Man, f-ck Hasbro for real. "The Dinobots are done" - them seeing any more $$$ from ME until they produce a new dinobot is what's done.
Yeah, Verge really added a lot of hyperbole to sell this story. Tieger didn't save the Dinobots, but Hasbro also doesn't seem to view them as an integral part of the current state of the brand. And I agree with that: the Dinobots really don't have a place in the grounded disguise elements in the forefront of the brand's identity, and from the article, it seems Hasbro rejected the initial Dinobot pitch because it was Dinobots for the sake of Dinobots. Once they gave a REASON for the Dinobots to be a part of the game, it appears Hasbro had no issue with it.
LOL. I'm glad I caught this too, since these are the first in-game pics of the Dinobots we've seen besides Swoop and Snarl in the backround. :3
I'd love to hear how the "No More Dinobots" stuff is going to reconcile how the TFPrime team's told us repeatedly that they're in the long-term plans for the show. Either that or Tieger's just being a drama queen here.
Oh please. Read the actual article. Hasbro more or less said "We understand you want to use the Dinobots, but we can't just use them for the sake of using them. You need to make it work." The whole thing is a fluff piece made to make Tieger out to be some sort of champion. It's bullhocky.
All I read was "OOHH DINOBOTS LOOK DINOBOTS REMEMBER DINOBOTS OH DINOBOTS." Dinobots suck. I'm tired of Matt Tieger riding that same line without actually explaining what's so great about them. It's the same stale canned hype with no substance or anything suggesting that the people making the game have any idea what makes a good game. Gimmicks and names do not make a good game. No. The Author is still and idiot and Matt Tieger is still a tool. Exactly. What can the Dinobots do that can't be done with other, better characters?
Tieger's a big blowhard, and the article writer is a shmuck. Keep playing that song, Matt, it just makes you look like a complete moron. How's about you talk about the actual game and not this weak gimmick?
Yeah, Tieger's full of himself, and wants to make himself out to be a big hero. We know the Prime guys want to do Dinobots. We just had them in Animated. We just had an MP Grimlock. There's no sign that Hasbro wants to be done with the Dinobots. Just because they're not actively used every single year doesn't mean that Hasbro is done with them Hasbro just saw Tieger wanting to use the Dinobots on Cybertron with no explanation given as to how, and told him to fix that. He fixed it. Big fucking deal.
Matt Tieger must be some kind of space t-rex alien that is trying to fool us with space dinosaur propaganda or something. That is the only explanation for him to keep repeating that shit so fucking much. Well that and him trying to bait dumb nostalgiacows into playing TRUE TRANSFORMERS G1 STAN BUSH FOREVER FUCK MICHAEL BAY YEHAW
Space T-rex does get annoying at times, but I must respect High Moon for fighting for Grimlock. I'm hoping this will lead to Hasbro opening their eyes and seeing just how wrong they are to throw the Dinobots under the rug. One of the main draws to the new FOC game IS Grimlock and his Dinobots. Even in the movies, one of the characters many fans wanted to see was Grimlock, especially considering how he'd work with Bay's action scenes. If Hasbro doesn't come out to reveal a FOC Grimlock toy this Botcon, I think they'd be extremely foolish for passing up such a great tie-in product.
