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

I'm in the same boat. I mean, if I had to choose two TF series that were the most radicaly different from each other than to any other series, it would have to be Animated and Movie.

Plus my sadness at the cancelation of TF:A's cartoon is offset by the fact we're still gonna get the last Animated toys eventually, including the awesome Arcee.

I LOVED TF:A, but I still want the RoTF Toys. Oh well.'In a world of peaches, don't ask for applesauce'. What a ridiculous quote.

I'm put off by the ROTF toyline based on their design style and my lack of interest in toucking the first movie's toys I do have. It doesn't have anything to do with the Animated show ending. The Animated show has ended, not the Animated toy line. I still see deluxes, activators and voyager shelf space at Target.

Besides, more Animated toys are coming so I can hold off and look forward to those. It's not as it was during Beast Machines, when alternatives to the mainline were nonexistent. I'd have skipped that line too had I been able to collect something like Universe and/or Animated instead. Hell, I should have skipped the majority of Armada too, in favor of Alternators.

I was super bummed when they said the series wasn't coming back...but they could always resurrect it down the line, or do a comic book tie-in. I think the pain of losing tfa was eased by the fact that we will be getting all those great looking figures sometime in the future

No because TFA looked like a 15 year olds fan fic and ROTF does not.

I cant say much on story content since writing for TV and writing for the big screen is different and their aimed at different age groups plus ROTF is not even out yet...

Nope. I feel that TFA was great, but every once in a while, I like a good old fashioned summer flick. The toys also have their own nice feel to them. I'm happy that from July on, we won't be getting main line TF toys that are what we've come to expect from the line. Both styles are radically different, and I'm really happy about that.

Smokescreen.

Animated didn't ruin anything for me, I'm looking forward to seeing ROTF in 2 weeks' time.

And Sideswipe is one of the best TFs I've brought in a while (since Ani Leader Bulkhead, in fact)

Thanks for stopping by, though. It was insightful.

Yeah so.....

The opposite. The new movie will help me forget that TF:A ever happend.

TF: A hasn't affected my enthusiasm for the new movie. If anything, Classics/Universe has. It just made me realize that, even though I liked the first movie and I'm excited for ROTF, the movie designs just aren't as "Transformers" to me as are the more traditional Transformers designs. I understand the reasoning behind the movie designs, but it just doesn't work for me as well as Classics/Universe does.

ROTF Leader Prime is sheer brilliance, though.
