40th Line?

[primenova]

Do you think in 10 years time Hasbro should do a line like they have sort off done for 30th - but without having Metroplex released under 4 different numbers & to have 40 different toys.

I think it would be good if each toy was based on each year - so what would your first 30 toys be? You can't do the year 31-40 toys unless someone has seen the new toy range for 2015. But it'll be based on the new cartoon series unless they are not releasing that until 2016.

Each years toy could feature a gimmick from each year - so more ball joint for G2/BW.

I hope in 10 years time Hasbro will be selling Transformers via Hasbro 3D printers. You buy the printer and download the TF design to print (for a fee). Then you buy the powder. They could issue a better printer once every few years; meanwhile people would just be printing Transformers.

Of course - the printer itself would have to transform into a base or something...

Or you got the printer to print a transforming printer.

Year one 1984 - Transforming Ravage who goes from tape that fits in MP Soundwave but transforms from tape to jaguar to Ravage robot. Ravage just needs to stand up in beast mode & have 2nd set of arms.

The one thing I never liked about PM Prime was the cab having the 2nd set of windows. In this release it would use the RM Prime transformation with the cab swinging round & the legs folding down that way.
