But why inflict that upon yourself?

Combined with the competent vocal talent, the Combiner Wars clearly seemed to have some really good talent behind it in several departments (the voice actors, the recording studio, the animation studio, the guy who made the awesome that was Megas XLR, etc.). So with all this talent put into the making this show, it really begs the question:
Just what the slag happened to make the Combiner Wars cartoon be as terrible as it ended up being, especially with its atrocious writing, directing, and animation?
The other difference is that DBZ and Sailor Moon didn't have a steady stream of new fiction for a decade or two after their main storylines ended, did they? Transformers has, even if most of it wasn't connected to the universe that fans wax most nostalgic about. Therefore, "bringing Transformers back" is a harder sell because it never really went anywhere. Influence from the multiverse will undoubtedly creep in (even if not as disruptively as in ReGeneration One), begging constant comparisons between the Sunbow continuation and all the stories we've had in the meantime. Even if everything goes off without a hitch, standing out from the rest of the franchise post-1987 will be a heckuva' daunting task. By contrast, Dragon Ball Super just had to outperform GT, which wasn't THAT hard.fenrir72 wrote:o.supreme wrote:Because like many of us, we would like to return to something that we enjoy.

No longer have the products to sell anymore?
Though I wish TF G1 would go the DBZ route but then again, different market and demographics from those in Japan. Heck, even Sailormoon has/had a revival of the series with new revamped (more manga-sh character designs) and was a hit!
With the lone guard out of the way, Lio Convoy finally lay his optics on the Builder Assembly. Fifteen pathetic Builders, all but Ratbat helpless without a walker. One was missing, but Lio Convoy filed that away as unimportant. His understanding was that a quorum was 12, so he had more than enough.
“Members of the Assembly, I am here as representative of the Resistance to personally accept your surrender,” he declared gravely, and gave the Solipsistic Sword a *doink* on the ground for emphasis.
“I tell ya,” enthused Shatterpoint, “when it all began, what, six stellar cycles ago, I never woulda guessed how it would all end.”
“A peace summit?” asked Wind-Sheer.
“Nah, nah. Well, sure, that. But, I meant, giant floating head, screaming like a banshee,
firing laser beams everywhere.”

To be fair to the Metrotitan thing, that was asked at SDCC 2013, and in that year, the Hasbro brand team was the team headed by Aaron Archer. The current brand team, headed by John Warden, took over a year or so later. It is this team that has lately been giving us a lot of Japsnese characters, whereas Archer's team barely ever did.o.supreme wrote:Additionally, this goes back to a comment made in the TR toy thread. If a panelist was asked by a fan at a convention 3 or so years ago if Generations Metroplex would get a re-releases as Metrotitan and they said "who?"--I cant believe that NOBODY at Hasbro would know this character, even if it was exclusive to Japan at the time. Perhaps that individual didn't know, but as we have seen, we are starting to get some more obscure Japanese characters released in the Hasbro line.
