We've passed on 5 of your burning Transformers questions! So check out the latest scoop we've got for you this bi-monthly Q&A session with Hasbro.


Cool Toy Review: Thank you so much for making a Targetmaster figure! It's so great to see such a feature return. Can we hope to see a Headmaster and/or Powermaster appear this year as well? It would be awesome to see Chromedome or Hardhead, or Dreadwind and Darkwing with their actual Powermaster/combiner functions.

Hasbro: Glad you guys liked the Targetmaster we did. We've always been a big fan of Targetmasters and how they tie back in with the larger scale robots/vehicles. The team is working on some really great stuff moving forward for 2010. Overall, we think Targetmasters fans will be very happy with what we have in store for them in the future. Headmasters and/or Powermasters, as of right now, are not being worked on in any form. That's not to say we wouldn't ever redeco a guy and pay homage to the Headmaster version of him if it made sense.

Cool Toy Review: Having had the original, I must say that the 25th Anniversary version update of Hot Shot is a HUGE improvement over its predecessor. You had already said during the convention season that the cumbersome spring-loaded Minicon action feature would be removed from this version, but will the rear axle of the car still be able to transform in some way to Hot Shot's cannon?

Hasbro: No, in the original design for Universe Hot Shot, he had twin projectile launchers, one on each arm. And the launchers fired projectile missiles that were sculpted to look like they were on fire. We wanted Hot Shot to be all about flames and fire in Universe. We eliminated the launchers and kept Jolt because we thought he was more fun and would enhance the play more than two flame throwers. Jolt will still fit onto the back of Hot Shot's vehicle mode as he is supposed to, but as for a rear axle becoming a cannon for Hot Shot sadly that's a no.

Cool Toy Review: When can we expect an animated Omega Supreme as a supreme class figure?

Hasbro: Omega Supreme is a fantastic character from TF Animated! We are quite happy that you guys like him so much! There are no current plans for him, but if we were ever to make him, we'd like him to be accurate to his scale in the series when compared to the other characters.
