The Geek Bits Name: Starscream Toyline: Transformers Subline: Burger King Flip-Out Released: June 2011 Availability: Burger King Price: $1.00 – approx. $4.00 (depends on if you get the meal or can purchase the toy separately) Includes: Starscream, instructions, K-Mart coupon.

Upon arrival, I joined my comrades of the Rebel Legion, 501st Legion, and the Superhero Costuming Forum (of which I am a member of all three) in the back room at Neptune Comics, where we suited up

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! For about five years, over the course of the Unicron Trilogy, it seemed like Hasbro was taking a relatively passive role when it came to the creation of tie-in media, or at least willing to let other companies like Takara (now Tomy) write the cartoon and then Hasbro would adapt it for the North American audiences. Then, during the creation of the Movie franchise and Transformers: Animated, Hasbro has been taking a very active, prominent role in the creation of tie-in media. Over
