Last time I asked this, only 31% of you were happy with the current direction in which Transformers toys were heading. Let's see if anything has changed!

Yep. Takara saves the day again with more excellent MP offerings as well as paint-heavy FoC figures.

Hasbro has previewed some interesting things for Beast Hunters/TF: Prime that I'm looking forward to.

I'm gonna say 'no'. At first I was more optimistic, but now I've seen the Prime line's decline. Loads of floppy rubber, horrible weapons, thin plastics and size ruin great designs and ideas.

I recently bought GDO Hot Spot, which is a painful reminder of how solid and big TF's where just two years ago.

I got my Wheeljack and I'm looking forward to more beast designs and the possibility of getting Terrorcon legend figures. That's good enough for me. I'm not ecstatic or anything but it aint like I'm desperate for transformers to spend money on.

I voted No. The only bright spots in the future of TFs are the Masterpieces and the reissues. Otherwise, the Prime line and the FoC line are sinking the concept of shape-changing toys. Honestly, I don't even care about buying Masterpieces, but they still look good. I will purchase FoC Voyager Grimlock IF he looks good in-hand. Otherwise, it's bleak, toxic wasteland out there...

Agreed, Sinnertwin is a very nice thing to look forward to. Especially since it's a legend class figure.

Currently in my BBTS preorders, only 1 figure is an official HasTak figure, and that's Classics Artfire. I'm looking forward to a couple other figures coming out such as Omega Supreme, Predaking and Grimlock, and Sinnertwin if he gets a deluxe sized figure. but 4 figures out of all of them does not mean they're heading in a direction I like. Where the heck is a proper Classics line? I'd jump[ into that head first with an open wallet.

I, at first, wanted to say I'm 50/50, but the fact that the better part of my toys are Takara or third party makes me very disappointed with Hasbro. Smaller figures at inflated prices, cheaper plastic, plus not even bother to produce figures that Takara is coming out? I'm passing on more things than I ever did, but mot mostly due to price, but becauseI don't like the way the toys are turning out...... :-(

The figures are good, but it's just too damn hard to find them. The only TF I've bought in the last 3 months is Airachnid. I never look forward to anything anymore because I don't want to get my hopes up. With how bad Hasbro has been screwing up lately I never know what figures I'll actually find.

I'm split, but leaning on the positive side. It's not terrible, it's not great, it's just OK. There's a wonderfully HUGE selection of product out there (FoC, Prime, FE, GDO, Kre-O, Bot Shots, etc.), though quality, price, and distribution all around seems a bit dubious. Most of my purchases recently have been on-line as the few stores I have access to (Target and some local stores) just don't bother keeping up.

FoC Soundwave is positively giant. It'd be amazing if that's the norm again (and not just a one-off due to gimmick), though I won't keep my hopes up.
