God, by that point, just throw it on YouTube and see what happens.
Ugh, what a waste...
They say AI is a tremendous waste of environmental resources, but I didn't think people with actual (purportedly) intelligence would take that as a challenge!

Speaking of the last dregs of the Earthspark toyline, is there anywhere online to grab the last few deluxes? I haven't even seen Jawbreaker or Aftermath on my usual haunts, let alone Nightshade and Spitfire.
They made a Deluxe version of Spitfire?
It might have been a warrior class. It was a redeco of Twitch.
Yup, tfwiki says warrior class.

Got Hashtag and Soundwave at our nearest Target last night! Super-excited to have decent representations of the whole Terran family! (Spitfire is the quick-change version, but it's better than a finger puppet!)
Attached the receipt, though I don't think the product number will help online. Just going to come out and say it, a Transformer named "Hashtag" is not an easy thing to search for in this day and age...

My local winners had a bunch of earthspark warrior classes on sale for 10 bucks a pop. I managed to nab thrash and nightshade. Going to try to find time to make a tour of the others, and see if I can score the rest of the terrans.
I wasn't overtly into the toys (they looked pretty decent, but I'm not collecting two seperate lines at canadian prices.) but marked down past half? Yes sir.

Maybe in the comics, if someone with a vision beyond G1 gets writing duties, but other than that, probably not.
Well, maybe in 10-20 years, but I think assuming Transformers will even be still around at that point is pushing it, IMO.

I think TF will be still around but not as popular as it once was!
They could always appear in a Crossover Crisis or get a "same character concept, different universe" take (such as was prevalent in IDW-2005-G1 and Last Bot Standing).
I mean, Nick Roche made Thrash, so I'd say he's got a pretty good chance of showing up in something made by Roche later.
Is Roche still working on Transformers?
I wish Skybound would be more open to bringing back artists from the past for more than covers...who knows maybe in the future.
Like, I could see them getting a cameo in a TF One sequel, but that doesn't seem like it's happening. It's unlikely they'd show in a live action film, which would probably go with more bankable names an a smaller cast.
Maybe Cyberverse's 5 minute episodes will be a fluke, but I can't see that show being much more than a toy commercial ala Wildocking rather than a venue to introduce non-toy characters. I honestly don't expect whatever follows (if there even winds up being one) to be different but who knows about that.
And the Energon Universe seems to be squarely in the realm of G1 nostalgia (I've only read the first year of comics, but I'd go as far to say G1 toon nostalgia, I haven't seen a lot of Marvel influence) and given how well it's doing for a comic, I don't see that changing anytime soon. (And at some point, I'd rather get a consistent creative vision, even if it's one I find unexciting, than pivoting to try and appeal to a new audience. I've seen too many comics I've enjoyed get whammie with a pivot and it's never been to their benefit.)

Last we heard he was working on some forthcoming EarthSpark project that he was unwilling to disclose at the time.
What a shame we'll never get to see it.
I think that's a bit pessimistic.
