That's What I said as well. It will have its own toyline instead of being shoehorned into SS yet again. It was just an observation.william-james88 wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Considering that it's supposed to be a prequel, hopefully we'll see a lot more Cybertronian designs.

There won't be any studio series for this film since it's all handled by the non SS/generations team. It's going to be one big toyline for kids, like Earthspark. Honestly, a bit confused by your comment since the article is all about the film having its own toyline.

Whether it was TF Prime RID, or Cyberverse, Rescue Robots, or Earthspark. So it worries me to hear some people hinting that this upcoming film will also be 'for kids'. That may make good marketing sense. But as an adult collector, the notion of MORE kid stuff doesn't do it for me.

No worries.william-james88 wrote:Ah, my bad, I misunderstood, I thought you also hoped it would have its own line. Take care.

It might be a blasphemy to admit this as a G1 fan (NOT a "Geewunner"), but I didn't care much for the majority of TFs from back then. Prowl was my very first G1 figure, followed by Powermaster Optimus a couple of years later. Then I got a few more down the line and that's it. And engineering has come so far in the last 35+ years I have no inkling to go back and collect any of them. I'm very happy with modern day updates.
So does that mean I'm not *really* a G1 fan? I love the comics (my definitive continuity) and the '86 animated movie. I like the cartoon for what it is but I never saw it as a kid until the early 90s reruns. (I grew up in Eastern Europe in the 80s and we had 2 channels on our TV. Got cable in '92 after the USSR went down.) I do hope that this new animated film will be a prequel to G1, and my fat-chance hope is that it utilizes the War Within designs from Dreamwave. (Assuming Hasbro has the rights?)
