Send an email to Hasbro UK. You never know! EDIT: Though the UK release will have the bio cut to fit the multilingual packaging. -Ralph |

I doubt Hasbro UK would be capable of understanding what was going on. They might think they were being threatened with legal action for theft of jam. But I'd be happy to pass on any comments to the design team at Botcon. Andy |

Aside from the odd fan getting a "sector" named after them in Beast Wars, I think your contribution will be the only one talked about by our grand-children.

Yeah but Hasbro kinda rewrote the personality of one of there major characters to bring it in line with your nut job take on the character.
Check out the evolution.
Armada
Hot Shot is a young, heroic fighter who rushes into danger without regard to his own safety. He courageously charges into the middle of the fight to aid his friends in battle. He has taken charge in several battles, showing great leadership potential. But he needs the guidance of his elders before he can hope to lead the Autobots. Will he learn to be a leader who strives for good, or will his reckless nature ruin his promising future?
Energon
Hot Shot, once a stubborn and headstrong young fighter, is now a seasoned Autobot warrior. After fighting bravely in the Unicron battles, he has proven to be a skilled soldier with leadership potential. Hot Shot is one of the fastest Autobots, capable of great speed in both robot and vehicle modes. He is able to powerlinx with his good friend, Inferno, and is a force to be reckoned with during the battle for Energon.
Energon repaint
Energon Hot Shot's enhanced physical state has made him faster and tougher than ever. Before his physical upgrade, Hot Shot was dependent primarily on his speed and tactical abilities during battle. His energon-enhanced body has now given him the strength and endurance required when facing off against some of Megatron's larger warriors such as Scorponok and Demolishor. In addition to being one of Optimus Prime's most valuable soldiers, Energon Hot Shot continues to be a positive role model to younger Autobot rookies such as Ironhide and Rodimus.
Cybertron
A natural leader with a lot yet to learn, Hot Shot often races straight into danger at top speed. He takes great pride in the fact that he's the fastest Autobot there is, but it isn't until he gets to the Speed Planet that he learns the true meaning of velocity. Faced by the almost unbeatable Override, Hot Shot needs to learn a whole new way of thinking about acceleration before he can win the Great Race.
Cybertron Defence Force
Hot Shot isn't psyched to give up his modified racer mode and the speed that went with it, but in the service of Cybertron, any sacrifice is worthwhile to him. his adventures on the Speed Planet taught him that speed is'nt everything- true victory can only be won through the combination of wits, reflexes and when it comes doewn to it, the right weaponry. His new, heavily armed modes pack enough firepower to keep most enemies at bay, but if they get close enough, Hot Shot is more than happy to show them the sword fighting techniques he learned from Brakedown back on the Speed Planet
And then Universe
Impatient, impulsive, and actually sometimes kind of annoying, Hot Shot is young, but full of potential. Optimus Prime sees in him the qualities of a great leader, and has taken it upon himself to mentor the young warrior in the ways of command. His mini-con partner Jolt tries his best to keep his erratic behavior under control, but Hot Shot is quite skilled in ignoring the voice or reason. He's also obsessed with something called JAAM, which most autobots think is some obscure fuel source, but no one knows for sure .

Hi guy's, I bought SE-02 Universe off Ebay, it was all sealed but missing the part that forms the claw in robot mode/the top of the turret in tank mode:  How it should be:  Now the trouble is, I don't want to send it all the way back to Hong Kong where the Ebay trader is as I'm in the UK. If I contact Hasbro UK, will they be willing to help even though they don't sell this version here? Or am I best off just going to Toys R Us and spending a tenner on the green version just for that bit? |

Ugh!
Hasbro UK don't have anything to do with these guys at all, they pretty much just import stuff from Hasbro US. It might be worth contacting /them/ about it, who knows

Yeah I guess there is no harm trying. I wouldn't mind so much the but part with the normal version that is on sale here is green. I guess I might just have to send him back.

IIRC that version is not officially on sale in the UK so I doubt Hasbro UK will be able to help, alas.

Well I managed to pick up the last Classics version of Megatron today in Toys R Us, so I've sprayed the claw black and I was also missing the end of the gun:  So now I'll just contact Hasbro UK and say that I was missing them on the Classics version instead |

I'm worried 'bout Classics Uni Ratchet
He's on his merry way from BBTS as we speak.
Nervous.
What If he's a disapointing as Ironhide?
I'm banking on the mold suiting Ratchet better.
Oh boy oh boy. Very worrying this is.
