After Hasbro’s announcement last week that they had bought back many of the Sunbow produced episodes from TV Loonland, TVShowsonDVD have sort clarification from Hasbro on what they have bought for $7million.
In a statement, Hasbro now have the worldwide rights to everything and have only just started planning what to do with them, but a 2009 release is most likely.
Hasbro has reacquired the worldwide distribution rights to everything, including the rights to release the shows on DVD in the U.S. and Canada. The reacquisition is a result of two transactions. The first transaction is with TV-Loonland, and the second is with Sony BMG Music Entertainment, who had held a distribution license from TV-Loonland for the North American home video/DVD rights. TV-Loonland held the rights as a result of contracts that were executed a long time ago. Rhino was a sublicense of Sony BMG.

Michael Bay may be a busy man, but he does make time to provide a few words for fans. On his forums, he has provided a short comment on one of the designs by Josh Nizzi, who is working on the designs for Transformers 2.
Cool, maybe for Transformers 3.
Yes, short and sweet from Michael, but does he mean Constructicons for Transformers 3, Josh Nizzi doing design for TF3, or will this particular design be in TF3?
