    since it seems the online petition won't work and the thread is degrading into a bash-fest, my girlfriend created a mail in form to be printed off, signed, and sent in to Hasbro. There's an extra page for signatures too so you can have nearby friends/fans sign it if need be. All it takes is a printer, some ink, an envelope, and a stamp! Credits go to Hailstorm for the original script of the petition, and my girlfriend susie for taking the time to make this for us.
    send it to the following address:
    Hasbro, Inc. Attn: Transformers Team
    1027 Newport Avenue
    Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02862

    And the dl link for the .rtf file. .rtf files are readable in both wordpad and microsoft office.

    No. Not a mail-in petition.

    a letter writing campaign.

    petition = no

    concentrated effort from many individuals = yes

    I keed! I keed!

    Anyway, yeah that is alot better than online petition, but don't you think handwritten would be better? I mean, sending letters copied from the internet feels like the same as buying fast food for your date instead of taking 'er to the best place in town.

    Lol, I know, I was just kidding with ya too. Typed Letter Portion+Printer=Faster Process Faster Process+Less Effort=More Letters sent in :) 

    how is a petition with hand written signatures coming from multiple addresses not a "concentrated effort by many individuals?"

    If anything the letter portion being typed instead of written will save people time and make the process faster.

    because it's just someone adding a name to a list.

    not a thought out letter that they wrote themselves.

    the reason letters matter is because they're PERSONAL. they show the person invested their time and feelings into making sure their voice is heard.

    I don't know why this doesnt make sense to more than five people on this forum.

    Maybe cause you and those five people are wasting all your time complaining about how this and that won't work instead of TRYING.

    Seriously. How do you know for a FACT(100% FACT) that this won't work?

    Not to mention the fact that regardless of whether this matter were to be handled with individual letters or a petition, they would convey the same message: Keep Animated Alive.

    Can't see this making even a dent in the decisions Hasbro and CN have made.

    I hear they're ancient relics nowadays.

    I've heard tales of them being buried deep inside these caverns called "post offices" :)

    Dont know if any of you remember but this worked when they cancelled the show Jericho. After all the petition letters they continued the show a little longer.

    You had executives cancel your show, and a concentrated letter-campaign proved ineffective? Bummer.

    I agree though, Chapsy, this still isn't enough. Mere handwritten notes won't do, either; these are EXECS, after all. Let's sacrifice our first-borns to them in an intricate Aztec ritual, and write the petition in blood drawn from their still-beating hearts. Fuck yeah. :rolleyes: 

    Something tells me that it's going to be harder to appeasing the people on here than it'd be appealing to the decision-makers at CN and Hasbro..

    If it happened once it can happen again. Something I learned a long time ago is If you do nothing then nothing will happen.

    wasn't jericho cancelled again anyways?

    You cant try and save TFA because you dont know why it was cancelled

    If hasbro canceled animated because the toys werent selling, then a petition wont do anything anyways.
