US release

"Part of the fifth wave of Activators along with Cliffjumper, both bots saw regular release in European markets, but as of this writing(Apr-17-09), have received hardly any US release."
Are you sure? I live in Philadelphia and saw them at K-mart a few months back. I don't think my area would've been the only one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 98.235.18.165 (talkcontribs).

K-mart, huh? Well, you're probably one of the very very few who've ever seen any! I had to get mine shipped from New Zealand. --ItsWalky 21:12, 19 April 2009 (EDT)

I saw two of each at my Wal-Mart. --206.253.51.107 17:25, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

They are starting to hit the United States in number. --ItsWalky 17:58, 16 May 2009 (EDT)


The non-show character has a model sheet? --Thylacine 2000 13:47, 8 December 2009 (EST)

If it did, it would have been in the Almanac. --Jimsorenson 13:54, 8 December 2009 (EST)
If I recall, Hasbro/Cartoon Network did up all sorts of color schemes for those Starscream clones before settling on the ones they eventually used. That's where Dirge came from. --ItsWalky 14:15, 8 December 2009 (EST)
That is certainly possible. However, I have no direct evidence of it from their archives or from the personal files that Derrick has shared with me.--Jimsorenson 14:44, 8 December 2009 (EST)
Well, maybe I am a doofus. --ItsWalky 14:48, 8 December 2009 (EST)

someone says he saw recolored models of starscream into dirge and thrust, labeled envious starscream and gluttonous starscream. maybe derrick wyatt knows about them?

I believe they were done up by Derrick himself ... but not in an official capacity.--Jimsorenson 19:32, 4 January 2010 (EST)
Hm. Would it be any less official than this? --Detour 19:48, 4 January 2010 (EST)
On par with that, I'd say. --Jimsorenson 19:48, 4 January 2010 (EST)
So if Derrick's willing to share it, we could add it to the page in the trivia notes? --Detour 19:49, 4 January 2010 (EST)
That sounds about right. It's 'fanart' from a pro, and therefore reasonable trivia.--Jimsorenson 19:51, 4 January 2010 (EST)

Toy-only?

Given that Thrust (Animated) is categorized as "prose-only", having this guy categorized as "toy-only" seems contradictory, since they both appear in the same prose. If we had a "toy-and-prose-only" category, he'd be a shoo-in, but . . . Should we remove his "toy-only" category? JW 15:47, 28 July 2010 (EDT)
