>>8963036Because the "winning formula" has grown stale. It's not just UT shit I want to see, I want to see more Beast Wars reimaginings, updated RID2001 dudes that aren't just Sky-Byte for the nth time, CHUG'd versions of some Animated/Cyberverse designs, more weird Japanese-only stuff like Road Caesar or Raiden get acknowledged, hell even some late-G1 stuff like Pretenders or Action Masters that got reimagined to have proper transformations like what HFTD did with Bludgeon or Generations did with Skullgrin. Hell maybe even get ballsy and work in some Diaclone or Brave references into a new series or something, fuck if I know.
After 15 years of Classics/Generations stuff recycling through the same-old '84/'85/'86 cast over and over again I'm just tired. Between official releases and some third party stuff I've got my ideal representation of those characters already, and I don't need to go out and buy Starscream #7 when I think Starscream #5 is good enough as it is. This is a 37 year old franchise, there is way more shit to draw inspiration from than just the same first 3 years of G1 over and over again.
