    I’m shocked at this news. Agreed cancer is a $/&$; and that war continues. May his soul and his family find peace in these trying times. Live long and prosper. Till all are one.

    Hope you get through it mate. Wishing you all the best.

    RIP to Mr. Goldner.

    I'll just paraphrase one of my favorite comedian who also recently passed away from cancer himself:

    If you die of cancer, the cancer also dies with you. It's not a loss, that's a draw.

    Thank you, Mr. Goldner. For not only helping in the return of Transformers as a top tier brand for the fans of old but as something for fans of new as well. For also helping ones like My Little Pony also see a resurgence for young girls such as my soon to be 7 year old who loves the "Friendship is Magic" and "Pony Life" chapters of it. You've worked a great deal of miracles into reality and many of us will remain thankful to you for that. Rest in Peace, sir.

    So you're saying there's a job opening...

    Just kidding, deepest condolences to his family and friends and may he rest in peace.

    Awful news to read. I wasn't the biggest fan of some decisions Hasbro has made in the last few years but still this is bad news. Condolences to his family and RIP Mr. Goldner.
