Ahhh... yeah, I see. I'm operating off of the older information, which he brings up.

Quote:

This comes directly from the license itself. The license is for the Machine Robo Revenge of Chronos Anime. As the anime is based off the original toy line, as is Gobots, you will find a certain amount of crossover. These figures are being done specific under the Anime license at this time. I did mention a while back on a TFW thread that they were based off the toy license but unfortunately I was miss-informed at that time. Since then I have dived deeper into the actual license and can assure you, it is for the anime and not for the toys.

I am, however, hopeful, with another part of that quote above: "These figures are being done specific under the Anime license at this time." Hopefully, that might mean that good sales would allow them to expand to non-anime figures based on other toys, assumedly done in the same aesthetic/engineering style of the anime figures.

Also, the dodgy not-answer here gives me some hope as well:

The big question everyone seems to be asking is about Porsche robo. As the Machine Robo version was white, if it is produced, will there be a black version to keep Crasher fans happy?


Porsche Porsche Porsche………….hmmmmmmmm.

I mean, the fact that they're even going back and doing some of these characters is friggin' mind-blowing for me (I love TFs, but I grew up on GoBots, and those toys will always have a special place in my heart), so I won't complain all that much about their character choices.

Anyway, thanks for the link there, clears up a lot.
