Unnecessary hype from an unreliable source.

Don't be a douche. Go complain and campaign somewhere else. If you can't find somewhere else, too bad. Keep it to yourself.
Rude.

I seem to remember everyone HATING this line when it came out...) over the death of Transformers Animated, just remember that the individual lines will no longer be in existance. They are all being merged into the catch all Transformers line. Could we see these figs released in the same way as Deluxe Thrust and others? WHo knows...but let's wait and see what happens first before decrying the end of the Animated line.
Here's the problem with that theory: We saw Rodimus on card, in Animated packaging. Not once did we see or hear a mention of Animated being in the Generations line.
And ROTF isn't dying, really. It's now becoming Hunt For The Decepticons. HFTD and Generations are two totally different lines.
I do think we could see the death of Animated on these shores.NOBODY LOVES WHEELIE wrote:I'm gonna say this and its not a slam on the Animated line, but I'm not suprised.
Before you get the torchs let me explain...the US Transformers line goes through this every so often...they expand lines then get the idea that they need to condense to present a more unified line.
-Movie(when we have movie product out)
-Animated
-Classics Universe
You know Movie is not gonna be cancelled. And the Classics line or whatever their calling it this week always seems popular.
So what was left to condense. Animated.
The two product lines I wish Hasbro would cancel are Legends...I'm sorry their smaller crappier versions of larger figures and to be honest their peg warmers, unless they want to do more smaller characters like the did with Wheelie and such the line should just disappear.
That and the roleplay and the little Hot Wheels style cars...again maybe its me but this stuff sits on shelves forever until it hits clearence...I just don't see the sense of continuing lines that are essentially made to clear.
None of your points were inflammatory. You're right. Animated was the one line they were able to leave by the wayside and really not look back. So, it lost out and was axed.
I must disagree, however, on the Legends Class comment. I see them sell out rather frequently, with new product being refreshed often. I personally don't find much to like about them (I own 4, perhaps 5) but they're at least a modest success.
Now, I will agree with you on RPMs. Man, those suckers ain't going anywhere. I've seen some of the original case shipments still sitting on pegs. There's dust on some of them!
Fortunately, Takara is carrying Animated, so I think we'll get to see the figures we were promised, just not as we were promised. I'm wondering if Hasbro planned this...
Here's why:
The show's off the air, the sales were down, the kids need more to be interested in than just toys and 'toons, and with Takara releasing their own figures now, all Hasbro had to do was swat us with Arcee and Ratchet, keep us calm cool and collected and then they'll say "Here ya go, have at it!"
So, they won't lose any money on the figures being produced (because Takara will most likely release them on their own), and we still get our figures. In the end, it's a win/win for everyone.
Kind of a poopy way to do it, but at least we'll have gotten what we were promised.
It also doesn't help that the cartoons air on a network that some people have no access to. You can't get it over the air, it's not on some basic cable systems (most, but not all), and a lot of people don't even have cable (period), so what's a kid supposed to do? How are they supposed to know about the show?
And now that it's moving to The Hub? Geez. Another cable tier and more money. Oh gee, sign me up!

I gotta agree with him on this one. I know there's lot of fans of TFA, and I'd be pissed too, but I wasn't a fan. Hopefully I'll like better whatever takes its place...
With that said, this IS still just a RUMOR. Maybe you guys will get a couple more figures yet!

Hey, thanks for classing that post up a bit. I agree that everyone gets an opinion, but there's a difference between "stating my opinion" and "let's be inflammatory to see who gets pissy."

No problem! I thought TFA was terrible IMHO (I tried to like it guys, I really did!), but I've seen how loyal the fanbase is and I knew people would hammer him for that post!TFBuyer wrote:Now, if he would have been talking about all the RoTF stuff on the shelves...
Aw, c'mon! I don't understand why people dog ROTF figures so much. Just like you guys can't understand why we sh*t on TFA so much!

I mean really, we are getting a line that features drone limbs that dont even have bot modes yet proper figures like the rest of the Animated lines are possibly getting scraped. Just remember that when you all go out drop a bunch on the powercore line.

Here's the problem... People like me are caught in the middle, and it's unfair to us. Why? Because people like me like both.
So, you're not just dissing a line or subline, you're dissing the fanbase behind it.

Diem wrote:To the folks who are glad that Animated is coming to an end; Sure, you're entitled to an opinion too but this may not be the most tactful place to bring it up. It's like being at a company the day it goes bankrupt and laughing because you at least have wealthy parents. There's still people around you who are upset even if it doesn't bother you.
Diem wrote:And to the folks bashing Powercore Combiners; Really? You're also entitled to your opinion but it's not even out yet, and if I had a penny for every fan who's badmouthed a line and then totally changed their tune later on I could buy a MISB Black Zarak. Seriously, wait and give it a chance before loading the flame-throwers.

Er...they did complete the Dinobots. Grimlock, Snarl, and Swoop were the only ones that they had in the show and toy line.
This isn't G1. Even with all of the homages, it's it's own separate entity.
