Given Strongarm and Shadow Striker are in a wave with Bombshell and Detritus, I imagine that means at least one of them is a retool.

I had the idea of swapping it from an energy problem. (In the comics they had to knock themselves out of orbit in order to have an energy shortage) and make it about material shortages. Energy shortages was definitely still on people's minds back in the 80's, but these days rare "earth" metals...

They release Studio Series figures in Buzzworthy, don't they? I thought Hound was listed as one of those. Looks like I was mistaken though.

Is Studio Series Snarl going to hold the record for Studio Series figure with the least screentime in a movie? (Or game, given what's coming?) Dude was in the movie twice for only a handful of seconds each time. Though I guess that SS Hound might have him beat.

The problem is that G1 started fractured, even just in the US; Marvel Comics vs Sunbow Cartoon. Then G2 as the weird 90's growth on the side of the Marvel continuity. G1 has iconic bits, but it in itself has no definitive iteration. You can make an argument that the Sunbow toon/movie is much...

Hard to tell how well the most recent one did given it lasted 17 issues (I've seen better series die at 6 or 12 issues) and seemingly only ended because IDW lost the license.

Walgreens.com has Minerva in stock finally. https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/hasbro-generations-legacy-deluxe-class-autobot-minerva-action-figure/ID=300431835-product

Right, but that doesn't mean the correct message is going to reach the top of Hasbro. For one, they would be need to be able to distinguish that people don't like the lines because of the cost cutting measures and not for another reason - general franchise burnout, specific dislike of the line...

You ask a lot of questions thar none of us has any concrete information on. Nobody know for sure what's happening with the comics, so nobody can possibly know what the future plans are. We can only speculate based on our own personal opinions.

Unless we, in large enough numbers, just stop buying the products that come out, they'll continue to cut more and more corners as they chase record breaking profits at the expense of everything else, in their efforts to try and please their increasingly unreasonable "exponential growth forever"...

I wasn't suggesting they shared parts in common, I was taking about the aesthetics.

Is it just me or does is the non Studio Series RotB line almost feel like G1-ified versions of the characters. Like compare the mainline Airrazor to the Studio Series one. SS looks like a Bayformer robot while the mainline one looks more like something out of Kingdom.

Doesn't the show drop dramatically in budget as time goes on?

https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us It's still stuck on Kingdom and Cyberverse. You know how old this is? Windblade is one of the only six characters on the character page!

Hickman is very much a guy who can do big sweeping storylines, but his character work can suffer if he goes too big. He'd run the risk of being another IDW2, which is great for me, but I can see other people not getting into it. Al Ewing would be incredible. So many comic writers treat canon...

I'd disagree that those were wasted votes. We we were voting for a story and something unique, not just who gets the next toy. Shockwave or Megatron as a Prime would have been wild. It wasn't until recently that we got an Autobot Megatron toy. Also, at the time we had no idea that IDW was...

I was really pulling for Arcee to make it to the end. I would have loved to see what they would have come up with for her Prime design.

Victory Saber would have worked great with the leader gimmick. Did Hasbro have a character they expected to win?

Marvel g1 has nostalgia. MTMTE was nominated and won some accolades. (Stolen from TFWiki) I think everything else was a mixed bag in how it was received. You can probably find defenders for every series if you try hard enough.

Well, this thread is about G1 which might be why. :) But seriously, given that there were no Cyberverse comics (that I'm aware of) I'm wondering if Hasbro isn't just done with tie-in license stuff for the kids shows. Was there even anything from IDW on the Bumblebee movie?
