I'm DEEPLY, deeply saddened. I feel like it was a big tease for long-standing, loyal, older fans.
And it's not that I haven't enjoyed the younger-audience shows like Rescue Bots or RID2015 (It's great hearing Cullen chime in occasionally), but we need something meatier. More story, more characterization, real stakes, over-arching storyline, etc. (Not to mention some stellar, world-class animation.)
It makes me wonder why they don't do some one-off direct-to-video movies like we see for other franchises. (Batman, Halo, Riddick, Ghost in the Shell, etc.) The franchise is definitely worthy of it. Seems like a great place to explore some more grown-up themes and solid animation... not to mention a chance to pull in original actors like Cullen, Welker, Bell, Gilvezan, Burger.
Someone please pass this up the chain at Hasbro.
And in the mean time, I'll be praying this series of *SHORTS* is well received and gets expanded to a full series in the future.
But we already have a Transformers series targeted at an older audience!

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
gothsaurus wrote:Agreed! It would be a great way to shirk off the "rules" and do a new G1 story, Fall of Cybertron story, or even one set in other niche areas like Animated. Could be a great selling tool for the "filler" lines like Generations that get sandwiched between the live action movie toy lines.

2016 is the anniversary of Transformers the movie, which is hands down the greatest theatrical release of all time. Combiner wars was last year, and Beast Wars is not really important enough to be celebrated.

They'll probably start out that way before going to DVD.DarkEnergon wrote:Are these going to be strictly online shorts?
