Officially can’t confirm or deny anything in production or not. Do appreciate the feedback and RID requests since the livestream, and in general love for generations other than G1. TFW2005 – Firetruck mention at last livestream (had to do it) – Firetruck was not specifically mentioning RID Prime or anyone else, just a general comment. Keep eye on sculpt for Crashbar, secrets in there. Not official canon, but internally they referred to them as the kids due to size. Cadets – just something Mark made up while talking about them where they are smaller, newer, less experienced. Wanted to keep colors the same, show they are part of the team. Pushed more towards the Junk and apocalyptic vehicle vibes of the day. Matt K – Crashbar – Development or personality info? – Marcelo Matere, Dan Khanna helped with conception. Earthspark and ROTB kids lines are same team, and this group can’t answer much about them. They will be watching what moves, how and when since this is all new with Studio Series.
AUTOBOT JAZZ BARCODE SERIES
Studio Series got helped by the delay a bit because it allowed in-movie items to be on shelf with movie. But that is why tapes are clear, due to Blaster’s window. It was same mold but there is some spray to change color or tint between pieces / figs. Soundwave is out of exclusivity now.Ĭhris – Are the tapes on their own mold or part of Blaster mold (re: Clear parts, window). Bumblebee they have to resign with Volkswagon to put that out again (which is not a major issue, VW is good partner). In recent times, Netflix etc – they do have an exclusivity window and have to respect that. Ryan – Any plans to address retail exclusives of core characters that are hard to get? – We are aware of the market. Russ – Weapon packs – Lots of potential plans, but brand and Hasbro are retail first, so difficult to justify it taking up a space in development if it will be Pulse only etc. The vehicle part swapping was the major hurdle but came out awesome Matt G – Evo Fusion (actually Junkion Tech) – Easier or harder since they break apart? Sam – Since they retain transformation AND break apart – much more difficult engineering wise. Got a lot better over time with aligning. Sometimes the extra piece is a weapon, or a faceplate. Protoman – how many heads pre-planned? Usually 1 extra planned. Takara is also involved, they’ll come back with suggestions based on initial ideas. Have a running list of characters and alt modes with notes on possibilities for alt versions later. – Many times it is planned, but with Metalhawk it was after the fact and just in time to go into production. Jeremy B – Metalhawk from Cyclonus – Was that planned at start of design or after the fact. Skyquake takes feedback from Bulkhead and Arcee Prime designs, was just in time before it was too late.Īnthony B – What Universes do you want to tap into that you haven’t? Evan – Energon, Mark – Machine Wars, Sam – Nothing off the table. A few months before release – then not too much, becomes more of “don’t do it again”. Working on shrinking that, changes depend on starting from scratch or not. Continuing a good partnership with Volvo, more uses are coming.Īnthony P – Two years – any way to fast track changes, or 2 years solid to change/fix something.
AUTOBOT JAZZ BARCODE MOVIE
Have relations with Volvo due to movie Devastator, so they took a page from the Star Wars team and did the Holiday Prime. Jack – Volvo Optimus – was that the original Amazon Prime? Can’t comment on products (or lack there of) that haven’t been released or announced. Each different project will pass data back and forth up front at different levels. Russ – Which comes first – toys or concept for the movie?. Movie actually referenced toy transformations of original toys to make models so the new toys happen to also reference those original transformations and have similarities. Was accurate to ILM (actually MPC) model at the time. Matt T – SS Airazor – similarity with Kingdom transformation, coincidence?. Same back and forth with head, so lots of difficult decisions with him. Blaster sculpt is so clean, would have to re-engineer significantly to get it in there.
Thought about the dual cassette, budget is always a concern. Rodimus Primal – Cassette Bots – completing the sets and thoughts on Soundblaster / Twincast having dual chest piece? Mark – love to complete mini teams, stay tuned. This is ALL PARAPHRASED, jotted down quickly during the event. ** Below are very short notes from the Transformers Brand Team roundtable today.
