I don't get it either, I think it's Hasbro trying to do us a favor despite generations already have a cartoon commercial, an old one though, but still.

 

...combiner wars was even worse in that regard; at least new titan returns toys will still be in stores this time around...

...at the rate they’re going, it looks like we can expect about six months of relevant toys after the power of the primes machinima releases next fall...

...nah, while these new toylines are definitely insprired by G1, they substantially reinterpret that material to do their own thing: the generations toys really hew more closely to the IDW comics than the old cartoons, if for no other reason than that IDW material is concurrently developed to feature aspects of the current toys...

 

So...I left this show because of how they treated Maxima.I watched 4 min of E1.Maybe I'll cringe watch this.Idk.

 

I don't see that at all. At most, IDW makes a half-ass attempt to do a comic tie-in to the toys after the fact. Example: the pitiful Titans Return event. A couple of the figures look like versions of the IDW characters, like Chromedome (and even then, not the current comics version), but not many. Mostly, the TR line looks more like updated G1 characters than IDW, and IDW makes pretty much zero attempt at using the fiction set up by the toyline.

 

Megatron is amazing. It's literally the only selling point

 

I would. I think he did an excellent job. In all honesty, the majority of the VA cast was perfectly servicable. I'd take almost any over Jason David Frank, that's for sure.

 

Because the show isn't needed to promote the toyline. It'll sell either way. The show is for the dedicated fans. Which seemingly tend to whine to no end and keep calling hasbro names for trying to give them material and stories to enjoy. It's a thankless job apparently.

 

I'll just wait for GeeWun Redone's version to release, that way I'll know that it'll all be done right.

 

Indeed. I wish the TF sites would embargo the Hasblo version and post news of the Geewun Reedun version as the "official" version.

Remember folks, there was NO live action Street Fighter film, which DIDN'T star Jean-Claude Vandam...

 

I think I might be the only person on the entire forum who is at least very reservedly, very marginally looking forward to this.  

 

Your not alone . I am looking forward to this far more than any other fiction since beast wars
