The not appearing in Classics and Animated at the same time comment was just for Hasbro. Takara TOMY can do whatever they want to. I asked the same thing. For Hasbro it seems to only apply to the Classic 2.0 line which means Ratchet will be a Japanese only release I guess... as will Ironhide |

Except that Prowl has been released in both.
I think it a myth or just being ignored.

We have several of the same characters appearing in both toylines now. Grimlock,Prime,Bumblebee,Starscream,Ultra Magnus and now Ratchet. Grimlock, Prime, Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus won't be appearing in this new Universe line. The old line and Classics don't count towards this current line. Starscream I think they let slip because the Universe version is a Legend, and Prowl they said would be in both because one's a car and one's a motorcycle. Ratchet isn't on Hasbro's plans until well after the Animated toy has been phased out of the waves. |

If you really can't wait Ratchet will be released in the takara Henkei line sometime in August/November alongside Ironhide. Probably more of a viable option for us Brits tho  And animated crap!?  NEVER! Sorry to dissapoint you, but Animated is planned as an ongoing series, as long as it is popular ( and it looks like it is) it will continue to run. |

whats dont you like about animated? the toys or the cartoon? or both? Personally I'm enjoying the cartoon for what it is. It's never going to have the depth of the comics or Beast Wars/Machines, but it's good fun, the Decepticons are fairly sinister and the balance of power in terms of firepower is much better than G1, the Autobots are really relying on their grit and teamwork to try to beat even 1 'con. As for the toys, I'm only going to be getting the Dinobots ass I think they look awesome. I was thinking about Jazz and Ultramagnus but only if they are cheap, I don't want to get started the same way I did with Classics... I'll just get a Bumblebee to go with my Alts.... whoops.... The rest of the toys look ok but compared to Classic 2.0 they look a bit, well, toyish.... |

The rule of thumb from Hsbro was that a character will only be released in one line if the alt mode is similar. So, as Phill says, Prowl was able to be released in both shows, whilst Jazz won't be. That also means no SUnstreaker / Sideswipe as sports cars for animated, and could explain why Swindle was a hummer and not a Jeep in animated.
Hasbro said that at BotCon 2007 - I have it on a sound file somewhere (about the lines / mold relationship)

I understand what Hasbro is doing.With the success of the Movie, they had to release something that would appeal more to....... kids.............I can still hate the Animated line.And I do. Oh and now we wont get Jazz(in his proper form) cause of wackazz Animated!Man funk that!Classic Universe should come FIRST!If not for us older collectors there wouldnt be a TRANSFORMERS! Retarded azz Animated can @#$&%#@*& and @$%#^&*! then it can #$%@!* and like it! |

Actually they did prove, at one time, that adult collectors make up less than 15% of their sales. They'll always make the kiddie line the main one.
