That's absolutely true. But with this expanded universe and spin-offs and what not, they could go literally any direction. Maybe back stories for military characters, maybe Cybertron, maybe Beast Wars, maybe even this wacky-world you speak of.
And if Hasbro wants to sell their toys to kids, I say it'd be pretty weird--if not disturbing--that not at least one of those spin-offs is aimed at that target audience. And maybe, just maybe, they'll spin-off that spin-off into a crossover with ponies, and someone on this board gets something they deem amazing and are looking forward to.
And everyone else can ignore that movie, and watch the spin-off where they crossover with Doctor Who.
