    Okay then. I simply wanted to make the point things have become a little idle. It wouldn't hurt for Hasbro to at consider revitalizing the brand to draw in new followers. For example, they gave up on Kreo and Construct-bots, but they were still trying to do new things. That was all I meant, sorry if you people are fazed by any expression outside of constant enthusiasm...

    Why? Kre-O and Construct-a-Bots weren't particularly that notable in terms of sales, nor in the case of Kre-O the first time they tried making a competitor to LEGO.

    Plus, the brand is actually doing pretty well right now all things considered and Hasbro focusing on what the brand is strongest in doing; transforming robot action figures, is a lot more beneficial to the brand then trying to diversify as was attempted when the brand was at its height in the midst of the movie bubble.

    Really, what would attract more people to the brand isn't so much just more gimmick toylines, but a strong, well written media component, which sadly has been lacking since the end of Animated over a decade ago.

    Good. Back to the point of this thread my favorite part of this series was KO and Breakdown.

    Arguably not on screen, no, but I would say we did have the original IDW run over that decade, which even if someone wasn't a fan of the actual story being told it was at least some of the strongest, best written stories for Transformers we've ever received and garnered both critical praise and the attention of a lot of new eyeballs from people who were not already established fans and would have never given a second thought to Transformers fiction before.

    I hope Prime gets the Masterpiece treatment at some point.

    I really hope that they don’t, because if they do I’m going to be completely broke.
