    Well I can respect the fact that youre openly admitting youre not an adult. But obviously youre not a kid either. My posts are referring to kids that seem to be non-existant in the majority of todays fandom.

    I like the Generations Warpath a lot, but this one looks great too. And he’s not an H-tank!

    Thats cool. I can respect that. Obviously youre not a kid though. But my question to you would be, how do you feel about obscure G1 characters from 35 years ago being the main focus ? Are they cool ? Or or would you prefer Hasbro to focus on reimaging just the core characters like Prime, Megatron, Bee, Starscream, etc. ? Or to be more blunt, do you think voyager scale Quintison Judge is lit ? Or did you look at it and be like ugly AF ? ;)

    Thats fair. But I'm just saying that they're not nonexistent. I've also cared for kids at Bible camps who brought in transformer toys, generations and all. And you're ignoring the important factor: youtube. Adults are responsible to an extent. But youtube videos aimed at kids often encourage them to overbuy, with no understanding of consequences. It was a problem to the point where articles on Ryan George and others like him focused on such issues,

    Since DiU, obviously. He's a mix of Echoes and Bad Company.
    We can take a tally for those for and against, and display it as a KD Ratio, if you will
    The Core versions of prior released characters
    I like how this list lists the Ark as if it's been confirmed yet has Commander as TBA when I think Rodimus has been just as likely to be placed there. We either know both or know either

    In this thread? I know it has a separate news post but I don't believe it's been posted here.

    I've been contemplating Blackarachnia's beast mode for a while and I've decided it could have been much better. I think Hasbro should have replaced the eyes on her pelvis with the more realistic eyes and just used that as the head. The palps shouldn't have been false kibble, in my opinion. That stops you having the back kibble and makes for a more coherent overall result in both modes - no false kibble anymore, and the real kibble is incorporated into a good robot mode. And considering the back kibble she now has (which I actually think looks really good in robot mode), I don't think there's an excuse for how much visible kibble there is in the spider mode.

    I could "state" that most of my itching comes from crabs, but if I dont go to a doctor and get it checked out, how do I prove it ? Thats just me being funny for the record. But Hasbro doesnt have a system to tell the age of the buyers. Half of the product is solld online through retailers that cater to hardcore collectors. Do you shop at BBTS or The Chosen Prime for random birthday gifts ? And scalpers snatch up half of the new stock and hoarde it in their basements waiting for high spending collectors to buy them at triple the cost. But as far as Hasbro is concerned every one of these units has been sold to a happy, smiling kid between the ages of 5-10 years old. And thats not even counting the units in walmart and target that manage to beat the scalpers. Not to mention the overstock that ends up in Ross and TJ Maxx for 1/3 the price. Whos keeping track of the age of all these buyers ? How do they do it ? Its easy to put out a statement if youre a corporation. People tend to believe an "offical" response and sidestep the hard questions.

    It was posted here, then moved to the thread. In other words, it's probably not meant to be here.

    The ironic thing is that the meme depicts exactly what I suspect whats going on at Hasbro HQ...

    I mean it should be here though, this is the news and rumor thread for KINGDOM essentially and Warpath is a KINGDOM figure.

    This thread is specifically about Beast Wars in WFC3, the Kingdom thread is a wholly different one.

    Why care what Tonton thinks about the figures?

    Personally I just watch the videos to see the figure in action, and couldn't care less what is said about the figure unless it actually affects something with the figure itself.

    Well in all honesty in the 80s it was reversed. You could argue that the checklists were reveals, but the cartoon months earlier was the actual reveal. G1 was the beginning. You might have wondered if the character you saw on the cartoon was going to get a toy ? (Not knowing as a kid that the toys were actually the Diaclone source material to create the cartoon) But now 35 years later you know all the characters. The "reveal" is who gets an update now. And the new mystery/teaser conceptvof reveals is more geared towards childrens minds. But if you look at where all the leaks are coming from, its adults. The leaks are by adults, for adults. Even most toy reviewers vear their reviews towards adults. You can tell theyre not making them with kids in mind. Kids are free to watch though. And im not saying some wont. But the reviews and leaks are all a testament to the heavebadult collector influence in the hobby.

    There isn't a KINGDOM thread on the News and Rumors board, there's a speculation thread on the Toy Discussion board but that's a whole different thing from actual information.

    This thread really should be renamed "Transformers Generations: War for Cybertron KINGDOM" like the EARTHRISE thread.

    All im gonna say to you is this: post a selfie from your Hasbro cubicle with a couple TF brand members and prove to me you know something. Or produce some images of stolen test shots like Ton Ton. If you cant produce either, then your opinions hold no more weight than mine, no matter how much you defend Hasbro's stance from your keyboard.
