    This.

    I was late to the Animated party (took a TF hiatus after the movie), and just recently watched the whole series a couple months ago. And strangely, toys have started reappearing on my bookshelves...

    I hope we get a few more good figures, and some extension of this continuity in cartoon or comic form.

    And Omega Supreme. Please, Hasbro, let me spend money on an Omega F*in Supreme.

    Ya I hate that they are ending it after season 3. I wonder why they are ending so soon.

    And Arcee. They're the two toys I really want to see from this toyline before it finishes... both were great character designs.

    Really? That's too bad because he is probably right about the future.

    A movie series! Hah! I would love it! And it would make alot of money too.

    I'm sure someone else has wondered that they may be ending this to do a BW--> BM thing?

    Meh, I never got into the Animated show. I've watched both "seasons" with the 3 year-old in the house, but really, he was bored too. Batman TAS reruns, Ben 10, Phineas and Ferb... these shows keep kids entertained and glued to the TVs, not boring villains, weak heroes, and lame-ass plots.

    Really, I think long-time fans should see a pattern here: series with arm-chair Megatrons are boring as hell (BM, RiD [sorta], Animated); weak protagonists = not fun for kids; and if Optimus Prime is not a robotic John Wayne, then who the hell cares?

    Hasbro also needs to sit down and focus on a mission statement for the Transformers brand. Bayformers was skewed for Tween+, Animated was for 7 and under (and failed). Ah well, who cares? To be honest TF shows are more often miss than hit, the toys are awesome but annoying for parents/youngsters, and they won't develop the brand into the gaming giant that TFs should be. The whole concept should lend itself perfectly to gaming, but nope, let's go with the less-impressive Activision studios.

    Honestly, the movie will make bank and the toys will sell and can be repacked/remolded/retooled/repainted for a lot cheaper than developing a new line focused on kids. Maybe someday they'll get an ex-McDonald's exec to come in and tell them to build focus groups based on the relative percentages of each demographic they want to target or at least currently cater to.

    "Hey humans, I'm Optimistic Prime and I'm here to teach you about teamwork! Dinobots? No, no, no... we lock cool things away, like Omega Supreme! By the way, the only fights we don't scrape by on involve messed-up 5'8" humans, we couldn't possibly fight a Decepticon unless its 5 on 1."

    I, for one, like the fact that it largely requires multiple Autobots to take down a single Decepticon.

    But how old are you? Would G1 or BW have worked so well if the good guys were pansies ALL THE TIME?

    All little boys want their heroes to kick ass. Its why we dressed up as soldiers/cowboys/astronauts as kids. Really, how many kids do you know that dress up like hippies or identify solely with villains?

    Good idea AniProwl. Here's mine:

    1. BW
    2. TF Comics
    3. G1 Season 1-2
    4. TFTM
    .
    .
    .
    (That's right, I'm leaving blanks due to many misfires. Victory *might* go in here, should stick with American stuff, though)​
    .
    .
    10. Galaxy Force
    11. Beast Machines
    12. RID
    13. Animated
    14. G1 Season 3
    15. Armada (if they hadn't been so cheap on animation/first-bumps/names...)
    16. Movie 07
    17. Energon

    I still really, really want to like Bayformers. Don't get me wrong, I hate it, but if I could get over poor direction, horrid writing, and blurry shots... I might be okay with it then. Here's hoping when the TF2 DVD comes out I can be a fanboy once again.

    For someone with an Animated-themed avatar, signature, and name, you sure rank it pretty low.

    Well, maybe, because the avatar, signature, and name are dedicated to my favorite character from a current series. Maybe, the rank will go higher after Season 3.

    You can't demand a change to your avatar you just do it yourself.
