Web site Q & A for the week of May 17th Q: I've read various reports (backed up by photos) saying that the new HIGH WIRE figure is virtually unpainted from the torso up. Will this be changed in future production?
A: The deco of HIGH WIRE will not be changed going forward as a result of production material limitations.
Q: Does Hasbro have plans to release SOUNDWAVE, SKIDS, the mini-bots collection, ASTROTRAIN and TARGETMASTER HOTROD, which were all released in Japan?
A: We are still in the process of solidifying our plans to release G1 characters. AUTOBOT SKIDS will be available at Toys R Us this summer and we will continue to post updates on new character releases.
Q: So far, the only TRANSFORMERS ALTERNATORS on store shelves are SMOKESCREEN and SIDE SWIPE, but you have released information on SILVERSTREAK, AUTOBOT HOUND, AUTOBOT TRACKS, DEAD END, and MEISTER. Do you plan on releasing more than 2 at a time in the future and release items more frequently?
A: The above items in the ALTERNATORS line will be available this summer and Fall. We do plan to continue releasing new Alternators cars consistently throughout the year.
