Transformers Venting thread!

3. Generations and timelines/classics seem to sell well so why can't we get a TV Series or something based on the past characters us older fans deserve something to justify Masterpiece and generations maybe some bonus DVD's with MP Figures or something I need a new g1 fix

^Fully agree.
Although some Classicsverse toys (and the MP Seekers) appear in the IDW comics. And in Japan there was a Henkei! Henkei! manga series (though written for a young audience).

I think Hasbro underestimate the selling power of G1 just look at w4c and FOC largely based on G1 massive selling power why not create a TV Series based on the Generations toyline around these games?

That is what Transformers Prime is supposed to be. War For Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron and TF Prime are all part of the Aligned Continuity Family.

Transformers Prime is shoehorned into WFC and FOC which clearly were meant to be G1. If one uses common sense rather than what hasbro says, it can clearly be seen.

Why couldn't those games just be 'G1' as they were meant to be? Who knows but I bet it's not a very good reason.

I personally don't recognize 'The Aligned' continuity. To me is utter BS.

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh, I don't deny that - but officially they're meant to be part of the Aligned Continuity Family. I would have no objection if they wanted to make a Classicsverse cartoon and include WFC/FOC figures into it. Heck, IDW have pretty much done that w/ their Ongoing G1 series which has seen FOC and Classicsverse toys appear in it.

And Prime (Bulkhead, Vehicons) and Animated (BlitzVing) and Beast Wars (Wapinator, Rattrap) and their own made up characters (Rung, Pharma, etc) and even Kamen Rider (V3 and Den-O)

I do however agree that Hasbro should think about doing some kind of series solely for the fans, based around the G1 universe

[Darksaber]

for me the IDWverse works why not expand on that simple

I'm curious to know why you feel that you "deserve" something from Hasbro. The fact that you are an older fan doesn't entitle you to anything more than any 5 year old out there. You buy TFs because you like them, not because you are doing Hasbro a favour. Conversely, Hasbro are making toys because peopleare buying them, not becuse they want to show you their appreciation for all your years of loyal service.

Adding a DVD in with a MP is a wasted expense. Yeah sure, it would be good for us but you are not going to buy/not buy that MP based off the inclusion of a DVD. So what's the point. Remeber that the goal of Hasbro is not to make you happy. It's to make their shareholders happy.
