That's what was being said at BotCon, but if you look at the upcoming Speed Stars Minivehicles (the little Diecast ones), there is a set called 'Beast Machines' which are just redecos, but have beast themes on them. Bumblebee has a cheetor-theme to it, and Lockdown looks to have a spider theme.
So it's not totally being ignored, but maybe this is just a way of keeping them current, while still avoiding it in the mainstream lines to let the interest cool off a bit before a relaunch (maybe).
