Zac_Shipley reports at transfandom.com that he e-mailed marzdistribution.com for clarification of their distribution list regarding Transformers:Armada. He soon received a response from marzdistribution.com:

"We received this information directly from Hasbro themselves. As far as they are concerned, they are producing these figures and they are not rumors any longer. The figures should be out before the actual release of the new TV series, but that is still up in the air as we speak. We usually get information on all Hasbro products very quickly so if I hear anything else, I will shoot you out an email."
