AFP Hasbro Transformers Q&A for 11/2/10

The Hasbro Transformers team is back with the latest Q&A. Thanks guys!

1) What are Hasbro’s plans on continuing Power-Core Combiners past the currently announced waves? (See our reviews of Searchlight and Skyburst and the Aerialbots.)

Currently the plan is to continue the Power-Core Combiners line up until the release of the Movie 3 line with new teams and figures.

2) Are there any plans to release the remaining Animated figures shown at previous Botcons, such as Hydrodrive Bumblebee and Voyager Thundercracker, in the US?

Unfortunately, we do not have any plans to release these figures in the near future.

Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers – October Press Pics

No new G.I. Joes images from Hasbro in the press pics they sent over for October, but we do have Marvel, Star Wars and Transformers – 50 images in total.

The Marvel team supplied new images from Super Hero Squad and Marvel Universe 2-packs exclusive to Target. I think the MU 2-packs have already come and gone from Target shelves, at least around me. I never saw the new Punisher on shelves, and Hasbro didn’t include a shot of that 2-pack either.
