This is gonna get done ! Anyone who still interested can email me direct
[email protected] A quick piece of free advice here, let this go and walk away. Consider Hasbro's C&D letter as a friendly warning... I promise you that if you persist their next correspondence will be far more painful and far less friendly. I deal with IP issues daily as a creative director for a Fortune 500 company and in my professional opinion you guys, unfortunately, have no leg to stand on with this project – especially since you are now on Hasbro's radar. It's not what you want to hear, but it is what it is. |

This project is an anthropomorphized Hasbro trademark (the Cobra insignia). That's not going to fly. Make a robot with a head that looks like the Autobot symbol and watch that get taken down even faster.
Honestly, I don't think this guy is competent enough to deliver. He is clearly naive and is probably critically underestimating the task. Give him money if you want, but prepare for aggravation, disappointment, and a broken heart. Not everyone who says they can do something can actually do it. |

It's also aided by being produced by Chinese based companies. Because China does not protect IP rights at all. |

This is surprising considering they give almost no fucks about the boatloads of 3rd Party Transformers products that infringe thier rights with almost every figure.

It would be nice if Hasbro could reach an agreement with these guys to allow Kickstarter production while continuing to legally protect future use of their trademarks/patents/copyrights/whatevs.
Maybe compensation of a penny to preserve rights while allowing hardcore fans something that had less than zero chance of ever being made by them.

Two key differences here. This is basically a giant Cobra logo and is in the US. The 3rd party transformers don't use Autobot or Decepticon logos and they are in China.

Who the F*** are u to say I'm not competent enough to deliver ?
That's why I already have a prototype made and everything else ready to go. Quote:

Until you actually deliver, his opinion on your ability to deliver is just as valid as your opinion. I do honestly wish you the best of luck.
