keep in mind Hasbro just cares about this


They sell more TF merchandise during the Bayformers years


so as long they keep making money off the movies and merchandise, the bayformers will still be around for as long as they want. its all about money, thats what keep franchises afloat.

lets look at sony and fox, if Amazing Spider-Man 2 had made the 1 billion Sony needed, they would've continued with that instead of rebooting again, regardless if fans hated it or not, if the last fantastic four movie had made tons of money and still sucked, Fox would've continued because it made moeny.

 

man 2009 was a good year! I'm surprised 2010 wasn't higher, there were movie and generations figures on the shelves side by side, something for everyone.

 

I'm guessing that GI Joe wasn't mentioned in this factory of blunder is because GI Joe isn't sold in the UK, where the event was held. I think it sucks we don't get gi Joe stuff, the last lot we had was from the rise of cobra toyline.
I wonder what the play doh movie will be like? My son loves watching the stop motion play doh fiplms on YouTube.

 

The logo screams Willy Wonka! When I saw it, I thought there was a partnership.

 

Agreed. But that's American business these days. Lay around collecting licensing fees or litigation payouts. It's about as sustainable as an economy where everybody sells each other hamburgers. But if you stuff your pockets and get out of Dodge before it all comes crashing down...

 

Do you honestly think G.I. Joe, with it's anti-terrorist aspect and nationalist-theme, would survive today? Even if the movies never happened, Joe never had a chance. It's a shame, because it's got a lot of great ideas in it, and some awesome designs.
As for the Transformers movies, if they extend into the cartoon realm, I'm done with Transformers. I'm not going to stand by as a fan and watch people judge the brand off of a shitty fan-fiction.
Goldner needs to leave Hasbro. He is a threat to the franchise, and will damage Hasbro beyond repair. He's trying to make it a Multimedia company, not a Toy company, which is what it is. Look how well The Hub turned out, they sure have a lot of good points on their resume, huh?
And let's not forget Play-Doh. How the fuck is that supposed to be a story? Is it some shitty kid-flick where the characters have to fight a 4-Kids like enemy, who threatens friendship and the stereotype of "good"?
Someone on here posted something along the lines of, "Hell has a special place for Goldner and Bay". That statement couldn't be more accurate as to our situation.

And so begins our new Dark Age.

 

It would work as a period piece, alternate dimension or combined with Transformers. Unfortunately in my opinion Gi-joe is not updatable.

Ok, someone please explain to me how a movie about fucking Play-Doh can work.

Hasbro apparently doesn't live in the same reality as the rest of us. Did they seriously already forget how badly the Jem and the Holograms move crashed and burned?

 

Movie about Play-Doh...

Okayyyy...

...

Thank you for making my day, Hasbro.


Much appreciated.

Yup. The only time when the corporate meddling should be executed, it wasn't. Lol.

 

I can imagine the play doh as beign dough aliens... that could take any form they want, and that the air of the earth dry them... LOL

 

they want to duplicate the success of the Lego Movie, a movie which nobody thought could work, yet it did.

 

Hasbro in general wants to duplicate the success of Disney while failing to duplicate what made people like the MCU and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

 

LEGO movie was all about the fact it was a world made of toy bricks and didn't even remotely take itself seriously.

If you didn't know Transformers was mainly a toy line, you would be hard pressed to believe the movies were long-ass toy commercials between all the gratuitous human death and overabundance of human drama.

 

I was talking about the Play-Doh Movie, Not Transformers

 

I'm a fan of the movies and their toys, I have spent far more on it all than I should've. that said, I think giving the movies this kind of a hard push is a bad idea.

Variety really is the spice of life and you can only go on one path for so long before it comes to an end. We're coming to that end.

G1 did the same thing, it ran for as long as it could, they manipulated the casts, the gimmicks, the ideas and it still came to an end. BW brought it back from the dead and it just kept going because they kept changing it up.

The movieverse is finite, it will finally hit a wall/end and there might not be another BW waiting in the wings.

Just not a great idea. I can't see it ending well.

 

unless... BW movies?!

 

What God Ginrai said is exactly what the Play Doh movie is trying to do. It's trying to copy the Lego Movie's reason for success.

 

Hasbro Events, huh? Sounds like they will probably be running the Official Transformers Convention in house instead of licensing again.

 

I have to agree.

We're gonna need a hard reboot sooner or later.
