Hasbro: A great question! With thousands of great characters to choose from every year, we review which figures we have released in previous years along with those characters that we feel are the next deserving characters to be reimagined. We discuss each of these options as a team until we reach a consensus on how we would like to proceed.

Part of this process also includes discussing what characters can then be released using previous or some of the newmolds as repaints. Ultimately, our guide in this decision making process is to make sure that we are consistent and true to a character's essence and not force fitting it into an inappropriate mold.

The purpose of the Crossovers line is to transfer the Transformers play pattern into the Star Wars universe by leveraging the iconic Star Wars characters, thus the reason why these figures convert into some of the classic Star Wars characters. Additionally, these are both two separate properties, each with their own history and lore that we do not want to mix together.

Every year we review which figures have been released in previous years along with those characters that we feel are the next characters that deserve to be reimagined. We try to go along the order of figures that have played important roles not only in the animation, but all forms of our entertainment (comic books, novels, etc.) The great part about our team is that not one specific person is responsible for coming up with ideas. We really try to work through this as a team, discussing the pluses and minuses for each of these options as a team until we reach an overall consensus the team feels comfortable with developing.

We are dedicated to being to be the best resource for all your Transformers news and reviews every day. Keep your browser dialed to Tformers.com for updates as they happen.
