Certainly, but probably not the most favorable business move. :shrug Yes, and it would likely sell better too. Megatron always seems to be a shelf warmer. :tfpwn Because they're too scared to let Megatron BE Megatron (i.e., a gun! Or at the very least, a consistent weapon of war). Prime's ALWAYS a truck. :shrug

New Previews Transformers Universe MOTA Game Videos and Convention Updates
formerly nortagem replied to BaCon's topic in News
I think the idea to have unique bots detached from what's already out there, while furthering a continuity, if I understand the creators correctly, somewhere along the lines of Generations and TF:Prime...refreshing! Looks like a fun game. :thumb -
So, I took my son to TRU this evening (his $5 was burning a hole in his pocket for a pack of Pokemon cards!), and while there I had to peruse by the Transformers aisle. Pathetic. Here we are in the 30TH ANNIVERSARY of Transformers, and what's on the shelf? A big hunkin' piece of plastic Starscream in a giant box for $99! Kre-O garbage hanging above it and a few left over TF:Prime figs. Now, I can't just blame TRU...I'm seeing the same pattern at Wally World and Target. So, WTH, Hasbro? It's just about Bayverse now? I know there's more scheduled, but honestly, there's little coming down the pike that I've been impressed with. No wonder I find myself more intrigued with third party offerings these days...and no wonder why they're coming out of the woodworks. Yet, most of the time, I'm unable to afford them (I get it, costs more for smaller guys to produce...but still). It's just all really frustrating to see Transformers' 30TH ANNIVERSARY here and not much to celebrate in the realm of Hasbro's offerings. Thoughts? :shrug

I'm still here as well, brethren. Life, and the older we get, makes it a little more sporadic these days. Can't argue about Bayverse and that travesty, but Hasbro's made its own bed as well. Actually, let me save that rant for a different thread. There are still collectors among us. Keep the faith! ;)

Excellent stop motion! Harryhausen would be proud. Too bad they didn't green screen that background! :doh
