    ^If you truly love something you take of for the good and the bad.
    You love ot regardless for who it is because you know what it is at it's core and you'll stay with through bad times because it's there for you in the good.


    Many people don't love Transformers. I do, For all that they are and always will.
    I may not like somethings, But I'm still here and I have the patience and love to see through it.

    Some of you can rationalize away absolutely anything with "but it's for kidz!1," kind of like a Bizarro version of /toy/...

    Well the nice thing about this franchise is you're never stuck with anything forever- mythos, toys, shows, characters- they're all subject to change eventually.

    If you don't like whats being offered this go around, perhaps you will next time.

    I almost feel like third party is helping Hasbro a little by keeping long term fans into the franchise. Even if they buy third party instead of Hasbro sometimes, otherwise they might not buy Hasbro at all.

    Alternatively; not everyone finds the existence of different demographics to be upsetting.

    I think I'll do what I did for Prime and stick to the Cyberverse stuff. Even if it looks like they might be sticking to one size class rather than the two we got for TFP. I might also get the larger figures of the designs/characters I really like. I have the feeling that Sideswipe's inevitable Deluxe has a good chance at making it's way into my collection.

    And some of us actually have the sense to expect more kid oriented items rather than collector oriented items.

    Eh, probably won't be picking much up this time around. Yes I'm happy cyberverse is back, but the designs leave me rather lukewarm. Still early and things might change.

    I am curious if they'll follow with Prime and have some non-show characters thrown into the mix. Tend to like those more than the main cast offerings.

    Man did Hasbro miss a huge opportunity by dropping the cyberverse/legion-commander class with AOE. Was so looking forward to having pocket sized fruity pebble colored dinos for my desk. :(

    Glad that we'll still have Cyberverse. They're nice little pocket-size Transformers that look good on your desk. I don't see any details about Voyager Class, which is concerning...

    I wish we could do upvoting on this site. Because this post deserves an upvote.

    Yes it would. Especially if paired with the Ark from DOTM. And who here also wants a Cyberverse Galvatron/Lockdown/Hound/AOE Prime?

    Apologies if anyone has already said this, but does anybody else find it disconcerting the word Titan is used for the big basic non-transforming figures? Esp when Generations had just the one Titan Class fig...

    I'm keen to see the show before I make any judgment calls on the figures, but I do like the OP previewed early in the year.

    I think it's likely that we don't know all of the toyline so far so there's still a chance that we might get Voyagers in the line. We'll know for certain in the future.

    Hasbro is using that term for that product form across all their brands.

    And Hasbro made no secret of it way more than a year ago when the upscaled BH figures were announced that they'd be concentrating on making Generations and Masterpiece specifically for the collectors and everything else (i.e. the current animated series) geared towards children, who will grow up to be the next generation who will then 'graduate' into collectors buying the Generations figures as they become adults.

    The movies are the obvious exception with them having figures across both types of lines aimed at both groups.

    Of course there will be some adult collectors who'll want to collect figures from the new animated series, but they're not being specifically aimed at us so they're probably not going to make anything more complex or larger than the 'Warrior' figures. And the rebranding of the size class here tells you that it's included as part of the RID line rather than the usual Generations D/V/L size classification.

    It's good to see that Hasbro is perhaps realising that having a billion different assortments on shelves is a great way to confuse casual consumers. After AOE's mess of similarly-packaged product lines, a line of just four pricepoints is a breath of fresh air.

    There's a sensible spread of size and complexity across the line -

    Legions: small, many-step transformation.
    One-Step Changers: small-medium, simple transformation.
    Warriors: medium, many-step transformation.
    Hyperchange Heroes: large, simple transformation.

    - and hopefully they'll make sure these are each in distinctive packaging sizes/designs.

    Yes, it's a pity that Voyager and Commander assortments are absent from the line, but I think Hasbro's current default assumption is that the adult fanbase is mainly interested in Generations G1 homages, and, considering the bile some people spew over the movies and whatnot, I can hardly blame them for making it.

    Ha, I told myself I would do this for Prime, but the show won me over so that I got a good chunk of the mainline.

    Still, after my last collection purge, Cyberverse were the ones I kept.
