If you could ask hasbro to discontinue one toy line after the movie...

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Titaniums 3 inch. Seems to me no one is buying these things. There like 15 Galvatrons siting at my Walmart with like 10 Optimus Primes and a few Thundercrackers.

The 6inch Titaniums however is a great line that should be continued. We are getting moulds that would not have seen the light of day in any other line. The Fallen is a prime example of this.

So some of the earlier waves had a few problems (yes Tank Megs was horribly loose, no argument there). But they improved as the line has continued. and we got really high quality moulds. Thundercracker and Rodimus Prime happen to be the best moulds of this line IMHO. We are getting G1 Ultra Magnus that can actually move and pose, instead of being a big red and blue brick that can barely move his hands. (no offense to G1 Ultra Mags he's still a cool toy). And i'm stil hoping we can get some more cool moulds. A Titanium Blitzwing would be totally awesome.

As of the rest of the lines. Well they are retty much all but discontinued so no point in driving an additional nail though their coffin.

BTW my Wal-Mart has had any new Transformers for weeks. Cybertron is sold out, all that's left is Classics and Star Wars and NO ONE IS BUYING THEM. The same toys have been sitting on the shelves untouched for at least 2 weeks or more.


Its the same with the walmarts by me

I'm not quite sure that is the reason why this line is
unpopular....
I mean look at ninja turtles! :D

when you go to walmart, there are tons of star wars toys
on the shelves. I think its just Starwars is not doing
well right now.

What I wish they would do instead is make GIJOE crossover
with TF!


I dont know were you shop but Star Wars figures are hard to find by me. Evrey time a shipment comes out its gone in little over a week. The new line came out maybe a week and a half ago and all they have left is the new obi-wan.

I guess I'll cast a vote for Star Wars Transformers, since I own at least one of all of the others mentioned (Got the Ark from 3" Titanium, but don't much care for anything else. Maybe the Unicron goes Bowling figure if I see it for cheap).

Cyber Keys I can take or leave. Minicons were better than then by far, since it's an extra transformer to boot. And minicons are better than, say, Micromasters anyday. Some of them have more posability than G1 deluxes!

I don't want the Alternators to disappear, I still haven't bought any of them and now I'm interested in getting a couple.

Cybertron should go, it served its time last year and they are taking up most of the shelves at my local stores.

Well, Alts already seem to be dead.
After the movie, won't the movie line disappear?
Since I haven't bought any, I guess the SWTFs.
No way should we lose the 6-inch Titaniums. Not after them taking Classics from us, and making the rest of the seekers exclusives. Man, give us something.

Not necessarily. There have been movie-based toy lines that have been padded out beyond the theatrical release at least till the movie got onto video/DVD. Star Wars not included, I recall Kenner's lines for Burton's Batman movies was drawn out with repaints, and the first Jurassic Park cranked out a couple waves well after the movie left theaters. The first Spidey movie had at least three or four waves. Heck, at the start of the year we just got the final gasp of Superman Returns figures, and if you wanna get really stretchy about it, Marvel Legends is finally squeezing in X3 figures a whole year after the movie. And in some cases, they managed to sneak in figures of characters not in the movies: there was a Robin figure in the Batman Returns line, the JP line was loaded with dinos not in the movie, and the last wave of SR finally gave us Metallo.

Granted, these days movie-based toy lines tend to breed prolonged shelf filler, but given the TF tradition of repaints, I wouldn't be surprised if by the time the DVD arrives we see either a red Camaro (Cliffjumper), a white Peterbilt (Magnus), or a black Raptor (Skywarp), or all three.
I got yer new Captain America right here!
