What's up, Hasbro?

First you kick your North American fans in the dick by not releasing the TF: Prime First Edition figures in U.S. soil...


... then you make the remaining Movie Trilogy Series available only in Asia and Canada.

It seems that, for one reason or another, Hasbro is currently favoring the Asian market in terms of much-awaited releases.

Finally, you come up with crappy names that replace long-standing figure-size conventions.
  • Deluxe-class figures are now called Revealers
  • Voyager-class toys are now Powerizers
  • Leader-class ones are now known as Weaponizers

I know, this new Transformers naming convention is geared towards kids, but I still don't get it.
