What would you dread the most in relation to Transformers

[Shirokaze]

1. Hasbro driving the brand into the ground due to:
-Poor marketing/sales choices
-Case assortments that are proven not to work
-Cheapening toys
-Rising retail prices

2. Bumblebee not going away. I bet he and Prime will be the only members of the team that stay on for TF4.

3. Hasbro listening to you lot and not giving us more BW

I fear two things being broken into and fire.

[Bidoofdude]

Can you explain the second one? I'm intrigued.

I don't want to give them ideas but I rewatched Dark Awakening (zombie Prime) and the idea flashed in my mind of an MP10/Masterppiece Op with cracked windshield and broken face and body reprolabels. I thought that idea was pretty cool at first but it would give me episodes if it ever came to light...

At the moment I'd dread:
1. IDW abruptly and mid-story cancelling the current titles (DW style)
2. The mainline shifting younger (Rescue-Bots style conversions and figures being the norm.)
3. Losing TFs in the mainstream shops (Kmart or Big W stop stocking TFs altogether)

+1 on number 3 and I think Verno would agree,

Aside from personal loss, my big fear is the end of the Transformers franchise. *knock.on.wood*

That would never happen. Even if it did, between all of us we have stockpiled enough toys, comics, and DVD's to keep the memory well and truly alive for generations to come

Fire over everything else.. i've often thought about which ones i'd save if my house was burning down.. never came up with an answer though..

1. Increasingly smaller and simpler figures. Reverse this trend, now. I'm noticing more plastic is involved in each figure now but so far its only translated into having larger weapons/armour. Put it back into the main figure ffs.

2. Variety dying off. Less Optimus Primes and Bumblebees generally. The Prime aesthetic needs to go away as well, it was never really that great to begin with and it's overstayed its welcome.

3. That's it really. If anyone wants to steal my figures they're welcome to them. There's nothing really valuable in there, I think the most expensive item I have is the Powered Commender FP armour that I paid $120 for.

That pretty much describes 1990/91!

Micheal Bay being left in charge of directing future transformers movies.

Bet you are not thrilled then at the announcement that it's going to be a new trilogy and Michael Bay is slated to direct TF4 and most likely 5 & 6 as well
