Transformers references in other media

[miles_prower]

In the first season of the Australian tv show "Wanted", in one of the scenes in the background is a collection of Transformers, including Combiner Wars, Energon, Year of the Snake and Generations as well as several others.



On a side note, this is actually from my collection, my brother was part of the set design and asked to use my figures. Though I was only allowed to use Hasbro figures, no Takara Tomy or 3P. I gave roughly 100 figures of different series to let them use, and apparently people on the set wanted to buy them.

Is that this show?

If so, which episode?

Why was the display restricted to Hasbro only? I can understand not wanting to promote bootlegs and IP infringing products, but no Takara Tomy?

That is the show Griffin, sadly I haven't seen it so I can't say, but I know that it's season 1. I was rather surprised to see it wasn't posted in this thread yet.

High Q, it's about getting permission from companies to use certain products. A few companies had said no to including there products, but when the production asked Hasbro, they agreed. So I let them hire my Hasbro figures, and I do mean hire, I was compensated for them using them.

From what I've heard, the show is pretty decent and I still find it funny that people wanted to buy my figures when my brother brought them in. From what I was told, they wanted to create a "Nerds" bedroom for that scene.

Anyway had RID01 Prime and Magnus and of course i noticed that of all things, it's really the little things haha

That's very informative. Learn something new everyday.
