Retards in disguise

Hasbro have destroyed my dream of owning a special needs transformer. My plans have now been scrapped - taking him for walks on a lead, day trips to pets at home but telling him were at Chester zoo and helping him to finally be able to transform.



Hasbro say "The TRANSFORMERS brand intended no offense by use of the name "SPASTIC" for one of its products which has not and will not be available via traditional retail channels in Europe, including the UK. Thank you once again for notifying us about your concern. As a marketer of children’s products, input from parents, families and fans regarding their experiences with our brands is extremely important to us. Our goal is to have all families who enjoy our brands feel good about their purchases and experiences"
Apparently in the USA, the word "spastic" means a clumsy person. But not here in England.
