Q: Could we see High Moon video game figures in Studio Series?
A: Anything’s possible.
Q: Likewise, could we see Studio Series expand to include things like off-screen movie toyline characters, TV show characters or comic characters?
A: Same – anything’s possible.
Q: Are any generations off limits for Legacy?
A: No, no limits.
Q: So, will we see Animated?
A: Yes! Evan said he saw the rumors about Animated not being available for use, but those rumors are incorrect. They have all rights to all Transformers characters.
Q: Anything on a new Transformers PC/console game (or Activision re-releases)?
A: Can’t comment on new game releases, don’t know anything.
Q: How has Cybertron Metroplex sold so far?
A: Metroplex did well, just don’t have exact numbers at the moment.
Q: Do they intend to continue Titans?
A: Yes, plan is to keep them going.
Q: Any chance of a new Tidal Wave?
A: They hear the fans, they KNOW.
Q: What led to the more open fan interaction via Instagram accounts?
A: Mark pushed for the Instagram initiative.
Q: And are they happy with the experience so far?
A: Yes, really happy with it.
Q: Are they open to redos of Studio Series characters that have already been done?
A: He personally would like redos, but not certain as of right now if it’ll actually happen.
Q: Is Cyberverse a possibility for Legacy?
A: Yes.
Q: Do they have any plans for Cyber Planet keys?
A: May release the keys as a weapons pack.
Q: How about Minicons?
A: Once they move more fully into Armada, Minicons are indeed something they’ll have to think about.
Q: Additional allotments of Velocitron Cosmos?
A: Walmart can run more if they want more. For Pulse, what they had is what they had.
Q: Could we see G1-ified versions of the new Dinobots like Scorn?
A: For a G1 Scorn, would prefer that in Studio Series somehow.
Q: Next Haslab?
A: The next TF Haslab is being worked on, but can’t give any dates/details.
Q: How about Shattered Glass Haslabs, like Unicron or Victory Saber?
A: IF they wanted to move in that direction, they would probably have to test the waters with something like Shattered Glass Titans first (Omega Supreme was
mentioned).
Q: A new Cybertron Optimus Prime and Wing Saber?
A: Thinks it’s totally doable to have Wing Saber attach as a backpack to Siege Cybertron Optimus Prime.
Q: More Cybertron Titans?
A: Anything’s possible, but daunting since that’s a lot of Titans. Jokes about Cybertron Titans being the Titans for the next 5 years or so (Starscream, Primus, Quickmix, Menasor, etc).
Q: As you move further into Unicron Trilogy characters, could we see Powerlinx from Armada/Energon incorporated into their new Legacy figures?
A: Evan wants it to happen.
Q: What TF figure would you personally most like to make?
A: Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime.
Q: Possibility of the 13 Primes happening as figures?
A: Mark and Evan talk about doing them all the time, actually. If it happened, The Fallen would be a tank “as expected”.
Q: Could the Takara Armada OP happen as a Haslab?
A: Because it’s an Optimus, it hypothetically would never be a Haslab.
Q: Did the delay of ROTB cause any figures originally planned for 2023 to be shifted to later?
A: None that he can think of.
Q: Are they looking into other ways the Takara Armada OP could be released?
A: He would be mainline for sure if they did him.
Q: Would it be the same one we saw or an all-new one?
A: It’s possible it’d be based on the previous one, or it could be a new one, depends on how things work out.
Q: What weapons pack accessory would you want to happen?
A: Gut gun for Cheetor.
Q: How long will Legacy run for?
A: 3 years. As far as he knows, the current plan is for it to be a trilogy.
Q: Can we expect to keep seeing non-G1 stuff after that?
A: Yes.
Q: You said we’ll see Animated in Legacy, so what is the Animated character you’d most like to do?
A: Ratchet, Optimus, or Lockdown. Says Ratchet “needed to be done better”.
Q: Most wanted Beast Machines character?
A: Vehicons.
Q: If G1 Megatron was to be done in SS86, how would he be handled? Obviously he probably wouldn’t turn into the gun, so a tank?
A: More than likely a tank, yes.
Q: For Earthspark, could we see Voyagers/Leaders in addition to the Deluxes, or could we see Earthspark characters in Generations?
A: It’s possible, but sticking with Deluxe scale for now. Maybe later down the line.
Q: For Legacy Animated stuff, would they be in the original style or more G1-ified like the TFP toys?
A: The latter, however they have heard the stylization feedback about the TFP figures, so they are working on trying to find a better balance regarding G1-ification.
Q: Could we also see more accurate versions of them and the TFP characters in Studio Series though?
A: Entirely possible, they’re talking about expanding Studio Series beyond movies.
Q: What led to them expanding to more non-G1 stuff after the heavy G1 focus in Prime Wars and the first two chapters of WFC?
A: Designers wanted to bring in the characters, and characters that needed updates, and people were getting tired of the same ones.
Q: Will Legacy have any kind of story like WFC did? Shows, comics, etc?
A: Not to his knowledge.
Q: How about depicting a story through box art or back of the box? Like a connecting story across packaging.
A: Possible.
Q: Will Generations Selects be continuing?
A: Not going anywhere. Any rumors about it stopping are false.
Q: Most obscure character you’d like to bring in?
A: Velocity, Javelin, Camiens, Mistress of Flame.
Q: Is there a possibility of a “Haslab Lite” to introduce specific recolors/retools of the more obscure Transformers characters fans are hoping for at the standard mainline scales (Core/Deluxe/Voyager/Leader)? As in, smaller scale stuff, as opposed to the big “grand” items like Unicron/Victory Saber.
A: It’d probably just be Generations Selects or Pulse exclusives, but they would like to bring back Fan Votes.
