Q: I have been seeing pictures of a new AUTOBOT helicopter. Is this a new ENERGON version of SPRINGER? If not, what will its real name be?
A: This new AUTOBOT helicopter is BULKHEAD.
Q: There has been some discussion as to what happens to the prototypes/mockups after they are presented at Toy Fair and various other events that Hasbro attends. Are they put away for possible future use? Are they discarded? Do fans have the opportunity to acquire them?
A: Prototype toys are not made for prolonged play and have not passed safety requirements. Hasbro does not sell or store prototype toys for this reason. Prototype samples are created for production proofing, internal presentations or Toy Fair and are not cleared through Quality Assurance. Hasbro does not sell or give away prototypes at all. Any prototypes that fans may have seen for sale on websites have been obtained through unauthorized means.

We received our Pre-Reg pack yesterday. Must say it was very nice to have a map of the area and not just the normal information pack. More of the conventions should supply these, it is a vey good idea for people who have not been to the area before or who are coming from longer distances as they can see what other things there are to do and see whilst at the event. Nice Pre-REg cards too.
