Put out garbage content, and then cancel at the first sign of trouble. The only difference is that unlike many of their other projects, WFC trilogy didn't cost very much.
I think it could have been much better, with different writers, and actually on a network of some kind, NOT Netflix.

Other than a couple of toys. 2022-23 seem to be a very TF light year.
The most exciting bit of animated news is that Discotek will be releasing Dorvack the complete series as SD on BRD. I can't wait to see OG Whirl and Roadbuster in animated form

By pinching pennies, Hasbro only damages the Transformers brand.
The pandemic has shifted entertainment to streaming, and the quality has gone up (e.g. WandaVision, The Mandalorian). Hasbro needs to compare reasonably with the competition if they want to make a toy commercial.

Hasbro makes both marvel and transformers. They’re not really competing dude. They know who buys what as well as there people who get both and don’t compare the MCUs fiction to transformers. They’re apples and oranges

What stop motion? why, "Target: Alpha Trion", of course:
Give it a watch. It is amazing. It's got Garry Chalk, Peter Spellos, and a Megatron who sounds like an impression of Tim Curry!

Wasn’t well received…siege has a 96% on rotten tomatoes, Earthrise has an 86% and kingdom has an 83%.
Wasn’t well received by grown adults who play with toys who think their fan fiction is better and spend most of their time on message boards complaining about everything. Know who takes those reviews serious? NOBODY! But the companies do take the professional reviewers serious.
