What would you dread the most in relation to Transformers

[Kazza]

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

A part of me just died in the inside.

1. Fire
2. Burglary
3. Poorer and poorer quality official toys mass released
4. Franchise demise

A new masterpiece being released if my wallet had legs it would run out of fear that it's insides will be hastily ripped out to purchase toys made at sweatshops.

I fear two things being broken into and fire.

im sure that neither the fire or the thief will go for the fancy toys and will instead help themselves to that big fancy television

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.

really what is your address ? i'll be right over.

1. A return to Beast Wars lore.
2. The new TF movie trilogy that seems to think it's headed a different direction under the same director.
3. The value of the Aussie dollar dropping back pre-GFC exchange rates.

More killer HasTak and 3rd party transformers being released than my wallet can handle. It's always an issue, but sometimes more so than others.

4) Gobot becoming more popular then transformers

Considering that Hasbro now OWNS Gobots, and also that the Gobot universe has canonically been destroyed (by Megatron no less), that's unlikely to happen.

5) Online Overseas toy companies no longer doing shipping to Australia

That wouldn't affect me much. Though I think it's unlikely to happen.

1. A return to Beast Wars lore.

That wouldn't be so bad if they disregarded Beast Machines continuity. Beast Wars continuity itself is excellent and deserved a better sequel than it got.

2. The new TF movie trilogy that seems to think it's headed a different direction under the same director.

Our shared waking nightmare!

3. The value of the Aussie dollar dropping back pre-GFC exchange rates.

Do you mean the way the AUD dropped around the time of the GFC? That did suck, but the worst was in 2000 when it dropped to below 50 US cents, hitting something like 45 US cents at one point. That made importing Car Robot toys and reissues more expensive! I ended up passing up on Brave Maximus and got the Korean version 2 years later instead. :/ *sigh*

Honestly I'd be happy if the AUD stays at 80 US cents or above (because realistically that's about how much the AUD is really worth - it's been overvalued for the last few years; not that I mind one bit ).
