It's adorable how naive you are. Really. Now, if it's about bragging rights, what's the thrill in #3? Why not shoot for number one? We are the champions!
"We're number three! We're number three!" just doesn't that certain, as the French say, je ne sais quoi.
EVERYTHING is a business. Especially with TF, which exist more or less in DESPITE of businesses (and because of fans) than anything else. Think of how many times Hasbro (I hate them with a loathing normally reserved for drug dealers) has intervened to either exert needless and stupid creative control (like 8 bajillion retreads of Beast Wars like transmetal figures) or killed a series while they thought it was still at the top of its property. Seriously, who do you think killed TFA? Could it be....Satan? Nope. Just Hasbro, I'm guessing. Business decision.
And how could you forget the hubris that took down Dreamwave?
Yeah, they just wanna be number three because it's their lucky number. Riiiiiight.
HK, 'it's not personal, it's *business*' Yes, I am quoting the Prophecy movies. If you don't agree with me, you can at least be in awe of my cultural *relevance*. Or not.
