If a show is 20-something years old does it even count as new and modern anymore? By this point, the Beast Era is ancient, old enough for its fans to have kids of their own, just slightly younger than the original '84 G1 crop. It would be like calling Pokémon 'new' just because its a younger Nintendo franchise than Mario and Zelda.
All except for Hot Shot, who, let's face it, was the Unicron Trilogy's breakout Autobot character as much as Sky-Byte was the breakout Predacon character of RiD 2001.Sentinel_Primal wrote:Skritz wrote:gothsaurus wrote:It’s so funny everyone wanting new and modern characters

More importantly, Beast Wars already has characters in the Hall of Fame. If that wasn't true, I'd be more willing to shrug it off, but because of how often Beast Wars wins the ballot whenever they put it on there, I can't help but feel like Hasbro has decided that because they want to focus on "G1's 35th Anniversary" they removed anything that could oppose that idea

It is a shame that the Hall of Fame vote is so restricted this year, because from what I've seen Studio Series has been offering better figures in 2019. Use the 35th anniversary excuse all you like (personally I've always interpreted the anniversaries as a celebration of the entire Transformers IP, not just one area of it) but Hasbro are really wearing their G1 bias on their sleeves now.
Either way, I went with Laserbeak for character and Ironhide for toy (I wonder why Ratchet isn't on there?).

Honestly I would like to see every single Studio Series toy destroyed with a sledgehammer, I hate the designs of these pieces of **** in the movies and the original LAM toys were **** and the Studio Series is just a more expensive versions of **** looking toys.
