Machine Wars suffered from being ahead of its time, but they definitely made some unforced errors. They were clearly trying to appeal to the crowd who grew up with G1 and weren't digging Beast Wars, but went about it in a way that seemed counter-intuitive to that. We're talking about people...
It's not about the time frame, IMO. Saying they've had a year is is missing the fact that they're being forced to move at all (or else take their chances in a dismal job market) Moving ain't free; it's a giant headache that costs a lot of time and money, and I haven't heard if Hasbro is...
The problem isn't that it focused on Sam, the problem is that Sam's parts were the most cringy, poorly written bits of the movie and were excruciating to watch.
There's a thing I like to call the Kaiju paradox. Ostensibly, when watching a giant monster movie, you're there for the giant...
If they got the characterization right, then sure. Though one of the strengths of GI Joe is the cool vehicles and the idealized part of a crossover is Transformers who turn into those cool vehicles, which I feel like is breaking the glass before the emergency.
We're going to see a lot more stuff like the valentine's day pack I think. Budget's are going to continually be cut to the bone to appease the vision of Chris Cocks and part of that is going to be finding any excuse to reuse old molds. Stuff like this, product repacks (remember when we weren't...
Sounds like visual leaks are going to be under massive grains of salt for the time being; meaning stuff like Scorponok going from Energon to IDW/Botcon hybrid or how based on the Kingdom mold TM Megatron is could be accurate, inaccurate or who the hell knows...

It's hard to get a continuity that doesn't worship at the alter of the big names, which just so happen to be from the era where the only female characters were Elite-1's squad (one episode wonders) and Arcee, none of which are Decepticons.
Thinking about it, was Thunderblast the first female...
Shame he's passed on (and would be older than Cullen if he was still alive), but Don LeFontaine would have been interesting as Optimus. (He used to be the trailer voice guy, back when that was an actual thing and not just a goofy youtube channel)
