Via ToysRuss YouTube channel we can share for you a new interview with Hasbro Transformers Team Evan “Naveskoorb” Brooks & Mark “Markclonus” Maher.
We have an interesting 27-minute chat about our favorite brand of transforming robot toys. Read on for some highlights (thanks to Tetratron):
“Beat MP-10” was the goal with Studio Series 86 Commander Optimus Prime.
Knight Rider collaboration wasn’t made with the goal of scaling with anything.
A Hasbro designer named Brian (who has worked at Hasbro for 30 years) is the one who did Knight Rider
Evan isn’t fan of the old Fortress Maximus Titan.
A lot of brands have come to Hasbro for collabortations. Certain ones get pushed forward based off what the Transformers team thinks would work best for the year. It’s a lot of back-and-forth
Debating on what to do with cardboard backgrounds since their research indicated that people don’t use them much.
Talk about creating new flight stands
Comic stuff won’t come to Studio Series until SS-86 is mostly finished. If it happens, it’ll be in something like Legacy. Evan names Nautica and Riptide as characters he wants to do.
Mark has plans for more Wreckers, though most on the backburner. Rack n’ Ruin is the one specifically he wants to do.
Capsules are always envisioned as one year programs, if they do well is when they consider to do more though with development it takes two years.
Devastator will show off in some form at Pulse Con.
Original plan was to spread Devastator across two years but now the goal is 5-6 months. They learned from Menasor based off how Breakdown well into a later wave then they wanted and was harder to get.
Recommendations from internal management are to show off Combiners all at once. Trying to figure out a system to make most of the pieces available at once.
No trumpets for the Constructicons. It was planned at one point though.
Still a lot of candidates for Titan class. Hasui wants to do Grandus, Mark thinks Broadside would fit.
机翻：
通过 ToysRuss YouTube 频道， 我们可以为您分享对孩之宝变形金刚团队 Evan“Naveskoorb”Brooks 和 Mark“Markclonus”Maher 的最新采访 。
我们进行了一次有趣的 27 分钟聊天，谈论了我们最喜欢的变形机器人玩具品牌。请继续阅读以了解一些亮点（感谢 Tetratron）：
“击败 MP-10”是 Studio Series 86 指挥官擎天柱的目标。
与霹雳游侠 (Knight Rider) 的合作并不是为了扩大规模。
孩之宝设计师 Brian（在孩之宝工作了 30 年）负责设计霹雳游侠
埃文 (Evan) 并不是旧款 Fortress Maximus Titan 的粉丝。
许多品牌都来找孩之宝寻求合作。有些品牌会根据变形金刚团队认为今年最适合合作的品牌进行推进。这需要反复沟通
争论如何处理纸板背景，因为他们的研究表明人们并不怎么使用它们。
谈论创建新飞行站
直到 SS-86 基本完成，漫画作品才会出现在 Studio Series 中。如果真的有，那将会是 Legacy 之类的作品。Evan 表示他想创作的角色有 Nautica 和 Riptide。
Mark 计划制作更多 Wreckers，不过大部分都搁置了。Rack n' Ruin 是他特别想做的一款。
胶囊总是被设想为一年期的项目，如果它们表现良好，他们就会考虑做更多的事情，尽管开发需要两年的时间。
Devastator 将以某种形式在 Pulse Con 上亮相。
最初的计划是将 Devastator 分散到两年内，但现在的目标是 5-6 个月。他们从 Menasor 中吸取了教训，根据 Breakdown 的后续效果，他们想要的更晚一些，而且更难获得。
内部管理的建议是一次性展示所有组合器。尝试找出一个系统，让大多数部件一次性可用。
挖地虎没有小号。不过这曾经是计划好的。
泰坦级仍有大量候选。Hasui 想做 Grandus，Mark 认为 Broadside 也合适。
