Oh I've heard stories about what some people thought and did when they first came out. It's what many would call sacriligious today.
All that aside, I hope to see more from this era done, specifically the Horrorcons.

Good News! The Marines just picked up the Toys for Tots donation! We'd like to thank everyone who helped to donate over 4000 individual toys and figures by preordering the FansProject Function X-1 Mystery Figure. FansProject deserves a special thanks for taking part in this with the mystery figure. You've all done a great thing and thousands of children will have a great Christmas because of your help!

That's essentially what they're doing by putting out those teasers. Also, it gives collectors who are strapped for cash a chance to prepare to shell out for 3rd party prices.
Some may not fully appreciate teasers and shadowed silhouettes the way they're meant to be perceived, but that's the way marketing gets done. Just like how we all hate commercials as they clog tv channels, radio stations, magazine ads, billboard signs, etc.
More publicity equals more sales, simple as that.

Cant say I agree. Imagine GM or Ford putting out silhouettes of cars each year ? What if Mcdonalds put a silhouette of a new hamburger ? This crap only seems to fly with Transformers fans. I would love to see a joint effort between Seibertron/TFW2005 to blast teasers to oblivion. Even though 3rd parties have their own websites, the fan sites could have a great influence if they chose to get involved. They could embarass the crap out of them since the TF collectors community is fairly small in size compared to other hobbies.

Survey question:
Do you WANT teasers INSTEAD of a digital picture of what will be for sale in the future ???
Yay or Nay
My vote: Nay
(for the purpose of this vote the word "teaser" is referring ONLY to a darkened silhouette or blacked out image. I am not referring to prototype shots or visible cartoon images/renders)

Of course I prefer better pictures, who doesn't!?!

Sure, why not!?

when did Hasbro announce these plans? I think I missed it.

Couldn't see much there, but it is a VERY ugly car, so it was understandable

I'm sure Hasbro has "plans" for everything. At this point I would not be surprised if there were concept diagrams to re-do every G1 character somewhere in their vast storage closets. Sadly to our chagrin, they have to do other things to bring in the bucks.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, or plan is too strong a word. I thought Hasbro announced they were planning to release characters based off the MTMTE and RID comics due to the popularity of characters like Swerve, Chromedome and such.
