Right now it's "Autobot Alliance", which is TakaraTomy's post-movie Movie line. I recommend we switch it to "Hunt for the Decepticons" as that's the best agreed upon name (Hasbro even used it at BotCon).

While I've definitely heard people refer to the gold box figures as HFTD, at BotCon, the cards in front of every gold box figure said "Autobot Alliance" on it...so, maybe the line goes by both names?  Or maybe HFTD is a subset of Autobot Alliance, or vice versa?

I wonder if it is possible that this line doesn't really have a true "name" (other than the umbrella Transformers line) and that "Hunt for the Decepticons" and "Autobot Alliance" are just promos/campaigns that are run under the line, but aren't meant to be considered proper names for the toy line.

I think that's probably the most right answer. I hadn't noticed the text on the cards from BotCon, so I guess it's OK.
