    While I agree that the Supreme Ani. Prime was pure trash, just about every single supreme sized toy since Armada Unicron has become a shelfwarmer, (Unicron, Primus, Starscream, SW Darth Vader), Omega Supreme) its just not a feasible market for children (which is the primary market) as opposed to deluxes or voyagers.

    Every time I saw the Supreme TFA OP and ROTF Devastator a little bit of me winced at Hasbro's decision-making.

    Got to agree with Cyber-Kun's realism, though. Kids are the primary market, and the kids want Optimus and Bumblebee right now.

    Doesn't stop me typing, for free, on a TF board, that I want a leader-class Blackout or supreme-class Omega.

    Actually, I want Sky-Linx, ultra-class or bigger.

    I would love to ge a modern interpretation Omega. Animated made him incredibly bad ass. I agree that we probably won't get it, but I can dream.

    its more the price point than the figures themselves but id hate to see a supreme class figure done on a voyager budget or worse a deluxe budget ( if they would even be possible) id be fine with it if they dropped the electronic gimmicks from the larger figure classes and used the money to improve the figures or just lower the price by that much

    No... it didn't. Animated Arcee =/= G1 Arcee, or even "Classics" Arcee.

    Bitching about it ultimately gets you nowhere, the Binaltech/Alternator line is still dead, and I don't see BW 2nd Unicron anywhere on the shelves. Hasbro is ultimately about their bottom line- making top dollar. And so far they've held on to the thought that larger figures need to sell to kids. And while some do, like Voyagers and even Ultras, the Supreme class at the $50 price point really needs to change it's aim. Parents don't just go and buy their kids $50 toys. Do I think they could have gone elsewhere than Roll Out Prime? Of course. Doesn't mean that they will, necessarily.

    And don't make suppositions like "they made Arcee, they should make us this." Arcee is a toy being produced from a discontinued line and a cancelled cartoon. You should feel lucky this toy even got produced, and Toys R Us agreed to sell it exclusively. It could just as easily have fallen under the Arcee toy curse.

    I agree, since we really need an Omega Toy. They skipped the Animated one and now we have War for Cybertron? They can't keep throwing OS at us knowing how much we want him. I'm sure Hasbro will release one either Leader or another larger-than-average class.

    To be honest, I feel that almost ALL figures with electronics made in the past 5 years would have been 1000% times better without them.

    So does that mean you'd (hypotheticaly) buy any that (hypotheticaly) don't sell? A guarantee is a guarantee, after all. :)

    I just don't see Hasbro making one ever again, at least not any larger than leader class. To be honest I would love to see them make a leader class Omega, preferably Animated Omega.

    I'd so love to see an Animated Omega Supreme. My dream? Big enough to be compatable with Animated Activators.

    I think we might see another one someday, and I agree with those clamouring for an Animated OS. However I think that the most likely way to see OS again will be if Michael Bay uses the character in a movie. Then they'll have to make one, even though it would probably look terrible IMHO.

    I think that Devestator disaster will make hasbro very leary of releasing another expensive large figure that no one will buy...It was so poorly done and so costly no one wanted it and the supreme prime for animated did not doe well either...which is a shame because i belive if they had done an Animated Omega it would have selled well if designed well and marketed well, which animated was never done anyways...I think the bigger figs may be a thing of the past which is a shame

    True. This makes me die a little on the inside, because now I could have afforded to buy them.
