A TRU version of Astrotrain was supposed to be released at one point ... but since the G1 sale started, rumors completely grinded to a hault.

Even Sideswipe, part of the Skids release, was never shipped to the US. Everybody thought this line was dead ... and the 50% off sales pretty much sealed it.

But one question always remained ... why is Ricochet never on sale? Now I see why. TRU/Hasbro are going to give it one more shot. I'm assuming the TFC (takara) over productions will be the 1st to make it back.

I'd bet the farm we'll see these 1st:
Astrotrain
Sideswipe
Blitzwing

maybe ... dare I say it ... Galvatron?
