    The Hasbro Empire keeps getting bigger and yet Transformer toys get smaller, are made of cheaper quality plastic, have less paint apps all around, the removal of any and all screws to hold the toys together using friction joints, clipped on parts everywhere, and the newest and best cheapness ever ... outside clip on wheels.

    No No No! Don't say that! You'll be attacked by the staff at TF Wiki and their supporters for being G1 (GEEEEWUNNNN!) bias if you speak out against the new empire, even if you are a BW or Armada fan. Any complaints about the newer inferior toys will be met with constant reminders about how 30 year old toys don't stand up well today.

    As long as folks keep buying, they'll keep cost cutting.

    You sound like a mature fellow that doesn't let petty arguments get to you.

    Sounds like if the wiki clique's skin gets any thinner, the next cross glance will leave an awful mess to clean up.

    Cliques are sadly human nature. They exist from the beginning of time when Oogabooga didn't want to talk with Boogaboo because he was friends with folks from another cave.

    But to bring up a completely unrelated argument in a completely unrelated thread from something that happened in another site takes a lack of social awareness and maturity larger than the one that leads people to get into cliques.

    Funny how Transformers, for how big it is apparently, is not represented in the toy shelf behind him.

    Because the fact Battleship rightfuly flopped for being a terrible, pointless movie, GI JOE is pretty much dead in the water last I heard, and literally everything that's supposedly been in development otherwise has been in development for years at this point?

    When the only thing you can say for certain that's in development is the one everybody already knew was happening, that's kind of bad.

    Because the evidence this expansion hasn't been ongoing since the middle of 2008 what with those Asia-only releases of the G1 redecoed Energon combiners (who later got released with no changes as the ROTF combiners in the western markets), as well as the GDO figures that barely got picked up for US release two years later that otherwise would have also been Asia only, totally doesn't make this sound like restating the obvious at all.

    Part of me weeps that the Game of War ripoff with some of the worst rush-jobs of CGI mockups I've ever seen is actually part of this franchise, and of such importance the CEO actually acknowledges it.

    What a standard, expected answer that leaves things entirely where they were as if the question wasn't asked to begin with.

    I liked it. Hard rock soundtrack, cute nod to the board game, decent acting, Liam Neeson, interesting aliens, inclusion of injured vet, believable (or at least enjoyable?) premise...

    Some of youse guys are way too critical about BS when TF was a horrific train wreck by comparison! :lol

    Not to the people that matter the ones that fund the movies.

    Are they actually calling it an empire?
