Lament all you wish but tf needs to keep moving forward (something which it's doing by embracing new forms of animation) not just standing still in one part of its life. I can tolerate keeping a G1 style if something new was done with it (ala IDW). But a full on revival? I'd reject that.
I can understand the fans dislike of including characters from the 86 film in the Studio Series line, as aesthetically it makes no sense, I mean if movie characters in those likenesses started showing up in Generations, I'd imagine there's be equal backlash. I mean I'm not a fan of studio series, I don't own any studio series, but i do appreciate seeing them in the stores, and keeping up with whats coming out etc... Adding characters from TF:TM deviates from that, and so I can understand the backlash to that.
However I'm not talking about a full on revival. Just a film, or perhaps a series of animated films in the vein of DC's animated films is all I'm asking. The kids can keep moving forward with their RID's and their Cyberverses and their terrible flash animation...that's fine.
But more and more we are seeing genre's going back to the original well because its what what made them famous. Not talking about a retelling like Star Trek Discovery, but going back to the original timeline like Star Trek Picard. Gundam Unicorn went back to the UC after it had been abandoned for a great length of time, because fans wanted it.
I dont need a whole new toyline, or comic series. Just a little something, anything, not to take over the whole brand, but just for the adult fans to be able to remember what made Transformers great for them. The Sunbow series was left unfinished so it would be nice to move forward by telling a story back in that original series timeline is all, and I think it would do unbelievably well, and until its tried and failed, nobody can convince me otherwise.
