Oh, you're just not reading these days. Well, good for you. I think that the polite word for that is "blithe".
So, if you read this:

So far we have Optimus Prime coming via TRU in the new smaller scale.
What about this new Sideswipe? We can't assume it will come to the US officially? Ditto for Soundwave or any future new Masterpiece? Maybe they will get a US release or maybe not?
To which, I replied:

Again, with TRU already releasing Thundercracker and Prime, yet another big money TF item so close seems unlikely for this year.
... But what do I know?
So, he was asking about a
Hasbro
release of Sideswipe and Soundwave to which I speculated and you're going on about the
Takara
versions. Hope that you caught all that. I think this is the second time I've said as much:

So, what point were you trying to make again?
Edit: I also want to point out that many claimed Hasbro would never release MP-Thundercracker using the new molds under the basis that Hasbro is always following Takara's lead in the MP line. They deemed it only possible for Hasbro to go back to the original MP-03 design. Of course they were also wrong because Hasbro does what Hasbro wants here in America where Takara is in no direct competition.

.. Reason: If I have to edit this again, I'm just going to use pictures to make it clearer.
