The first time I was aware of the abbreviated autobot lineup was the Armada video game. I remember thinking that it was a corporate desicion and that it would be that way in future versions of transformers but I don't recall what triggered that realization. Maybe it was because Hotshot and ratchet where uninteresting to play and it was clear they where picked for other reasons. It wasn't until some of the old characters appeared in prime that I felt like things where moving past that. Not that I've payed much attention to main line stuff since TFA though.

 

I wonder if I don't eat enough fast food. You guys seem like real connoisseurs.

 

My personal favorites are Checkers and Sonic. Partly because they're not in convenient places so they're still special. I'm actually bored of McDonalds.
Taco Bell's bean burrito and breakfast stuff is delightful. Avoid their "edible beef food product".

I had to pull the plug last year. The load on my space already made it not fun, but the pain on my finances is another matter. This was easy when cyberverse was the most visible thing, but Seige is easily the purest transformers line we've had in ages. It's like karma.
I have found creating a google list of all the things that catch my eye instead of preordering has been helpful. It seems the satisfaction that I acknowledged liking it is all I need, but I have safely cooled on some things that would've been impulse purchases if I had the money.

 

my brother told me the other day the only fast food he likes is burgerking, but thats not surpricing since he is 95% of the time wrong about everything 

 

Vangelus' nigh irrational hatred for burger king and fanstoys will never cease to amuse

 

Actually the McNuggets have changed at least once, but I think twice. I know they switched from dark meat to all white meat a few years back. And maybe it’s just faulty memory on my part, but the way I remember it, this isn’t the first time they switched from dark meat to white meat.
