Everyone has been begging for a transformers movie where the transformers are the focus and aren't a large junkyard looking mess and the second they make actually comprehensive movies, nobody shows up 😒
i think after the transformers 40th anniversary the future of the franchise will be very dark and Peter cullen is going more distance to be voice actor of optimus prime in cartoons just like what happens with Charles martinet the voice of super mario
6:17 Hasbro seems to forget that the reason they made shows was to sell toys. So they introduce new characters, show off gimmicks to either make kids beg their parents to buy toys or have adult collectors driving their wallets to their graves
3rd party is probably a good reason why their IP is failing..I'm G1 born and raised been collecting for 40yrs.Havent purchased a mainline since Kingdom.3rd party only now.Better product and seens the designers and manufacturers actually care.And not just a cash grab."they are made for kids"Is the excuse I hear.At $30+ for a 5" Deluxe is not for children.Quality and plastics have gone down immensely.When a 15-20yr old generations figure is of higher quality.
@EthanWoods-l7r legends scale has made 3rd party way more accessible for better qaulity figures.Granted they don't have the shelf presence nore the $300 price tag for an MP.IMO I'm way more impressed with my Iron Factory,Dr.Wu,Magic Square,Newage than any of my MPs.I mean a mainline Deluxe can be has high as $25+$30+ Core Class $10-20.

Hasbro's greatest collapse imho is caused by star wars and other disney merchandise. They could just re-release the High Moon games, but screw us I guess.
@@notamethadicta lot of franchises that should have just ended keep getting dragged out beyond their natural life and wind up corrupted or malformed. It's like the message of Dark Souls 3 or something. Transformers escapes this fate by creating a completely new era every few years with new characters and stuff but they haven't really done that in a while.
This has been a weird 40th anniversary. The Constructicons, G1 Megatron, and most of the things people care about regarding G1 are coming next year instead of on the shows 40th anniversary, there’s been ER levels of distribution without the excuses, and the one game people are exited for was probably shadow cancelled 2 years ago. The only thing that’s really felt like a high-effort celebration is TF One and that made no money. The only show is Earthspark, which switched things up in season 2 and lost a good part of the fans who were actually interested in the characters and story. It’s just sad to see the downhill turn they seem to be going in.
What’s with all persimism in this comment section? This year wasn’t so bad for the 40th anniversary of the franchise, have you seen the amount of new Optimus Prime figures released this year alone? Also what about the transfomers music video from studio trigger?
You mean that if TLK was originally 3 separate movies like it was originally planned, the Transformers franchise would have been way better off. Yup, I agree.
@@ashuraomega1000 if TLK hadn’t bombed, we never would’ve gotten BB, ROTB or One, the only 3 good TF movies from paramount. Had TLK been a success we would’ve just got more bayverse rubbish till the end of time. It may be over, but at least we have those 3 great movies now
I'm 100% sure Transformers Reactivate is cancelled. The toys of Optimus, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Starscream you see being sold are just Hasbro trying to clear stocks
Lots of people have blamed Paramount Pictures for Transformers One’s underperformance at the box office (Despite it becoming number 1 on digital), but I now think Hasbro is to blame here. If they didn’t care about the box office money for Transformers One and just focus on the review scores, they wouldn’t have to stop co-financing movies. That’s why we had three Transformers movies for the past 6 years, and they didn’t seem to care about the box office money for ROTB & Bumblebee. I don’t think Hasbro’s no longer making movies, I just think Hasbro’s no longer going to be involved with them. They’re just gonna license them to movie studios so the movie studios could hire a team to work on their own respective Hasbro adapted films.
I don't know if that's a fair assumption. Like they did care for those, but those movies did pull in more than the cost of the film and the Marketing. TFone did not. And even still those movies were still considered disappointments because they didn't bring in enough. I think Hasbro just got sick of the weak returns that they have to split. But they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater like this. And yes thats exactly what this video is about. But if they aren't cofinancing it then, it's down to paramount, who's in worse condition than they are.
If they wanna go to making smaller movies like Bumblebee, all they have to do is get Travis Knight to make a sequel, ignore Rise of the Mid and treat it like it's own non cannon spinoff, and then *_not get fucking impatient like they did after Bumblebee and actually wait for him to be ready to make a third movie._* Having a live action Knightverse and having sequels to TFOne is the best way to go. That and, you know, executing their marketing team and hiring people who are actually competent, like TF Hype Guy.
I like this idea a lot. I think they have to stop trying to out compete the other cinematic universes, and just focus on making solid movies with dedicated fan bases. Maybe they'll even start making more money with positive word of mouth. However, as long as Lorenzo is involved, I don't have much hope. They really need to let him go and get someone competent to be in charge of these movies
That's the wise decision to have made, but at this point I just don't think it's in the cards. I have almost no doubt that we'd be in a better place right now if that had happened.
That's the weird thing about the Cinematic Universes. It's like everyone took the wrong lessons from the Marvel Universe. The point is to make small movies that get watched like big movies. Not make every movie a huge movie.
@@matthewodonnellgavaghan Right? Instead of firing the guy who's been making the figures for the past few years and replacing him with the same guy who the Power Rangers fandom have nothing but issues with, (I think that's what happened anyway) get rid of Lorenzo and replace him with someone better.
While it looks like we’re hitting a low, this is just because Hasbro doesn’t know how to make movies, which is a bold thing for them to say because a lot of companies that don’t still do. They also didn’t know how to run a TV channel, as evidenced by the series that really took off from The Hub weren’t Transformers Prime or G.I. Joe Renegade (bonus points to anyone who remembers what that is), but My Little Pony and Rescue Bots. Also, they made a Battleship movie and released it the same weekend as The Avengers, probably thinking that the movie that put out other movies to advertise for it would just an experiment. Hasbro has been trying to be a media force for longer than they’ve been successful at it, or even that good. This low is just a result of them stepping back from something they had no part in making good. You remember what their big success was last year? Baldur’s Gate 3, a game they licensed to people who knew how to make the game they wanted and did it. The future is never clear, and the way forward sometimes leads to pits, but if this was the death of the company, I’d be surprised.
On one hand I’m a little disheartened seeing a company that makes some of my favorite things making such bad decisions but on the other hand I’m not going to shed a tear if a billion dollar company decides to shrew itself into oblivion
Problem is what happens to the toys that we all buy, and what happens to the industries around it. If there aren't figures any more what happens to my channel?
It's not that I'm shocked, it's that It's a terrible decision to make, and right now. Like they should have at least made the sequel before coming to this conclusion. They hype is really building around the first still, and the sales and streams are doing amazing. A next movie is primed to do well, and if even then it doesn't, that's when you know the property is hosed.
Since I have some Lego, I built my copy of Beachcomber a little place to put Paradise Parakeet for precisely that reason. I also was able to build a tiny crate like thing to store my SS DOTM Shockwave's Brains and Wheelie microfigures.
If Hasbro’s creative endeavors in video games, shows, and especially movies are to survive, they should pull a Beast Wars and create a whole story sub-line. There’s so much story potential in this franchise. It’s so sad not seeing very little of it being fulfilled.
Tbh, it could go in a whole lot of ways. Personally, I’d love to see a story where a new generation of Cybertronians land on a far future Earth, which incorporates Micromasters and other such small guys by making them all cyborg humans, with them actually standing toe to toe with Cybertronians while not having a situation where normal humans curbstomp advanced aliens that survived an eons long war. Or maybe they could pull an old subline like Machine Wars and give it a story, making it so we’re focusing on obscure parts of the franchise, with enough leeway for someone to go completely wild with it.
@@PerspectiveEnd If I were to reimagine the Transformers brand, I would conceptualize the Transformers as energy-based lifeforms rather than mechanical beings. These energy beings would not have physical forms of their own but would possess and inhabit everyday objects, vehicles, and machines, using them as vessels to interact with the world. By drawing power from the objects they inhabit, they could adapt to various forms, allowing them to transform them into their robot modes and take on new abilities depending on the environment or the needs of the moment. This approach would add a new layer of versatility to the Transformers, as they could shift between objects as needed, blending more seamlessly into human society while still engaging in epic battles. This transformation into energy beings would give the brand a fresh take on identity, as the core of the Transformers would no longer be tied to their mechanical shells, but to the dynamic energy that gives them life.
@@PerspectiveEnd Upend the status quo and have the Maximals (or a whole new faction) be the underdogs trying to liberate Earth from a powerful Faction, while the Predacons (or a whole new faction) operate as a radical Insurgency movement in the same vein as Magneto. You could even raise the stakes by having them essentially fight to defend their home, rather than simply protecting the humans. If it worked for Rhythms Of Darkness, one of the most acclaimed stories by Simon Furman, imagine how that would play out on (dare I say) the big screen. Like if They Live or 'V' had two opposing 'Rebel' factions, while the Visitors controlled everything from the shadows until the deception is revealed.
You know this news wouldn't suck so hard if Hasbro had decided to invest in a Transformers game that's not shovelware crap like every post-Transformers: Devastation game.
Hasbro is the biggest part of my fan-apathy. I started out rejecting TF One because I didn't want to get stuck in again. Hasbro has denied me hope (especially Earthspark season 2, which I rage-quit on by episode 4). Then I say One with my non-fan wife. We loved it. I was ready to never get another like it. Hasbro is really good at killing optimism.
At this point I think there are only two things that can save transformers: (1) A X-Men '92-styled continuation of the G1 cartoon, where they give that series a proper finale and retcon all the Japanese shit. (2) Make Transformers: Reactivate a great game with fun enemies, a unique sandbox, and an online multiplayer mode with unique playlists and game modes. Imagine a Halo-styled Forge mode where you can make your own maps, with classes like Battlefront It could put a unique spin on third-person, over-the-shoulder gameplay and be a really fun and unique game.
1 That didn't exactly save X-Men. But it would at least help keep the fanbase alive right now. 2 We better hope that Reactivate still happens because damn that game needs to prop them up soon.
Hasbro and paramount would make so much money if they just did an animated adaption of the MTMTE/lost light comics, sorta like what Amazon did with Invincible
I've realised over time it might be best if MTMTE isn't exposed to wider audiences, we'd get right wing grifters making videos about it and posers coming in calling themselves transformers fans saying the franchise has gone woke
The unfortunate truth of the Transformers movies were simply that they were a product of their time. A hallmark of how far CGI has come since the 90's and the general audience got hooked on the novelty of seeing these hyper realistic robots standing side-by-side with humans. And if you know anything about novelty, then you know it gets old really quick. It especially didn't help that Michael Bay and his team continued to make them unsubstantial slop fests with jokes that pandered to teenagers and the lowest common denomiator. Age of Extinction was just the most "in-your-face" about it, which 9 times out of 10 is usually what gets people only half paying attention to finally notice they were being played for idiots. The failing of Transformers movies NOWADAYS is in part due to that, but also the fact that streaming is just more convenient. And the general public LOVES convenience more than anything.
That's a fair point. CGI Spectacle Movies aren't as unique any more. I don't even know if they pandered to teenagers, or just Michael Bay, and as a result teenagers liked them. But like the Wild Robot still made bank just a week later. People can be convinced to go to the movies, it's just Transformers failing to do so.
@@PerspectiveEnd A lot of people say they hate the bayverse designs and blame Bay for that. Without Bay nor the concept artist working, the designs would've been way worse.
I am very proud of that joke, and the fact that I had the foresight to change it from just the name of a Random Girl to Mattel. That's like the one alteration from the original script I made.
In my opinion, while it's undeniably true that there aren't as many kids who are interested in toys these days, it doesn't excuse that fact that Hasbro had the chance and resources to get new kids to buy toys even in the current landscape, but they chose not to and instead directed their attention to the old generation, leeching off their nostalgia thinking it's sustainable, even though it's not.
You and your channel definitely made an impression on people, so even if transformers become less popular to the point making content isn't profitable, I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will still support you. I really wanted to try and engage the main conversation, but any idea I had just fell flat or wasn't a fair comparison
Honestly now I don't even care if the next transformers related thing is even good I just want it to turn a good profit and for people to talk about it I just want to see this franchise do well I'm just so tired of all the failures that have happened with this franchise lately It makes me very sad :(
I still want it to be good. Good things should be rewarded bad things punished. That's why we are in this state right now. TERRIBLE transformers movies got made and rewarded time and time again, and then people got sick of how bad they were and now the good stuff is taking the punishment meant for the bad stuff. We need to break the cycle.
I kinda wish they would do like seasons 2.1 through 2.9 of g1. I want to know what happened between the end of season 2 and the beginning of the 86 movie. How did the decepticons take Cybertron? Where were the other combiner teams? When did kup/Magnus etc... get introduced.
That would be really interesting honestly. Though sadly you couldn't really darken the tone to match the movie, as everyone was alive until 86 film. But it would still be really fun.
There will no longer be Hasbro movies for any of their properties because they don’t want to coproduce them and put any financing behind them, but they’re still going to want to control the IP because that’s how they sell their toys and a company is not going to give them any control if they’re the one paying for the entire making of the movie
Chris Cocks: "Hmmm, i really hate money. if only there was some way to just burn it all and not make any more." at least, i have to assume that's what he's thinking.
The funny thing I realized is how the Bay Films had pretty good marketing, which is why they made so much. But when it comes to the Tf films that actually aren’t complete trash, they treat the marketing it like it’s a child and hand it off like it’s diseased and doesn’t even try.
Question of the comments! Since you’re a fan of beast wars what’s your favorite episode from each season? (excluding code of hero since everyone knows that one’s fantastic) for me. It would be “dark designs” from season one “bad spark” from season two and “go with the flow” from season three. Also follow up question has anyone ever told you you sound like depth charge?
That's a really hard question, because they are all so good. I suppose I'll just go with ones that definitely stuck with me more than the others did. For season one it's The Trigger, with the Floating Island, in Season 2 it's Bad Spark with the introduction of rampage, and in season 3 it's gotta be Nemesis.
You and me both. I can't stand what Hasbro did to Power Rangers. Of course they had to be the one company to actually _kill_ such an incredibly long running franchise. Ever since they stopped relying on the Sentai footage and making actual adaptations of the Sentais.
Daniel Warren Johnson is gonna need a back massage after hard carrying the franchise on his back lmao. There are rumors of FoC, WFC, and Devastation being re-released as they keep getting updated on SteamDB so maybe they will re-release them in an effort to make some money quickly and to have people talking about a Transformers game for the time being
Man I loved these movies if they were bad or not, I would always hear criticism for so many movies when I just enjoyed them. It’s sad to see we will probably have a wait for another extended amount of time again
I don't understand why Hasbro wants to stop producing toys and move into digital media yet they're cancelling projects, laying off workers, they don't do any marketing for their brands. I genuinely think a lot of these big companies just want to go out of business since they've gotten so bad at doing the thing that made them famous.
I think the reason they said that's the plan is to try and keep up investor confidence. It's probably not exactly true, it's just they need to pretend like things aren't on fire, so they lied about how they are investing their time as they fire people and cut off aspects to make short term saves on money which makes the business look more profitable.
So… what does this mean for Studio Series? Will it just become the “most accurate version of this character ever” toyline once they shift away from the movie stuff?
The past 4 years had me numb towards corporations greed to the point i though someone out there with genuine talent able to convice those greedy corporates to allow the staffs and casts making genuinely good content but even with that there's no guarantee that it will led to success with the masses own personal biases and opinions. Which led me to ask you, do you think the stigma of animations are only for kids hurt O.N.E box office the most not just because of the marketing?
5:00 it makes me so sad that ppl hate on S1 of Cyberverse. I love its smaller scale and more intimate storytelling that opens up to a full cast in the later seasons. It had a Beast Wars vibe; trapped on earth alone and in search of rescue/solutions. Especially by the end where it was Bee, WindBlade, Grimlock, and Teletraan X vs the hoard of Cons and that countdown clock. If anything I was super sad S2 kicked off skipping a huge chunk of what happened, including Bee’s voice getting repaired. It’s been such a major plot point in various stories since 2007 that just having it fixed offscreen between seasons felt like a blow. Then again, I guess TFP had the big Bee-voice-healing moment so maybe we didn’t need it again, idk… I swear this wasn’t meant to be a rant lol
Making movies and AAA games are really high risk things theses day and you can't rely on sucess no mater what you do. The best thing would be to stick to TV series and more mid to low tier games based on them to get the kids invested, accepted they might not make the most money but that will sell toys just like the G1 transformers series did. Throwing up some older comics online for free to get teens and adults interested and get them buying toys would do them no end of good too.
You can make more moderately budgeted movies, and have a return on investment. I mean look at Bumblebee. And I mean even if TFOne didn't really make money, they didn't lose any producing it.
Perspective I just want to say how much I appreciate your attention to comments. I posted one yesterday on your MMC Mirage video about him being a dickhead. The video is two years old and you still commented on my reply. I just really appreciate it and have a deeper respect for you.
I really try to keep up. I'm extremely bummed that I can't get to everyone of my comments. It was so nice to get to know so many people, and have them feel like you do now where you know you are appreciated. But it's just so many now it's impossible to keep up. But I still try.
So Hasbro buys IPs like Power rangers and M.A.S.K. and has GI Joe which are excellent to make movies for and just washes the opportunity down the toilet....
Honestly they should start making their comic into show marvel done it and anime is all manga into anime. With enough care money printer since they also have decades of comics to use for a movie, show or even games. That's another idea they should try out.
its gonna come to a point where mainline runs out of character to make and remake and people will stop buying the 4th revision of the same character and hasbro and the transformers will crumble
I think at that point they are either going to start doing "Even Perfecterrr" versions, or they are going to go back to stylizing the figures in new and interesting ways.
We are in some dark times and it is depressing. I'd love a good Transformers movie to do well but sadly that's not likely to happen anytime soon. I hope we get at least one more good Transformers movie.
Except they cant? Hasbro is the one owns the licence, and controls the brand At best takara would be able to license off diaclone or microchange, however why licence it off when you can make it yourself?
@@confusedshovel1232 takara made some toys. Hasbro turned those toys into the franchise we love. So I’m still correct, hasbro created transformers, not takara
There is only one way to save the franchise, make those old flash games where they used actual pictures of the toys in semi stop motion style like they did with the unicron trilogy and the transformers 07 film
The new ceo is supposedly a big video game guy, and has said that’s what he wants to focus on. So either, he’s gonna do his damnedest to revive reactivate, or start pumping out some newer, better games. There’s already been talk of remastering the cybertron games.
3:20 Did you forget Mission Impossible is also from paramount? One of the most popular and successful action franchises currently that is getting its 8th movie next year?
@alexholker1309 It still made good money, enough to warrant a sequel and there's already hype for the new one. It only under performed because it released next to Barbenhiemer. And are we gonna just forget how successful the series has always been just because one didn't do amazing?
The best thing to come out of one was that people who saw it actually think transformers is cool now I’ve got a friend whom i convinced to see it and now he’s begging me to find him more tf media.
I'm hoping they don't let micheal bay direct again due to the flops, just market the movies better paramount, like I can't blame hasbro for stopping to fund movies, they game almost 25mil+toy making budget to paramount for a good movie that paramount decide to market like a despicable me movie
This plus how some of the new transformer figures looked , I’m not looking forward to the future of transformers at all. This actually makes me really sad. The only thing I guess I could do is just pray to Primus that it’ll be better somehow.
They really do need to make a show that has a good balance of Drama and levity that isn't just for kids. Prime was too one side of Dour, and at the same time never really willing to engage with Stakes. And Animated was more in line with where it needed to be, but it's tone was too kiddy to capture a wider audience like it needed too. WFC and PWT sucked like head wounds and were too dark again, and ES is once again too much for children with babies first life lesson too often, but is at least decent otherwise. A TFOne show would probably be great if they kept the tone and the writing.
Man... This is all happening since the new CEO came by. He comes from Microsoft... He keeps saying why bother with toys and board games.... Kids don't play with those anymore he keeps pushing for video games. TF one didn't do well... That's on Paramount, they are the ones in charge on the marketing which was awful. Lorenzo Do Bonaventura, a guy who said an Optimus Prime movie could not be done because there was not enough lore for him... But Hasbro insists on keeping them. Bad shows and media in the latest years... They say they want to shift to videogames... Baldur's Gate 3 did great... Hasbro lays off the whole team who developed it. Hasbro is a toy company... They fire John Warden... They let the power rangers die... A franchise very easy to make money of. And the screw it with horrible shows and incomplete toys lines... Even the Magic and D&D fans are getting affected... The list goes on.... What do all this have in common... New CEO, Chris Cocks... I leave the rest up to to decide. Oh! And the deal they have with Disney and their franchises, like Marvel and Starwars is not Hasbro's fault but Disney's, by making shitty media that alienate it's core fan base!
I don't think it's all blameable on the New CEO, the old guy made just as many bad decisions, it's just that the new guy didn't start making good ones so they continued to spiral. Paramount markets other movies better though, and still hasbro could have done stuff like spend a few thousand to get RUclipsrs to talk about the moive. Hasbro doesn't insist on keeping Paramount. It's contractually obligated. They can't switch studios till Paramount fails to make a new movie in time, or they go under. The rest of that stuff though is all them. They make Horrible decision after horrible decision. Yeah it really feels like Movie Companies just don't know what to do any more so they keep making terrible movies that have such bad word of mouth that no one bothers, then they throw up their hands and go "Well despite the horrible reviews and the low audience satisfaction, we didn't Fuck up. It's just that audiences don't want good things any more."
Now I just feel a bit bad for Josh Cooley. He comes to direct TF One, it bombs, Hasbro stops funding movies, and now everything is going to go back to Lorenzo or Bay.

The only thing that’s really felt like a high-effort celebration is TF One and that made no money. The only show is Earthspark, which switched things up in season 2 and lost a good part of the fans who were actually interested in the characters and story. It’s just sad to see the downhill turn they seem to be going in.
Indeed it has bee.
All I hear about ES season 2 is that they phoned it in, and the Animation sucks.
What’s with all persimism in this comment section? This year wasn’t so bad for the 40th anniversary of the franchise, have you seen the amount of new Optimus Prime figures released this year alone? Also what about the transfomers music video from studio trigger?
@@PerspectiveEnd
WHAT?! 😨
I just wanted that Trigger short to be an actual anime...
Yeah that would be way better than anything they've done in a while.
I'm telling you dude, if The Last Knight didn't bomb at the box office none of this would have ever happened
You mean that if TLK was originally 3 separate movies like it was originally planned, the Transformers franchise would have been way better off. Yup, I agree.
@@ashuraomega1000 if TLK hadn’t bombed, we never would’ve gotten BB, ROTB or One, the only 3 good TF movies from paramount. Had TLK been a success we would’ve just got more bayverse rubbish till the end of time. It may be over, but at least we have those 3 great movies now
Definitely want a Battlefront style TF game.
I'm 100% sure Transformers Reactivate is cancelled. The toys of Optimus, Bumblebee, Soundwave and Starscream you see being sold are just Hasbro trying to clear stocks
Honestly, no big loss there considering we still really have no clue what the game even was about
@@the_yellow_shirted_kid_16Alien invasion of New York I think and the Autobots and Decepticons make a truce to take them down
@@the_yellow_shirted_kid_16if it even came out it was probably gonna be a buggy mess at this point anyways, the development was not a good sign
Comic books ain’t saving transformers and relying on comics would be a horrible idea
They shouldn't need to, but what else do they have right now? Nothing. It's so dumb.
Well, Skybound is really well done… so far
Lots of people have blamed Paramount Pictures for Transformers One’s underperformance at the box office (Despite it becoming number 1 on digital), but I now think Hasbro is to blame here. If they didn’t care about the box office money for Transformers One and just focus on the review scores, they wouldn’t have to stop co-financing movies. That’s why we had three Transformers movies for the past 6 years, and they didn’t seem to care about the box office money for ROTB & Bumblebee.
I don’t think Hasbro’s no longer making movies, I just think Hasbro’s no longer going to be involved with them. They’re just gonna license them to movie studios so the movie studios could hire a team to work on their own respective Hasbro adapted films.
I don't know if that's a fair assumption. Like they did care for those, but those movies did pull in more than the cost of the film and the Marketing. TFone did not. And even still those movies were still considered disappointments because they didn't bring in enough.
I think Hasbro just got sick of the weak returns that they have to split. But they are throwing out the baby with the bathwater like this.
And yes thats exactly what this video is about. But if they aren't cofinancing it then, it's down to paramount, who's in worse condition than they are.
If they wanna go to making smaller movies like Bumblebee, all they have to do is get Travis Knight to make a sequel, ignore Rise of the Mid and treat it like it's own non cannon spinoff, and then *_not get fucking impatient like they did after Bumblebee and actually wait for him to be ready to make a third movie._*
Having a live action Knightverse and having sequels to TFOne is the best way to go. That and, you know, executing their marketing team and hiring people who are actually competent, like TF Hype Guy.
I like this idea a lot. I think they have to stop trying to out compete the other cinematic universes, and just focus on making solid movies with dedicated fan bases. Maybe they'll even start making more money with positive word of mouth.
However, as long as Lorenzo is involved, I don't have much hope. They really need to let him go and get someone competent to be in charge of these movies
That's the wise decision to have made, but at this point I just don't think it's in the cards.
I have almost no doubt that we'd be in a better place right now if that had happened.
That's the weird thing about the Cinematic Universes. It's like everyone took the wrong lessons from the Marvel Universe. The point is to make small movies that get watched like big movies. Not make every movie a huge movie.
@@matthewodonnellgavaghan Right? Instead of firing the guy who's been making the figures for the past few years and replacing him with the same guy who the Power Rangers fandom have nothing but issues with, (I think that's what happened anyway) get rid of Lorenzo and replace him with someone better.
@@PerspectiveEnd Exactly. I can't speak for current Marvel, but for most of the MCU it was "make small movies that lead up to a big grand finale".
While it looks like we’re hitting a low, this is just because Hasbro doesn’t know how to make movies, which is a bold thing for them to say because a lot of companies that don’t still do. They also didn’t know how to run a TV channel, as evidenced by the series that really took off from The Hub weren’t Transformers Prime or G.I. Joe Renegade (bonus points to anyone who remembers what that is), but My Little Pony and Rescue Bots. Also, they made a Battleship movie and released it the same weekend as The Avengers, probably thinking that the movie that put out other movies to advertise for it would just an experiment.
Hasbro has been trying to be a media force for longer than they’ve been successful at it, or even that good. This low is just a result of them stepping back from something they had no part in making good. You remember what their big success was last year? Baldur’s Gate 3, a game they licensed to people who knew how to make the game they wanted and did it. The future is never clear, and the way forward sometimes leads to pits, but if this was the death of the company, I’d be surprised.
Well they basicly fired everyone who worked on baldurs gate 3 sooooo
And they’re getting sued by their own investors for lying to them about over purchasing stock sooooo…
Rescue Bots is goated
I simply refuse to beleive hasbro doesn't make 10 times their budget back from the sale of figures.
this has to be a dream
No, a waking nightmare.
I wake up and this is one of the first things I see...
so this is the end of the transformers franchise?
On one hand I’m a little disheartened seeing a company that makes some of my favorite things making such bad decisions but on the other hand I’m not going to shed a tear if a billion dollar company decides to shrew itself into oblivion
Problem is what happens to the toys that we all buy, and what happens to the industries around it. If there aren't figures any more what happens to my channel?
The more I watch this the more pissed off I get at the Hasbro marketing team
It’s more baffling that people are baffled and shocked this happened. It’s literally been bomb after bomb over there, even with tf one
It's not that I'm shocked, it's that It's a terrible decision to make, and right now. Like they should have at least made the sequel before coming to this conclusion.
They hype is really building around the first still, and the sales and streams are doing amazing. A next movie is primed to do well, and if even then it doesn't, that's when you know the property is hosed.
8:06 too bad most people don't read comics. Especially the casuals
The comic industry in general has been on the verge of collapse since the nineties for a variety of reasons
I think it's about time we let takara take over for a moment
Takara doesn’t understand transformers in the slightest
Pal if you see anything like Headmasters or the mangas you'll know that's a horrible idea.
Nah bro have you seen the japan original "Transformers" cartoon that basically isn't even Transformers and just a regular japan super robot cartoon
If we get more hot and cute Arcee from Transformers Legends, then I'm down.
Not after what Takara created almost 20 years ago. They better stick to the toys
You likely ingested Paradise Parakeet.
Many such cases
Paradise Parakeet is going straight to the brain and it's gonna stay stuck in there till it breaks down into indestructible microplastics...
Since I have some Lego, I built my copy of Beachcomber a little place to put Paradise Parakeet for precisely that reason. I also was able to build a tiny crate like thing to store my SS DOTM Shockwave's Brains and Wheelie microfigures.
So that’s why Delta Tronus said:”I’m done saving you!”
2:25 Everyone agrees that we need more of this joke!
Congrats on 20K my Guy ❤
Thank you so much!
If Hasbro’s creative endeavors in video games, shows, and especially movies are to survive, they should pull a Beast Wars and create a whole story sub-line.
There’s so much story potential in this franchise. It’s so sad not seeing very little of it being fulfilled.
That could be very interesting for sure. Though what would be the whole new direction?
Tbh, it could go in a whole lot of ways. Personally, I’d love to see a story where a new generation of Cybertronians land on a far future Earth, which incorporates Micromasters and other such small guys by making them all cyborg humans, with them actually standing toe to toe with Cybertronians while not having a situation where normal humans curbstomp advanced aliens that survived an eons long war.
Or maybe they could pull an old subline like Machine Wars and give it a story, making it so we’re focusing on obscure parts of the franchise, with enough leeway for someone to go completely wild with it.
@@PerspectiveEnd If I were to reimagine the Transformers brand, I would conceptualize the Transformers as energy-based lifeforms rather than mechanical beings. These energy beings would not have physical forms of their own but would possess and inhabit everyday objects, vehicles, and machines, using them as vessels to interact with the world. By drawing power from the objects they inhabit, they could adapt to various forms, allowing them to transform them into their robot modes and take on new abilities depending on the environment or the needs of the moment. This approach would add a new layer of versatility to the Transformers, as they could shift between objects as needed, blending more seamlessly into human society while still engaging in epic battles. This transformation into energy beings would give the brand a fresh take on identity, as the core of the Transformers would no longer be tied to their mechanical shells, but to the dynamic energy that gives them life.
@@PerspectiveEnd Upend the status quo and have the Maximals (or a whole new faction) be the underdogs trying to liberate Earth from a powerful Faction, while the Predacons (or a whole new faction) operate as a radical Insurgency movement in the same vein as Magneto.
You could even raise the stakes by having them essentially fight to defend their home, rather than simply protecting the humans. If it worked for Rhythms Of Darkness, one of the most acclaimed stories by Simon Furman, imagine how that would play out on (dare I say) the big screen.
Like if They Live or 'V' had two opposing 'Rebel' factions, while the Visitors controlled everything from the shadows until the deception is revealed.
You know this news wouldn't suck so hard if Hasbro had decided to invest in a Transformers game that's not shovelware crap like every post-Transformers: Devastation game.
Hasbro is the biggest part of my fan-apathy. I started out rejecting TF One because I didn't want to get stuck in again. Hasbro has denied me hope (especially Earthspark season 2, which I rage-quit on by episode 4). Then I say One with my non-fan wife. We loved it.
I was ready to never get another like it.
Hasbro is really good at killing optimism.
No wonder Optimus keeps dying...
At this point I think there are only two things that can save transformers:
(1) A X-Men '92-styled continuation of the G1 cartoon, where they give that series a proper finale and retcon all the Japanese shit.
(2) Make Transformers: Reactivate a great game with fun enemies, a unique sandbox, and an online multiplayer mode with unique playlists and game modes. Imagine a Halo-styled Forge mode where you can make your own maps, with classes like Battlefront It could put a unique spin on third-person, over-the-shoulder gameplay and be a really fun and unique game.
1 That didn't exactly save X-Men. But it would at least help keep the fanbase alive right now.
2 We better hope that Reactivate still happens because damn that game needs to prop them up soon.
How about this for a pitch: Beast Wars '99.
Well that just unfortunate....
Maybe if they actually advertised tfone and didn't stagger the movie release by OVER A MONTH in the UK, it would have done better
I fully agree, but that's the problem, they advertise it like they don't want you to see it.
Paramount is still gonna pay for movies, Paramount does not wanna lose the license of transformers and gijoe
Hey, atleast there’s still the toys!
I mean hopefully so long as hasbro doesn't completely fold in on itself.
R.i.p. Hasbro
Hopefully they can survive.
Hasbro and paramount would make so much money if they just did an animated adaption of the MTMTE/lost light comics, sorta like what Amazon did with Invincible
Absolutely. But Hasbro is too tame to do that, they'd probably rather go bankrupt.
I've realised over time it might be best if MTMTE isn't exposed to wider audiences, we'd get right wing grifters making videos about it and posers coming in calling themselves transformers fans saying the franchise has gone woke
The age of movies has ended! No more false enemy scrotums!
Hopefully that doesn't mean the end of the age of the Transformers.
We’re still going to get Transformers movies. Just not under Hasbro involved.
"Live Action Movie Fatigue"
To an extent yes, but I think it's translated to the rest of the Fandom at this point too.
The unfortunate truth of the Transformers movies were simply that they were a product of their time. A hallmark of how far CGI has come since the 90's and the general audience got hooked on the novelty of seeing these hyper realistic robots standing side-by-side with humans.
And if you know anything about novelty, then you know it gets old really quick. It especially didn't help that Michael Bay and his team continued to make them unsubstantial slop fests with jokes that pandered to teenagers and the lowest common denomiator.
Age of Extinction was just the most "in-your-face" about it, which 9 times out of 10 is usually what gets people only half paying attention to finally notice they were being played for idiots.
The failing of Transformers movies NOWADAYS is in part due to that, but also the fact that streaming is just more convenient. And the general public LOVES convenience more than anything.
That's a fair point. CGI Spectacle Movies aren't as unique any more.
I don't even know if they pandered to teenagers, or just Michael Bay, and as a result teenagers liked them.
But like the Wild Robot still made bank just a week later. People can be convinced to go to the movies, it's just Transformers failing to do so.
After they made one of their best movies?! Transformers One suffered from poor marketing. It was a great movie.
They market things like they want them to be Tax Write Offs.
Paramount and Lorenzo are the reasons why this is happening. Not Michael Bay.
I'd say that Bay is at least in part responsible, but I do hold the other two in much more guilt as of right now for sure.
@@PerspectiveEnd A lot of people say they hate the bayverse designs and blame Bay for that. Without Bay nor the concept artist working, the designs would've been way worse.
LIKE given, my Liege!
And a happy Thanksgiving to you and the Legion!
Thank you so much! And you know my feels on Thanksgiving.
My stance is that the future of transformers is a tad bleak and very uncertain, but not entirely hopeless.
"Did you see what that wh0re Mattel was wearing?" made me laugh harder than it should have.
I am very proud of that joke, and the fact that I had the foresight to change it from just the name of a Random Girl to Mattel. That's like the one alteration from the original script I made.
Hasbro needs to sell transformers To Sega
That's an interesting statement. Care to explain?
In my opinion, while it's undeniably true that there aren't as many kids who are interested in toys these days, it doesn't excuse that fact that Hasbro had the chance and resources to get new kids to buy toys even in the current landscape, but they chose not to and instead directed their attention to the old generation, leeching off their nostalgia thinking it's sustainable, even though it's not.
You and your channel definitely made an impression on people, so even if transformers become less popular to the point making content isn't profitable, I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will still support you. I really wanted to try and engage the main conversation, but any idea I had just fell flat or wasn't a fair comparison
I don't know that I can be blamed for Hasbro not being profitable any more. Like I just crossed 20K.
Honestly now I don't even care if the next transformers related thing is even good I just want it to turn a good profit and for people to talk about it I just want to see this franchise do well I'm just so tired of all the failures that have happened with this franchise lately It makes me very sad :(
I still want it to be good. Good things should be rewarded bad things punished.
That's why we are in this state right now. TERRIBLE transformers movies got made and rewarded time and time again, and then people got sick of how bad they were and now the good stuff is taking the punishment meant for the bad stuff.
We need to break the cycle.
At this point, tf reactivate is a name of two colab figures
I kinda wish they would do like seasons 2.1 through 2.9 of g1. I want to know what happened between the end of season 2 and the beginning of the 86 movie. How did the decepticons take Cybertron? Where were the other combiner teams? When did kup/Magnus etc... get introduced.
That would be really interesting honestly. Though sadly you couldn't really darken the tone to match the movie, as everyone was alive until 86 film.
But it would still be really fun.
It is truly Hasbrover.
I don't remember the bumblebee movie poster looking like that
There's a small chance you might be right.
The genius who made this decision should be demoted.
I think the whole board needs a refresh.
There will no longer be Hasbro movies for any of their properties because they don’t want to coproduce them and put any financing behind them, but they’re still going to want to control the IP because that’s how they sell their toys and a company is not going to give them any control if they’re the one paying for the entire making of the movie
Chris Cocks: "Hmmm, i really hate money. if only there was some way to just burn it all and not make any more."
at least, i have to assume that's what he's thinking.
I mean the previous CEO seemed to have the same aversion to profits.
Up there with Disney Star Wars for most mishandled IP
Pretty much.
5:03 the thirst trap I see on my fyp say other wise tbh, but I do agree
The funny thing I realized is how the Bay Films had pretty good marketing, which is why they made so much. But when it comes to the Tf films that actually aren’t complete trash, they treat the marketing it like it’s a child and hand it off like it’s diseased and doesn’t even try.
Question of the comments! Since you’re a fan of beast wars what’s your favorite episode from each season? (excluding code of hero since everyone knows that one’s fantastic) for me. It would be “dark designs” from season one “bad spark” from season two and “go with the flow” from season three. Also follow up question has anyone ever told you you sound like depth charge?
That's a really hard question, because they are all so good. I suppose I'll just go with ones that definitely stuck with me more than the others did.
For season one it's The Trigger, with the Floating Island, in Season 2 it's Bad Spark with the introduction of rampage, and in season 3 it's gotta be Nemesis.
As both a Transformers and Power Rangers fan, I'm absolutely livid. Hasbro just can't seem to stop screwing the pooch.
Absolutely. It's obnoxious to see them faceplant into rake handle after rake handle.
You and me both. I can't stand what Hasbro did to Power Rangers. Of course they had to be the one company to actually _kill_ such an incredibly long running franchise. Ever since they stopped relying on the Sentai footage and making actual adaptations of the Sentais.
@@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker I'm just sayin' here in super sentai at least we don sell out our whole franchise to get a quick buck
Hasbro seriously needs new Management and Chris Cox is not doing a Good Job.
Honestly they've needed it for a while.
End of An Era.... Quite Common now sadly these companies seriously Don't know what they're doing now....
It is weird how they all seem to have forgotten how to make money all at once.
Daniel Warren Johnson is gonna need a back massage after hard carrying the franchise on his back lmao.
There are rumors of FoC, WFC, and Devastation being re-released as they keep getting updated on SteamDB so maybe they will re-release them in an effort to make some money quickly and to have people talking about a Transformers game for the time being
Bro is FINALLY on 20k subs
Oh shit! I Wasn't expecting to cross that today. Thank you!
Man I loved these movies if they were bad or not, I would always hear criticism for so many movies when I just enjoyed them. It’s sad to see we will probably have a wait for another extended amount of time again
Yeah at the very least what this means is that we are years away from the next movie.
@@PerspectiveEndvery unfortunate these films had to flop
I don't understand why Hasbro wants to stop producing toys and move into digital media yet they're cancelling projects, laying off workers, they don't do any marketing for their brands. I genuinely think a lot of these big companies just want to go out of business since they've gotten so bad at doing the thing that made them famous.
I think the reason they said that's the plan is to try and keep up investor confidence. It's probably not exactly true, it's just they need to pretend like things aren't on fire, so they lied about how they are investing their time as they fire people and cut off aspects to make short term saves on money which makes the business look more profitable.
Cybertron has fallen, millions must mine
So this is how that happened.
So… what does this mean for Studio Series? Will it just become the “most accurate version of this character ever” toyline once they shift away from the movie stuff?
Its already basically that
Studio Series will probably do Transformers One Figures for years since there were so many characters
They'll start digging around for concept art to make toys out of
The past 4 years had me numb towards corporations greed to the point i though someone out there with genuine talent able to convice those greedy corporates to allow the staffs and casts making genuinely good content but even with that there's no guarantee that it will led to success with the masses own personal biases and opinions.
Which led me to ask you, do you think the stigma of animations are only for kids hurt O.N.E box office the most not just because of the marketing?
5:00 it makes me so sad that ppl hate on S1 of Cyberverse. I love its smaller scale and more intimate storytelling that opens up to a full cast in the later seasons. It had a Beast Wars vibe; trapped on earth alone and in search of rescue/solutions. Especially by the end where it was Bee, WindBlade, Grimlock, and Teletraan X vs the hoard of Cons and that countdown clock. If anything I was super sad S2 kicked off skipping a huge chunk of what happened, including Bee’s voice getting repaired. It’s been such a major plot point in various stories since 2007 that just having it fixed offscreen between seasons felt like a blow. Then again, I guess TFP had the big Bee-voice-healing moment so maybe we didn’t need it again, idk…
I swear this wasn’t meant to be a rant lol
Making movies and AAA games are really high risk things theses day and you can't rely on sucess no mater what you do. The best thing would be to stick to TV series and more mid to low tier games based on them to get the kids invested, accepted they might not make the most money but that will sell toys just like the G1 transformers series did.
Throwing up some older comics online for free to get teens and adults interested and get them buying toys would do them no end of good too.
You can make more moderately budgeted movies, and have a return on investment. I mean look at Bumblebee. And I mean even if TFOne didn't really make money, they didn't lose any producing it.
Perspective I just want to say how much I appreciate your attention to comments. I posted one yesterday on your MMC Mirage video about him being a dickhead. The video is two years old and you still commented on my reply. I just really appreciate it and have a deeper respect for you.
I really try to keep up. I'm extremely bummed that I can't get to everyone of my comments. It was so nice to get to know so many people, and have them feel like you do now where you know you are appreciated.
But it's just so many now it's impossible to keep up. But I still try.
hasbruh
That's a good pun.
Corporations and good will... *bursts out into gut busting laughter.* Oh good joke man.
So Hasbro buys IPs like Power rangers and M.A.S.K. and has GI Joe which are excellent to make movies for and just washes the opportunity down the toilet....
7:25
you described Power Rangers here
Honestly they should start making their comic into show marvel done it and anime is all manga into anime. With enough care money printer since they also have decades of comics to use for a movie, show or even games. That's another idea they should try out.
Does this mean the Transformers and GI Joe Crossover film is cancelled
Very likely, and very stupidly. Yes lets sabotage RotB to get that in there, oh WHOOPS we aren't doing that any more.
Well that's about it folks.
It was fun while it lasted.
We have to hope. That's all we have.
its gonna come to a point where mainline runs out of character to make and remake and people will stop buying the 4th revision of the same character and hasbro and the transformers will crumble
I think at that point they are either going to start doing "Even Perfecterrr" versions, or they are going to go back to stylizing the figures in new and interesting ways.
We are in some dark times and it is depressing. I'd love a good Transformers movie to do well but sadly that's not likely to happen anytime soon. I hope we get at least one more good Transformers movie.
I mean we at least had TFOne and Bumblebee. But we will see what the future holds, even if it looks really depressing from here.
SOLUNDER MENTIONED
I'll get to everyone on that list one day.
Boy, it would suck if Takara takes the license to another company to handle Transformers outside of Japan.
????
Hasbro created transformers. They own it, not takara
@@LemonConsumption Takara made most of the original 80s toys that hasbro would eventually use when creating the brand transformers
Except they cant?
Hasbro is the one owns the licence, and controls the brand
At best takara would be able to license off diaclone or microchange, however why licence it off when you can make it yourself?
@@confusedshovel1232 takara made some toys. Hasbro turned those toys into the franchise we love. So I’m still correct, hasbro created transformers, not takara
@@LemonConsumption fair
Yeah, your favorite toy could be based on skullgrin, lol
Lol!
There is only one way to save the franchise, make those old flash games where they used actual pictures of the toys in semi stop motion style like they did with the unicron trilogy and the transformers 07 film
The new ceo is supposedly a big video game guy, and has said that’s what he wants to focus on. So either, he’s gonna do his damnedest to revive reactivate, or start pumping out some newer, better games. There’s already been talk of remastering the cybertron games.
Or he could just try even harder to get the DnD VTT to be a big deal at the expense of all else.
They could’ve at least put the funding into better figures
Maybe, but that won't last if they don't sell well without the advertisement.
@@PerspectiveEnd Fair. If they were to make their figures better than I feel like the community could self sustain?
3:20 Did you forget Mission Impossible is also from paramount? One of the most popular and successful action franchises currently that is getting its 8th movie next year?
The last Mission Impossible movie didn't do that well either - they spent a hundred million more and made two hundred million less than Fallout.
@alexholker1309 It still made good money, enough to warrant a sequel and there's already hype for the new one.
It only under performed because it released next to Barbenhiemer.
And are we gonna just forget how successful the series has always been just because one didn't do amazing?
The best thing to come out of one was that people who saw it actually think transformers is cool now
I’ve got a friend whom i convinced to see it and now he’s begging me to find him more tf media.
I'm hoping they don't let micheal bay direct again due to the flops, just market the movies better paramount, like I can't blame hasbro for stopping to fund movies, they game almost 25mil+toy making budget to paramount for a good movie that paramount decide to market like a despicable me movie
This plus how some of the new transformer figures looked , I’m not looking forward to the future of transformers at all. This actually makes me really sad. The only thing I guess I could do is just pray to Primus that it’ll be better somehow.
Hasbro just need to make another show like Beast Wars that a lot like Beast Wars has good stories, good characters and helps revitalize the brand.
They really do need to make a show that has a good balance of Drama and levity that isn't just for kids.
Prime was too one side of Dour, and at the same time never really willing to engage with Stakes.
And Animated was more in line with where it needed to be, but it's tone was too kiddy to capture a wider audience like it needed too.
WFC and PWT sucked like head wounds and were too dark again, and ES is once again too much for children with babies first life lesson too often, but is at least decent otherwise.
A TFOne show would probably be great if they kept the tone and the writing.
The Fandom: hAsbRo NoOooo...
Is that like an Oh No bit? Cause if so, it works.
@@PerspectiveEnd Tf One reference.
Man... This is all happening since the new CEO came by.
He comes from Microsoft... He keeps saying why bother with toys and board games.... Kids don't play with those anymore he keeps pushing for video games.
TF one didn't do well... That's on Paramount, they are the ones in charge on the marketing which was awful. Lorenzo Do Bonaventura, a guy who said an Optimus Prime movie could not be done because there was not enough lore for him...
But Hasbro insists on keeping them.
Bad shows and media in the latest years...
They say they want to shift to videogames... Baldur's Gate 3 did great... Hasbro lays off the whole team who developed it.
Hasbro is a toy company... They fire John Warden...
They let the power rangers die... A franchise very easy to make money of. And the screw it with horrible shows and incomplete toys lines...
Even the Magic and D&D fans are getting affected...
The list goes on.... What do all this have in common... New CEO, Chris Cocks...
I leave the rest up to to decide.
Oh! And the deal they have with Disney and their franchises, like Marvel and Starwars is not Hasbro's fault but Disney's, by making shitty media that alienate it's core fan base!
I don't think it's all blameable on the New CEO, the old guy made just as many bad decisions, it's just that the new guy didn't start making good ones so they continued to spiral.
Paramount markets other movies better though, and still hasbro could have done stuff like spend a few thousand to get RUclipsrs to talk about the moive.
Hasbro doesn't insist on keeping Paramount. It's contractually obligated. They can't switch studios till Paramount fails to make a new movie in time, or they go under.
The rest of that stuff though is all them. They make Horrible decision after horrible decision.
Yeah it really feels like Movie Companies just don't know what to do any more so they keep making terrible movies that have such bad word of mouth that no one bothers, then they throw up their hands and go "Well despite the horrible reviews and the low audience satisfaction, we didn't Fuck up. It's just that audiences don't want good things any more."
