Did the greatness that is TF:A ruin the new movie for you?

ROTF line of toys is one of the worst TF lines I've ever seen in my life....

I can't pick a single one I would like to own. THe first movie had some good ones but this one is just horrible....

Having Animated canceled at first killed my fun feeling concerning Transformers. I knew there were some of the movie figures that I was going to get. But, with Animated gone I kind of felt I would just scale way way back. Even when I was feeling this way, I knew that wouldn't be the case when the ROTF stuff started hitting the shelves... and if that didn't get me, seeing the new movie would.

Animated definatly ended before it's time. There was so much potential both in the cartoon and toys yet to be tapped. The show was at it's highest point in what I wanted and expected to see with Transwarped. I so wanted the Rodimus and Char teams to become regulars on the show. I prefer lots of characters... and Animated always felt like to small a cast... and Transwarped to me was perfect. It would have been great if Animated could have been allowed to grow to this level. Reality is though that Animated is over and I love Transformers enough to stick with it.... because of all this creative energy surrounding Transformers... I keep falling in love again and again.

Er you got to like Prime at least, he is stunningly brilliant.

And then Sideswipe and Human Alliance Bumblebee are also right up there. Voyager Starscream is pretty cool to.

But I will concede on the rest. I think the issue for me is that there are a lot of toys that aren’t good enough in ROTF where as with Movie 1, although some of the toys were disappointing you only needed to buy a few to get the whole series, making it much more palatable.

You don't like Leader Optimus? I don't know how others feel, but I'm almost thinking it might be the best Prime ever made.

...or how about the three Human Alliance figures we've seen? Those are pretty cool.

Bayformers appeals to me in a very different way than Animated appeals to me, so to me the two coexist with each other just perfect. Just too bad Animated is gone now.

You know, a question was asked and he anwered. Just because you don't like that answer doesn't mean a darn thing. I've never cared for this, 'if you don't agree with us, you can leave' mentality.

I'm sure I will buy ROTF figures once I see the movie. But this is the first time ever I saw a new figure on the shelf that I need and walked away from it.

If the first movie is a sign all figures will be available for the next year and a half.

I think its the whole Animated thing and the knowledge that the movie figures won;t see out that has me waitin gon the figures.

I miss Animated and ALLLLL the potential toys not being made. Omega Supreme, The eventual Devistator and so many other greats.

Now that's funny. I believe the original poster went out of his way to not only gloss the question, but then belittle the original point. Hardly a response conducive to discussion, right?

If he wants to discuss things, I'll discuss things. If he wants to shout how awesome the movie is there is a place for that.

RANT: It seems to be a common occurrence whenever someone posts an intelligent conversation about Animated, some malcontent drops in to stir the pot. It makes it hard to have a reasonable discussion about Animated, in the ANIMATED FORUM, while there still is a forum. I directed him to where that line of reasoning would be appreciated.

No.

Two greatly different series, barely or not even comparable. Love each equally.

I don't think TF:A Ruined the new movie for me. I try to keep an open mind and in this case a different take on Transformers. What I do expect of toys, action figures is that they are as closely accurate as they are with they on screen counterpart. Animated toys are very well done, as are the new movie figures. Optimus Prime in the movie is very well represented by the toy, more movie accurate. That's all I can ask for...
