Huh. All this time, I never knew that Hasbro permanently retires characters that they aren't presently using. Thank goodness Matt Tieger was there to stop them from not using a character one time. This post has been edited by Fishbug: Apr 24 2012, 12:35 PM -------------------- |

I agree that this was likely blown way out of context. My feeling is that Hasbro nixed Dino-modes on Cybertron (because that, legitimately, doesn't make sense) and so they weren't keen on the characters being used in the game. It was not where they want the brand to go (silly ideas for the sake of nostalgia).
Tieger gave them a plausible storyline that explained the why, and they let him run with it. I'm happy they did. -------------------- "Maybe we guilty of not seeing big picture, but Decepticons guity too. See too big a picture. Time on Earth help us look down, see what we trample on. It life, no matter what it size or form. We watch it struggle, fight for existence. We helped it then... why not now? If Decepticons not see that their way wrong, it up to us to educate them... THE HARD WAY!" - Grimlock, Generation 2 #1
