    That would suck, as the toys are cheap and easy to find. I don't want them to be hasbro-ized.

    Wow, nice acquisition for Hasbro. And they can't be bothered to replace a Brunt.

    Hope it turns out better...

    Could have been interesting to see Hasbro purchase Lucas arts.

    That’s probably waaay less likely now. Why bother rebooting dead franchises when you can just make money off living one’s? It’s like Disney’s relationship with Tron. “Let’s try to build up that dormant franchise! What’s that? We own Star Wars now? Oh, well let’s just milk that.”

    Man, think of Hasbro for once! How else are they going to fund this endeavor? I mean, seriously. You think replacing Brunt is cheap for a multi-billion dollar conglomerate who's business is producing toys, including the one mentioned? It's utterly daft, man! You can't expect them to do their jobs!

    Oh, c'mon now. You know you love it. Everyone wants a transforming Peppa Pig that raps and throws up gangsta signs and her albums will be on Death Row Records. *throws up the Vulcan salute* Y'all better represent the UK and the P I G!

    Now I'm sad I'll never see Optimus prime fight Peppa Pig

    So Entertainment One is basicly a Movie and TV Production Company. Guess we\'ll get more Transformers, Power Rangers, Hasbro Movies and TV shows in less time. Don\'t see a really big difference other then Hasbro will profit from the Regular movies and shows they make.
