why do they still kill bots

Postby victoryconvoy » Fri Jan 07, 2011 7:25 pm

Every one said that Hasbro got a lot of backlash for killing all the Arkbots in the 86 movie,but then why did they still kill more bots in other cartoons?

Motto: "I hecked up"
Weapon: Dirge Gun
After 86, people just got used to bots dying. Plus, they usually get brought back to life. Examples:

Every Optimus Prime EVAR!
UT Starscream, twice
UT Megatron, Twice
Energon Inferno
Armada Smokescreen
BW Dinobot
PROFESSIONAL ARMADA APOLOGIST

Currently on a quest to collect as many Unicron Trilogy toys as possible...maybe even complete the collection...

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Don't forget poor BW Waspinator. :P

In all seriousness, the '86 movie massascre only had one purprose: to make room for more merchandise. So were the permanent deaths in Beast Wars (Trivia: originally, Terrorsaur was to survive and Waspinator was to bite the bullet permanently). It all comes down to refreshing product until Hasbro discovered Japan's magic "annual series reboot".

Another thing is that robot deaths are not the same as a human deaths, as it's been shown they're not as violent (no gore or anything), plus robots can be resurrected far more easily.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

honestly the death toll in the 86 movie makes it so more interesting.I wish someone would do a directors cut comic of 86 and put all the draft and storyboard action scenes in there.

the one we got was fine but I want more dammit!!
