    Great, so the only thing they have to say, in regards to anything not G1 is "Dunno, maybe in the far future, who knows, who cares" while the only thing of substance they have to say is, as always, about G1. Yesterday, when I saw an indication Earthspark might not be as 80s pandering as I was expecting, I was thinking I should give Transformers another chance, but then Hasbro literally couldn't go a single day without obsessing over G1, while dismissing everything else.

    Oh, yeah. I have been advocating for the Pretender Beasts to be retooled into BW characters for a long time but that only works if they get rid of the shells and incorporate the organic alt-modes into the figures.

    I'd gladly take a more Sins Of the Wreckers inspired Carnivac that can be retooled into Wolfang.

    i grew with beast wars but been honest i wouldnt like toy only characters, before going that way please give me characters that appear on shows, just give me transmetals, fuzors and transmetals 2 , i honestly dont like the approach of the animated and prime figures i think they should be keep in their own style, instead of g2 or toy only characters from g1, g2 , bay movies, i would prefer if they concentrate in car robots like spychangers, skybyte, bruticus , unicron trilogy, an animated omega supreme , animated constructicons, prime airachnid or bombshell

    So you didn't watch the interview or read the highlights because literally nothing indicated that they are just gonna go back to all G1 again. You just want to be mad for the sake of being mad. Maybe you should take a step back from Transformers and collect yourself because this is not healthy behavior.

    I can get behind that, though I'm also okay with any version of Sentinel Prime they import into G1.

    And I never claimed that they said that. But anything non-G1 is clearly just a minor element, tossed into Legacy and stripped of anything that made it cool and unique, in favour of further 80s pandering. They're primary focus continues to be G1 and only G1 and I am done with it and I will be stepping back, simply due to a complete and total disinterest in what Hasbro's doing with the brand.

    You literally claimed they said those things in your previous comment.

    If this hobby is making you this agitated then perhaps it would be best to step away.

    And they also upscaled him and added two core class figures along with additional weapons and a stand/throne (if he hits those tiers). This release method makes way more sense considering Star Saber was a Haslab as well. And Hopefully the next one will be Liokaiser or Road Ceaser

    You say "Greed", I say the TF team wanting to offer the best iteration they could manage instead of a heavily compromised Leader class figure, with no Breastbeasts included, who VS would absolutely humongously loom over BUT only if enough fans want him.
    (And no I'm not a dedicated Backer, though full disclosure I may be swung to go in on him by a successful run.)

    Despite attempt after attempt...

    Transformers was borne from Diaclone. To Diaclone, it will always return. This is the way.
