All I'm saying is that TF: Prime was a decent show with a lot of really good, if not great, points to it, yet this panel feels really needlessly slandering towards it as though any and all problems behind it were the fault of the show makers wanting to be more creative, and with no blame on the party that tried to impose its own wants onto the show when said party didn't even work on the show.
The information given in this panel could have been provided in a more professional manner that felt less mean-spirited and more fair towards all parties involved.
After all, we have heard from the show's side of the story in some of these points, particularly that Beast Hunters was indeed forced upon the show by Hasbro at the 11th hour, which required that the rest of the plans the show had for its third and fourth seasons be wrapped up and rushed within season 2 to free up the third season for Beast Hunters, which we've the results of such in the show being the hasty removal of MECH, the lack of Predacons besides Predaking in the main show (Preds Rising came after the fact, so Slylynx and Darksteel were post-show additions), the lack of the Beast Hunter armor for the seasons 1-2 characters, and an overall return to the Omega Lock story from season 2's finale.
It's clear that there were some problems behind the scenes, yes, and that more than one party was involved in said problems. But this panel feels more like all of the blame is put on Hasbro Studios, as though all other parties are completely innocent, which we know from previous reports to not be the case. It reeks of bitterness that comes off as being unprofessional.
It's understandable that he's unhappy that things didn't go as planned, but this kind of stuff happens all the time in virtually every production ever. It is very rare that things go completely smoothly in a production with few to no problems, so this reads more as him just venting frustration that he ought to have let go of by now. It isn't healthy.
