    I never understood why to limit the audience so much. Outside the US, the series was shared via Youtube almost when the series was about to end. Now they are using Tumblr which is not popular around here in Latin America at least.

    ‘Cause you tasted blood in the water, @RodimusSupreme, like the lot of us.

    Now, I haven’t torrented in some years, but I’m sure the files are up on some sites, somewhere, @Rated X, besides mirrors on YouTube or Dailymotion. Or, perhaps they’ll wind-up on anime streaming sites...though that’s somewhat less likely.

    And, since tumblr has been hosting media for longer and is necessarily more open/forward facing than other social media platforms, that makes some sense that Hasbro turned to them, @Black Convoy. Also, Tumblr and Hasbro are both on headquartered on the East Coast, but that might be a stretch~ ^.^

    But, I suppose it’s possible that go90 will dissolve into Oath, or whatever that service gets called. I also imagine that we were supposed to pronounce it go-go, but that’s a no-no, and I presume nobody ever said that. Still, I would imagine that if Verizon is still trying to do a video service, having any content will be better than none.... maybe.

    It sucks if anyone's losing employment over this, but at least that'll probably end the Machinima series.

    This is the main reason why I wished the arcade games TMNT, X-Men, and The Simpsons were released on physical discs instead of just Xbox Live back in the day. Missed out on them since I had no Xbox 360 at the time, so now I'm screwed. Oh well...

    The Machinima's Prime Wars Trilogy sucked on many, many levels, so in all honesty, I can't say that I care one way or another. And on a somewhat unrelated note, am I the only one who thinks that Oath is one truly stupid name for a company? Ugh...

    *shrug* Not really that big of a deal. The next batch of older fan material wasn't likely to go to that platform anyway.
    And I'm sure the prime wars trilogy will find a combined home release somewhere, and if not, we will likely see it as part of future home media incentives again.

    Though may or may not skip the Bumblebee movie since he's not in the trilogy. And it doesn't quite fit to Cyberverse's age demographic either.
    Could definitely see it as a dvd release packaged across three future boxsets though like how Classics started with the Prime vs Megatron set, and the Animated Prime vs Megatron set.
    They really haven't done a dvd release like that in a long time, and since this does feature Optimal Optimus/Primal, that would be fitting since it was Beast Wars that first started those kinds of releases. Or if they're feeling really benevolent, all of it on one special Optimal Optimus release for the winter season sales. Or spring 2019 for the easter egg.

    This is what happens when you don\'t cancel something you should have.

    I was never sure if the choppy animation was because of Go90 or Machinima..... I'm going to guess both ;) 
    Good riddance. I'm hoping that the "war" to establish one's own streaming service comes to a close soon. I liked it better with fewer good options VS everyone having their own substandard thing.

    And they though they could compete with YouTube and Netflix:D 

    Also, limiting it to the US only likely didn't help them.
