Or the raging geewunners that think the same.
As a fan of both, I would generally prefer just 1 thread. But I'll gladly deal with 2 threads if it avoids pointless snipes like that above at those with different collection habits like the ultra G1 fans and the ultra bayverse fans.
Believe it or not, some of us like it all.

I don't have stats, and I'm not the overseer of all posts on the topic.
But in the years that I've spent reading and participating in threads, the "geewunners" haven't seemed to be the aggressors between the two series... In fact, it seems to be lop-sided the other way.
It reminds me very much of a recent post about the "brutal mistake" of G1 characters being added to the SS line.
As frustrating as it may be, blaming the fandom, collectors, and even the geewunners, is pointless.
to be real honest, it comes off as a 7 yr old kid whining that their 17 yr old sibling has a later bedtime...
Sure, one's preferences are one's right... But to expect a company to do anything other than what makes profit, not to mention, to do much outside of what they've figured out a substantial portion of their cliental want... That... That seems like... I don't know... Immaturity? Selfishness?
There are reasons; real, legit reasons Hastak has clung to G1 characters.
Which are probably the same reasons other TF series have not been given as much attention as some would like.
I'll also say, for a lot of these recent figures, especially in the SS86 line...
"screen accuracy" IS the "gimmick". And it's probably the best gimmick they've ever come up with.
I truly hope we get some substantiated word as to how these lines have sold. Because the only shelf/peg-warmers I've seen in the last 6 months have been Cyberverse stuff and Siege Leader Shockwave (and I have seen 3 Kingdom Arcee's the last 3 times I've been in Target).
I find it difficult to believe that any of the six currently available SS86 figures will ever be known as shelf/peg warmers.
TF-fan Kev777, my response is definitely not directed at you. I'm just sharing my thoughts.

No worries, in fact, I do agree with most of what you and even sol magnus have indicated. Raging gewunners was a bit of an overkill, and none are really raging. But I can also have some sympathy for those who really are only into the studio series line and can definitely understand their frustration, that appears to be where many "geewunners" fall short.
I can even understand when lead to D-Max's post in the first place.
Imagine if you were really into the live movie line. Since SS Devastator was released in October, there have been only 4 new live movie bots released (2 of them retools/redecos), Bee in Jan/Feb under the buzzworthy bee heading and just this month Starscream, B-127 and Dino. You find one and want to come on one of your favorite sites and discuss it. You make a post and then someone finds the leaked photo of Slag and posts it next.
Nobody even sees or responds to your post about Dino because 3 whole pages of discussion on Slag and the rest of the G1 dinobots immediately followed.
The live movies fans have been essentially displaced from the only forum they were really part of.
Hasbro created the mess by their completely disorganized approach to WFC, its just unfortunate that those fans of the live movies are catching the brunt of it.
That is why I'm happy to have a split thread. While I certainly want to talk about G1 stuff, I also want to talk about live movie bots as well. A single thread and the relative numbers basically squeezed out the movie line discussion completely.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, for sharing this news with us.
The true source of these pictures is unknown at this juncture, but if you know (or are) the true source then let us know so we can credit you appropriately.
These latest images show a better comparison with the already released, Leader Class Grimlock, and a look inside the Dinobots mouth to see his trademark flamethrowers (which look yo be blast effect compatible).
What do you think of these new images? Will you be having this Dinobot politely stepping on Quintesson followers?
Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I hope we get a couple of redecoed Battle Masters to go with them too as their G1 Targetmaster partners. Even if Hasbro intends not to use any "Studio Series" molds in the "Generations Selects" line, there's always those Amazon.com special multi-packs and offshoots like the "Galactic Odyssey Collection" or rumored "Golden Disk Collection."

He looks like he's a tad shorter, so Rodimus Prime should be happy!

Soundwave76 and Sol Magnus, I am sorry for my outburst earlier this week. I really am. That was an airing of dirty laundry from my time as a staff member that was held for a while and aggravated by time. I am sorry you both ended up taking the brunt of that. I was not trying to attack either of you.

"What I've done" is the only song I keep on my playlist from the Minutes to Midnight album.

If I see a Prime from before TLK that I can live with, I'll certainly pick up for my Prime shelf.

No worries. The apology is appreciated, but as sol said, not necessary.
I will totally admit that I didn’t completely understand the level of frustration you & other movie figure fans are going through. And I may not ever completely understand.
I’m sorry that you & others ever took crap for being fans of SS...
That’s just dumb, & honestly really kinda pisses me off.
I’m not trying to go all counselor-therapist in here, but that’s basically 1 degree off of cyber bullying.
Which is absolute bullsh!t, and lame, and weak.
Since joining back in ‘07, I have taken lengthy time away from the forums (& site) multiple times.
So while me saying I hadn’t seen anything like what you described is still true, I also didn’t have the full picture. At all.
Btw, I don’t hate the SS line. And I hope I haven’t come off like that.
With more $$$ & space I’d have quite a few of the Decepticon figures.
