Why hasn't Hasbro done this yet?
So many properties have been brought to that medium; GIJoe, bionicle, marvel characters, dc characters, even barbie and my little pony...
I'd love to see some direct to DVD movies for Transformers they could do classics, war within, Transtech, or give us some Gathering style Beast Wars stories
I'm just curious why they haven't hit this idea up yet...

Wait, let me rephrase that. I'd kill for a Beast Wars prequel or a Transtech direct to DVD release. JOIN THE ROGER EBERT FAN CLUB | Sales Thread | |

There are a lot of story lines they could draw off of/expand on or new ones they can create. I'd like to see a Beast Wars feature detailing Starscream's creation of the indestructible spark that was implanted into Rampage, leading to the subsequent massacre of Colony Omicron and Depthcharge's relentless pursuit for revenge. Classics, War Within, G1, IDW stuff, etc....something with a good story and great animation. | |

Most straight to video releases have crap animation, some lame story(or some version of a creation type story) that's been done already, or some sort of silly crossover type thing. | |

The stories are pretty good. What I'd really love is a war within movie diorect to dvd. That series was really popular and a direct to dvd would be awesome.

Were there any GI-JOE videos put out while the Sigma Six program was on the air? I'm not sure.  How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end | |

I own Ultimate Avengers 1 and 2 and Bionicle 1 and 2 and I like them a lot! I want to see Iron Man and Superman  oomsday. I won't watch Dr Strange, I don't care for the character.
What made me think of this was my girlfriends daughter watches the Barbie D2V's CONSTANTLY and I noticed one was made by Mainframe and it got me thinking about Beast Wars and such...
