Yay, it's so beautiful that something that meant so much to me get acknowledged on the other side of the planet!
SillySpringer wrote:Also, it's the 30th year anniversary of the 1986 movie, so of course Hasbro is going to focus on that.
Why should that be such a given? What makes the movie so much more important than anything else other than it being G1?

Why should that be such a given? What makes the movie so much more important than anything else other than it being G1? Do they really need to make five movie sets instead of maybe using one of them for something else people look back on fondly?
I get that I'm asking too much, but for the life of me I can't imagine why it's to much.

SillySpringer wrote:It's better than nothing.Like Shajaki said, it could be better, but we're definitely not doing bad figure-wise. Hasbro possibly will be celebrating Beast Wars when the 86 movie thing is over.

Sure, but the robot mode is soooooo perfect, it makes up for the tiny. Vehicle mode.

And on the other hand, you got Beast Wars -- An Emmy award-winning animated series that saved a dying, decrepit toy brand from the brink of death with its at-the-time cutting edge CGI animation that, while today looks woefully outdated compared to most modern CG television works, was at the top of its game in its day and age with its impressive but imperfect display of CG television at its finest, and which was combined with masterful writing and storytelling that, while being made up with little actual planning as its writers went along, masked its toy commercial status behind an elegant blend of seriousness, wit, drama, charm, comedy, characterization, and development, with only its most blatant shortcomings stemming from either the limitations of CGI, executive meddling from Hasbro that forced certain plots to be halted/rushed/unexplained, and which the writers had to work around so as to not let their product suffer as much as it could have.
Well, at least they both had top-notch voice acting.

Really? I mean, the first thing he does after fleeing - and losing most of his escape ship - is crash land, get shot to pieces, and lose the matrix, so, yeah... I'd say he's plenty inept as a leader

I mean, what more can you ask for than a re-release of a 16 year old toy with a deco that has nothing to do with the character it's based upon? Hasbro LOVES us, guys!

And they even made sure to pick a mold that's not even really connected to the series it's allegedly commemorating! Oh, man, I can't wait until they recolor Cybertron Megatron for the Armada anniversary!
