A new Beast Wars Line

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Personally I'd rather have a few decent homage figures than a revamped, probably substandard, BW TV series. Animated's demise was bad enough, to see the same thing happen with BW redux would be horrible, unless it was crap in which case I'd rather it just didn't happen.
And I totally agree, it does seem unlikely we'd get Transmetals, and very unlikely we'd get TM2s or Fuzors.

And I totally agree, it does seem unlikely we'd get Transmetals, and very unlikely we'd get TM2s or Fuzors.

Which is a pity because one of my favourite figures was Transmetal 2 Dinobot!.

I feel that a show should not even be attempted because they'll never be able to recapture and write the magic they had at the time.

Personally, I think they should just continue to do Homage figures as they can invest more time and effort with individual figures than trying to do an entire line of figures.

Mind you, I wasn't really sold on the Cheetor and Dinobot figures released under Classics/Universe 2.0, they just seemed... I don't know... annorexic? - probably not the right word but they just didn't feel right to me.

I personally don't own them and agree with you that they are little 'different'. But the cheetah actually looks like a cheetah, or more like a cheetah anyway, not some stocky housecat, though the bulk worked on the original Tigatron figure.

With the improvements of technology and design, if they gave new moulds a crack hopefully more of the robitics would be hidden and by the same token the robot modes would have less beast kibble.

I loved the universe BW figs, I'll happily take more of 'em! AND A WALRUS!

Not sure what Aaron was smoking, but we've already had 2 revisits of Beast Wars by Hasbro - the 10th Anniversary set of 6, and the Universe set of 2.

Both seemed to be succesful enough to warrant more, or at least had enough sales statistics for them to investigate it further.
Implying that it was a surprise to him that there was fan/consumer support for Beast Wars is a bit disappointing, because it suggests his interests lie with Gen1 (what he grew up with) and Armada onwards (what he designed) - leaving a big Beast Era gap that he seems to have no interest in. If he's one of the people deciding the direction of TFs, we will only have him focussing on the eras he cares about, and put a half-assed effort into the Beast Era, that he seems to have ignored, both during its release and 2 subsequent revisits.
