But in most of the questions have been asked before and anything regarding letting us know things they say they can't comment.They've said they've no intention of making individual robot and vehicle toys for Scrapper and Hook/Hightower ,like most fans want the full set seein as how we're getting four constructicons individually why not make the 5th and 6th?Yeah it'd cost money but why not do them instead of repaints or some of the new non movie figures coming out.
I've read some of those burning questions stuff and its like they pick the same questions again and again,either that or there's some people on the boards posting the same questions that've already been answered.
In my opinion fans should be shown certain designs and asked to vote on one outta three say and that character make it into the movie series.I think they listen to fans somewhat like in movie 1 Bay caved under pressure from fans on certain things but this time it was like ah fuck them.In movie 1 some designs were leaked early and the teams seemed to take the positive and negative feedback on board.This time round we had to see the toys before judgement could come down when it was too late in some cases already because of the ridiculous secrecy and misdirection.That was really giving the middle finger to the fans so fans couldn't bash the designs of some(Arcee and her sisters).

I'm guessing the fact that it's money being spent on making toys people might not buy. They're a business first and foremost and they gotta make the stuff they think they can sell, and with some characters it just might not be worth it for 'em to do. It's all aboot maximising profits with what they've got and recent economic bullcrap seems to've fecked up a whole lot o' stuff. Yeah, I hate it when that happens! It happens a lot. I think the webmasters support certain questions more than others and then the company probably ignores any questions they don't want to talk about. That's one way of looking at it but on the other hand, the fans all disagree with each other. It's hard getting two fans of any franchise to agree on ANYTHING. The fans are all mentals. I think movie makers need to listen to the fans at first, like you're saying, and that 3 designs idea would be awesome if they did that. But once production is in full swing of a movie, they need to do their own thing and have their own defined vision for the film. Listening to fans too much would result in a poor piece of crap that performs badly at the box office. Done as a proper live action version of the G1 cartoon, a TF movie would probably be popular with thousands of people all over the world, instead of MILLIONS that the Bayverse stuff is. As poor as the reviews of ROTF are, the films done gangbusters at the cinema. It's widened the fanbase significantly (along with the first movie), it enabled other versions of the franchise to be produced (TF Animated) and it's let us have buttloads of all-new toys instead of random reissues of 80's stuff. A big budget fanfilm wouldn't do that, unfortunately. Look at Superman Returns, which was the biggest budgeted fan-film of all time so far; it effectively killed off one of the most powerful iconic fictional characters of all time. All because the director didn't have a good vision for the character and instead tried to rip off a previous version and "give the fans what they wanted"... which, in the end, was the opposite of what the fans wanted. Fuckin' Bryan Singer.

I agree with you fans can be the making of their own downfall and Superman returns was terrible.Superman has an excellent villain in Doomsday(Supermans only real good villain).Make those two fight and that would've been deadly instead of boring Lex Luthor.
X-men 3 was another bad one too cause people wanted Phoenix and more mutants(which has killed x-men credibility).Why was Cyclops so bitchy and whiny?I seen the same actor in sex drive and he was brilliant and the attitude he had in sex drive should've been his in x-men(fuckin bendin over to wolverine,that is the writers and the directors faults).The only two characters they nailed were prof x and Beast .
Hasbro is a busines and I understand where you're comin from but it seems at times we don't get what we individually want which is my issue LOL.Some of their decision making at times is quite bizzare.
I agree with you bout the asking Hasbro questions it seems they more than liekly pick questions to suit themselves.

There's a big thing about them screwing up a bonus figure at a recent convention. The two big companies don't seem to know their elbows from their arses. I think they've got too many people working on seperate lines and it's confusing 'em all. They keep bringing out peg-fillers in mad doses and holding back the awesome figures. I really don't know what's going through their collective minds...

They seriously failed for the ROTF line. So much shite, only a few diamonds. And their lack of QC within this line, Animated and Universe is obscene. Loose joints are the bane of many a good transformer. As are poor paint jobs. I dont remember any of my 80's Transformers toys suffering from those issues.

I dont remember any of my 80's Transformers toys suffering from those issues. That's coz they didn't have many joints! They were square plastic bricks with stickers on. Hasbro messed up a lot of stuff with the INdy Jones line though that wasn't really QC so much as boring poorly-articulated toys. Not much fun in 'em at all except for a few. And of course all their Marvel Legends stuff. Man, this has gotten way off topic!

I could use Metroplex, the deluxe Insecticons, combiners like Predaking and Computron to counter that. They were more complex with more details than even the earlier G1 lines. Heavy Load(Universe repaint of Energon Quickmix) is a brick of a character and suffers from terribly messy paint apps and poor joints.

He was bitchy and whiny from x1-3.Like Cyclops lettin Wolverine call him a dick and all total bullshit and the stay away from my girl lark he should've put Wolverine in his place.Yeah it would be upsettin and Wolverine was upset but he let it go.
Make those two fight and that would've been deadly instead of boring Lex Luthor.
BLASPHEMY!
The only incarnation of Luthor I like is Michael Rosenbaum from the smallville show.Luthor has been used in like four films like give Supermans ultimate villain some time.Doomsday should be Supermans arch nemisis that everyone should know, Doomsday should be the joker to Batman and the green goblin to Spider-man.He's very powerful and the way he was portrayed in Smallville was great he was far more interesting than Luthor and imagine millions being spent on their digital fights it'd be amazing.

I didn't see him as whingey. Just more mature and reserved. Wolverine is a manchild, full of testosterone and aggression. Cyclops is the "good guy". But he was always a little whiney. In the comics, cartoons and in the 3rd flick. Mmm. A fight between Supes and Doomsday would be cool, by Lex Luthor is his true nemesis. He's the only one who can bring Superman to his needs without the need of brute force, by using his intelligence. Him and Batman are much smarter than Superman.
