer of the Generations toyline! Countdown to a Swerve toy in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!

SAGE2764

Starting in March 2006, a user going by the handle "SAGE2764" posted various tidbits of inside information, including leaked images of various sorts, to the Hong Kong discussion group talk.transformers, from where they were spread to other parts of the fandom. Those included:

The one that stands out among these is the M1 Abrams Megatron color guide, a toy that was never released... and never intended for release to begin with. At BotCon 2006, Hasbro representatives stated that it was a "fanmade experiment by one of their friends outside the company" who "wanted to see what would happen in the fan community if he tried to make it look like Hasbro's color guides".[9] It was later revealed that the whole thing was actually intended for Joe Kyde's senior capstone project to "disseminate hoax information", conducted with Hasbro's approval. It's unclear whether "SAGE2764" was actually Kyde himself or just someone acting on his behalf. Kyde only ambiguously commented on that question by stating that he knew "how to get stuff out there". He would later homage "SAGE2764" by using the name for Movie Deluxe Class Recon Barricade's license plate, and again with Revenge of the Fallen Decepticon Bludgeon from the "Master of Metallikato" two-pack, who sported "KN-2764" tampographs.

Notes

  • Kyde decoed every version of the Transformers movie Voyager Starscream mold except the Toshiba-exclusive "Vardia Red" version.
