    That's why I mentioned the "status quo change" with a "new team at Hasbro". The department at Hasbro that was primarily pushing the Aligned media was HasLab (not to be confused with the other "HasLab" that currently does the crowdfunded campaigns), which ended up dissolving as a department...

    In that same interview where Jeff Kline talked about wanting to make TF: Prime like the The Sopranos, he also revealed that before Beast Hunters because the rebranded third season of the show, there was a status quo change at Hasbro in which a new team at Hasbro originally wanted Kline and his...

    The original rumor was that the Legacy Bulkhead mold was going to be reused for an Optimus toy, but it was unspecified as to which Optimus in particular it would be. Fans began to speculate that it would be Beast Hunters Optimus since his altmode seemed the closest of any Optimus to that of...

    I liked the Dreamwave version of him. Does that count?

    The 1987 cartoon isn't the only continuity where April is a reporter.

    And yet... that's exactly how it went for Cody and Dani. They both started off not understanding him, but the more time they spent with him, the better they came to understand his beeps. Man, Rescue Bots really was written so much better than Prime.

    Truer words have never been spo-- Oh. I did this already.

    The sad thing about Raf's "connection" with Bumblebee isn't just that it went unexplained, but how inconsistent it was, too. Over in Prime's sister series Rescue Bots, Bee was similarly understood by Cody, and even later by Dani. Yet, Prime showed Jack unable to understand him when they hung out...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Tell me about it. My nearest Walmart is still overstocked on Legacy Year 1 and ROTB toys that it just can't get rid of.

    It sure didn't wanna be, what with the whole "Let's make this like The Sopranos!" mindset. And now I'm reminded of back when Machinima wanted their Combiner Wars show to be "The Game of Thrones of animation!"

    I'd rather we got a Prime game Thunderwing proper in SS Gamer Edition instead of a figure merely "inspired" by him.

    The more I think about just how much she clashed in tone with the rest of the characters in the world they inhabited, the more I begin to realize that Miko really was the Jar Jar Binks of the series. They wanted Prime to be like The Sopranos, yet they also threw in a hyperactive wannabe anime...

    Actually, I stand corrected. The last Transformers cartoon series Japan made wasn't Go!, but rather Q-Transformers, which was basically a 26-episode Flash-animated comedy talk show.

    They had the chance to make their own Transformers anime for a modern audience without any input it all from Hasbro about a decade ago, and what they chose to make was the very-Japanese-centric Transformers: Go!, which was still bright, colorful, and slightly on the wacky side, even without...

    Power Rangers General Discussion Thread

    Short answer: No on both accounts. Longer answer: The only new toy news that has been made known in regards to the future of Power Rangers is that Hasbro is giving Playmates a license to make a line of MMPR toys for kids. The fate of everything else in regards to the brand as a whole is...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    I feel like had those DVDs come out now, in the post-Aligned era of the brand where we can get faithful toys of Japanese characters like Metalhawk, Lio Convoy, Star Saber, and Deathsaurus, that their subtitles would have been far more faithful in their translation. Since the time they came out...

    I feel like the decision to move away from Japanese-led Transformers animation and more towards American-led cartoons was twofold. First, Armada came about as an attempt to not only cash in on the Pokemon craze of the late 90s/early 2000s, but also to ride the growing popularity of kids anime...

    You're excluding Miko, right? She was anything but "toned down" in her humor. ;)
