They did this with Animated. No surprise they're doing it with Prime. Look at the timing. Cutting things short in time to start ramping up promotion of the 4th movie. Hasbro has lost touch and I doubt they're gonna regain it without having surgery to remove their head form a rearward orifice.

Damn right, on both accounts. And it took until just now for me to even factor in those lame-assploding Michael Bay films...didn't even think to add those into the equation! That's how much they meant to me... :awsum:poop

Never even thought about that guys. Very disappointing!!!

Hey, they're not all that memorable. :shrug

 

Ah yes, a Transformers movie. What is this, the third line of Transformers that it has stunted/killed?

At the very least...more if you factor in the various sub-lines... :BS

The end of Prime has gotten both me and my son ticked off. I grew up with G1 but Beastwars and BeastMachines sucked so bad ( seriously it was so lame when one of them would fall apart and then would be complete again after the next comercial, and rattrap and Cheetor were way more annoying than even that Animated brat kid and she was the worst kid character ever ) that I had lost all interest in the transformers cartoons until Prime came out. The cartoons between beastMachines and Prime were somewhat ok but some of the character designs changed to much for no reason other than to push out more crappy toys. If they are doing something new they should keep the Prime feel but take it in a different direction like the G1 movie and or bring out some characters that have not seen daylight since G1 ( Cosmos, Astrotrain, Sunstreeker , SeaSpray ( any of the G1 minibots but BB ), true Insecticons , all 5 G1 dinobots, Skylinx, the true Predaking and the combiners that have the G1 feel but updated ( voyager body and deluxe limbs ). BumbleBee and the others are still good characters but to much of them will kill them in the hearts of fans forever. Just when I find a transformers cartoon that both my son and I can watch together this happens. Sure the Beast Hunters idea was lame ( lets just put some new tooling on the same molds and no one will notice we just did another repaint ) but it still sounded like it could have a chance with the right story lines. Hopefully someone in hasbro will decide to go for it and let it have a forth season before it dies off.

It got 3 or 4 seasons. That sounds about right for EVERY major TF show. I'm not convinced going a little longer will cause the brand to go stale but I'm sure kids need to have their attentions kept. Prime will probably live through comics. Just about every other popular canon does. Although whatever it gets it won't ever be to the effect of G1 and Beast Wars (rightly so).

 

Bring on the next show. Prime never clicked with me.

Prime was a good show, but IMO it was a lot more sad when it happened to Animated. As time went on I got tired of Prime's depressing, "grimdark" setting and seeing Optimus as a boring, somewhat one-dimensional side character. The toys were good though and still continue to be.

 

Agreed. Animated's ending felt rushed and forced because they knew the show was getting cut short. Just ONE more season could have done so much. Bummed me out so hard. Prime was just boring. The animation was cool and the characters were fine but the story just bored me out of my skull. I forced myself to watch season 1 and started watching season 2 but lost interest very quickly.

Shame really, Prime was just hitting it's stride IMO. Not sure about BH but I was willing to at least watch the series but had no interest in the toy line. I agree with BW as far as how they are approaching things, hap-hazard at best as I can see from my little corner of the world. In regards to TF 4, they better do something impressive, after the handling(or lack thereof) of the last bit of toys from DOTM and the lackluster pieces put out, I'll be avoiding that line too.

 

C'mon Hasbro, it's bad enough you have to get cable and a specific tier to get your channel to watch your shows(ya know those average poor kids only get the local channels...), but then to cut a series short, and then put out "MEH"/half hearted toys for a early, soon-to-be-cancelled series..Is your math and logic circuits in need of servicing?

Didn't even think about that.....seems like when they pick up momentum, they go and change or cancel stuff. I bet that all the really good figures will be in the last wave and most stores will decide not to carry them because they want to make room for all the TF4 stuff. I am already seeing Iron Man 3 stuff and it looks like total garbage IMHO. At least we will finally get our GI Joe Retaliation movie this year....which looks like it's going to be a good....I'm excited for it!
