Considering that Optimus hasn't only been a part of every franchise media in 1 for or another ever since 1084 and has the most diverse selection of figures in the entire franchise (even after the 2007 movie made Bee the main star), I will disagree with that. They actually recovered rather quickly, bringing back Prime in season 3, as well as changing Duke's fate in the G.I.Joe animated movie.

As for the SS B-127 from TFOne, I saw him at Wal-Mart and wasn't impressed. The figure is small, and the paint job is dull. Looks more like 2-step changer.

SS was just revealed, that's the mainline toy

Na, there's a bunch of storylines and source material they could have chosen and they went with the one that Beau De Mayo felt would be a better fit for the audience it was made for (as he recently confirmed when Disney was asking him to do different stories). And the source material did not get darker. The darkest material from the comics is not from the late 90s but instead from the earlier 80s with God Loves Man Kills and then from the more recent era of X-Force from 10 years ago (which they didn't use).

And yes fans have made the term pandering negative, but that's on them. And that's what I was pointing out. Someone called this new film pandering to its audience and all I did was call out that what they liked was pandering to them. If people are triggered by a term, then they shouldn't use it themselves because it can always be flipped right back to them.

And I want to be very clear, there is NOTHING WRONG with liking something that was specifically made to appeal to you, that's the point. There is nothing wrong with good fan service. We are fans, we will give our attention/money to what services us.

I loves X-men 97 and I can't wait to watch Transformers One. Till all are ONE

If you actually saw SS b-127 from tfone in stores that would be a major new sighting. Next time you are there, please take a pic of this SS figure
