Damn, I’m so freaking infuriated at Hasbro and Paramount unadulterated incompetence, especially at the TfOne marketing team as they quite possibly have squandered any potential for a sequel. It makes me so angry, that words can’t describe how I feel about it without getting in trouble.
That's the one & only major reason why Hasbro decided to opt out for good big time. Hasbro knew all too well that Paramount would definitely continue to f*** up the marketing, which causes future movies to end up being box office flops despite critical performance.
for real, every person i know who like TF who didnt have kids did not see it because they thought it was it was just a child movie like from the 90s because of the commercials
@@alejbr4 You are right, but I didn't think it would be like a child movie from the 90s, I thought it would be worse. Like a modern kids movie with slapstick jokes that only appeals to 4-year-olds living in the TikTok generation. That's the reason why I didn't see it in theaters, but I'm sad because it's actually a really good movie.
@@alejbr4 What commercials? Aside from the trailers you'd only find on Hasbro and Paramount's channels, linked to on fan site pages like TFW2005, there was basically nothing. And it sucks because I really liked TFOne and wanted it to do well despite being forced to go up against an objectively far better movie in The Wild Robot during its second week.
It's not a bad decision for Hasbro to stop funding movies. None of their movies have done well for a decade now and even before then it was only the bayformers that made good money. No point them keep spending money doing the same thing expecting different results.
Hasbro has no faith in Paramount produced TF movies, so it makes sense they would pull their funding. So, either Paramount drops the IP and they can shop it to another studio or Paramount fronts the money on their own and are forced to make good movies with good marketing. Either way, it'll mean the next Transformer movie franchise will have more effort put into it than what's been coming out and if it takes a long time for that to happen, the burnout will have faded by then.
I'll only accept this swap to games if it means we get games on par with WFC, FOC, and Devastation over the shovelware garbage they've been releasing for the last few years.
At the rate Hasbro's going, they might go bankrupt before 2026. Truthfully, they kinda deserve it for the disastrous decisions they've been making in the past few years....
It may be because of Paramount but Paramount has the contract, unless they want to buy out the contract, that is if Paramount wants to give them choice, then nothing can be done
Something I find oddly ironic is that when it comes to the Bay Films, especially along the likes of TLK, the marketing was great! Like unless I'm misremembering, the trailer for TLK got people hyped, and in turn people saw it and it made money. But when it comes for every movie after TLK, the marketing was terrible. And what really sucks is that every film we've gotten after TLK ranged from decent to amazing
Exactly the point! I think the Transformers movies are kinda destined to be good on one thing & bad on another thing at the same time, which is sickening. It's like the entire TF movie franchise is cursed to have this kind of situation. *Sigh* I wish there'd be one Transformers movie that is not only great in the marketing, but also critically acclaimed & reaped lots of box office profits.
I think Paramount's reaction to TLK underperforming was to pull back on the marketing for Bumblebee... which lead to its underwhelming box office, which lead to them barely doing much for ROTB, and then barely anything for TFOne after that.
Silver lining is that if Hasbro isn't footing the bill anymore, animation is cheaper than live action in terms of Transformers films. We can only hope that if another company wants to take a crack, they pick up on the positively received storyline rather than starting from scratch.
I agree. I love TF One. Hasbro hasn't treated it well either with the crap toys we got in store. Right after my husband and I saw One in theatre, he wanted to buy One toys. I told him there is nothing in stores but crap.
To give Lorenzo the tiniest bit of the devils advocate (which I really don’t want to do), there are lots of non Transformers fans who love the Bayverse that aren’t interested in anything not related to it. I know 2 people like that, they were only interested in the Bayverse. It’s likely that Lorenzo is trying to appease that group of fans who like the Bayverse, without realizing that is also putting off people who are done with the Bayverse. By saying it was set before the Bay movies when it couldn’t be, he was banking on those fans coming to the theatre. But those fans are interested in the visual aspects of the Bayverse, not in something “animated”, so he never had them after they saw how the film looked.
Brian Goldner's vision of the "Aligned Continuity" may not have been a huge success, but I agree with you. That was still a good idea. And it was still handled well, even though it wasn't great.
Hasbro please don’t! I love the Transformers movies! We can’t let the franchise die like this! If Hasbro is looking for a new studio to make Transformers movies I hope it’s Universal or Legendary. If Hasbro and Universal made a new partnership it’ll make Transformers films great again and I bet it’ll make Illumination Transformers movie like how it did to Nintendo’s Mario Bros Movie and Dr Seuss’s movies The Lorax and The Grinch.
I don’t think we’ll not see more transformers movies. I just think it’s more if a; Paramount will nolonger be the publisher of any future transformers movies. Considering that apperantly their previous contract ran out, sometime during Rise of the Beast. Hasbro had renegotiated a short term contract with Paramount for Beast and One.
A lot of people who don't know how production in the competitive film industry works are gonna blame Lorenzo, even though the higher-ups always known that Hasbro has been extremely immature and unprofessional with their buisiness in movies since they figured that even though The Last Knight made at least 3x it's budget + is extremely competitive on DVD and streaming sales tying against Revenge of The Fallen, Hasbro uses the internet like Reddit and low-life forums as their target audience. And let me estimate that for you, coming from someone in the competitive film buisiness. That is 3% of general audiences. Hasbro is cheap. There is no relevence for saying movies are in the same continuity is damaging, because the news is that general audiences don't care to research. They just want to watch a movie and go on for their day. "People dont wanna watch bayfilms" is such an internet-exclusive statement because nobody cares. Want someone to blame? It's the people like some of you reading this spamming the Bay = Bad posts because your idols don't understand this and reality. So now that it's all done for, I've made my point time and time again until here. This will be my last statement on the shiternet because apparently people don't know how to read and I have an actual life to focus on more than toy robots turning into cars on the big screen. It's funny, I predicted this downfall since Bumblebee. I'm not saying "go bay or go broke", I'm saying Hasbro should have treated this IP as what it was intended to be in the movies, something unique and blockbuster. Not a replication of their many many episodes of their outdated cartoon that people in their basement soyface on. Make films for all audiences to win. Make films for exclusive audiences to fail. That is what Lorenzo was trying to do, save the franchise from exclusive by saying it's connected because what other choice you got?
At this point, it feels like Cocks is intentionally tanking the company and pulling some Goldman sacks shit before bailing on a golden parachute full or money. Like what happened to Toys R Us.
Hopefully TFOne gets a sequel. I know that its chances are slim given how badly TFOne underperformed financially, but TMNT Mutant Mayhem barely broke even and THAT is getting a sequel. What I expect to happen is a lower budget sequel (really, as long as they still have the assets from TFOne, it SHOULD be cheaper since they don't have to remake everything) given a longer release window in theaters and much better marketing. Rerelease TFOne in theatres for a few months the year before the second film releases, and you'll have people excited for TFOne 2...
So this means the supposed Power Rangers movie rumours its finally dead Not like it would have changed anything, that IP was already killed last year.... I am more dissapointed at TF One being fucked by this
When it comes to Transformers: One, I had no desire to see yet another CG animated feature that chases a Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar tone, be it in the script, or aesthetic. I know that the ads poorly communicated the story's tone, but the look of it made me bounce off, no matter how many times I saw promotional material for it. Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed Rise of the Beasts, despite not liking Beast Wars. I finally felt like they got the human element correct. That said, the franchise has been a mess, especially as it tried to keep itself tied to the Bay entries. When Bay left, they should have simply reassessed the entire franchise, taken a breather, and rebooted. It really doesn't help that every animated show, post-Prime, has felt incredibly cheap. The franchise needs supporting narrative media that has passion behind it, and the freedom to pursue that passion, beyond comics.
hasbro most likely wants to make the games themselves or kind game developers to make games for a lot less, let's not forget hasbro used to have their own video game division but they shut it down because they weren't doing so well and they chose to license out their IPs to game devs
This is really only tangentially related, but speaking of marketing, it really doesn't help that there's been like no marketing at all for the toys. When was the last time any of us saw an ad for Transformers toys? Siege? I haven't seen any ads for Legacy. We're coming up on Age of the Primes and do you think they'll advertise it at all? Probably not. That's a big part of why kids aren't buying figures. They don't know they exist. If it weren't for me, I doubt my little sibling would even know Transformers toys were still being made.
Not to mention that the toys for the new media (Cyberverse, Earthspark, ROTB, TFOne, likely Cyberworld too) look and feel cheap compared to Generations and Studio Series. Yes, they're a few bucks less expensive, but they're smaller, not nearly as well painted, simpler, etc. and the few kids that do notice that these toys exist (and/or their parents) likely aren't as inclined to buy them or check out the show/movie they tie into.
@DetectiveBarricade sure, but those toys are still pretty damn good. Nightshade would've been one of my top 10 figures of last year, but it was a REALLY good year for figures.
@@Saturnlock I mean, I quite enjoy Prime Changers B-127 and Alpha Trion, but they still look and feel cheap compared to a Star Raider Lockdown or Concept Sunstreaker (just examples on shelves around the same time) It might have helped Earthspark and TFOne if these toys had the same love and care that went into Generations or Studio Series; make the kids who do manage to discover them in the toy aisle interested in seeing the show/movie they're from.
@@DetectiveBarricade I think their thought process is that kid's don't really appreciate plastic quality like older collectors do. It's not necessarily wrong, but it does leave a lot to be desired.
Lorenzo is such a good example of how good intentions doesn't always yield good results, listen to him on the Triple Takeover podcast, this isn't a paycheque to him. Lorenzo clearly gives a shit and he has to fight financiers who he is beholden to, he absolutely cares and tries to find that balance between creativity and practicality (just having the Transformers talk makes the budget noticeably climb) but his insistence on Bumblebee (at minimum) being connected to other films and Paramount's utter dogshit advertising strategy is poison to these films. If TFOne doesn't get a sequel, but it gets someone who can steer the ship of the TF films in a more coherent direction then so be it.
Oh you poor summer child, I'm sure the folks over at Tango Gameworks can tell you stories about their studio getting dissolved by Microsoft, despite delivering one of their biggest critical hits (Hi-Fi Rush). Rapacious and clueless execs of gaming companies these days have turned criminally incompetent mismanagement, yet still giving themselves lavish bonuses, into an art form. Check out Jim Sterling, who breaks down a recent scenario of this tomfoolery every other week.
For the video games, the important thing for me is that they're probably not making AAA games. If nothing else, the success of Monopoly Go dictates that. Sure, Baldur's Gate was a hit among gamers and made money... but Monopoly Go was a hit with a lot more people and made _a lot more_ money and is a mobile game with microtransactions. We'll definitely see some AAA or AA games, but I think they're going to focus a lot more on the mobile market, especially if they're targeting kids. I think we're gonna see Transformers Go or Transformers Snap before we see Transformers Effect. At best, Transformers Star Rail.
They need bunt Lorenzo at this point the guy is making people upset over his story confusing, the bayverse went out on a wet fart let it go man. Especially his rant on TFone is related to the bayverse yet we see megatronus and sentinel get killed like take your meds and bug off. Movie wise something transformers with the spiderverse art style could look cool doing something with Sony cause paramount either needs to get marketing under control or sit out for a while Game stuff a remaster of devastation and the 2 cybertron games is an easy route BUT we need something new. Single player games like this elden ring (it’s dlc this year) and wukong have been popular, then space marine 2 and helldivers were popular shooter games this year. Transformers could do something single player maybe playing as the Dinobots after the events of fall of cybertron taking notes from the comics about that event or something like that. Something live service I don’t think will be as appealing that market is stupidly flooded maybe after a few game success they could try but it’s a rough idea
I'll never understand why Hasbro had their own studio and didn't make direct to video films for their brands like Mattel did and I think still does for Barbie. They did a couple for GI Joe in the early 2000s which served to advertise that years products and worked well.
I looked him and the only movies he's done that I actually recognize or care about is the first Harry Potter which he was uncredited for, Constantine, and Doom. And ironically the only one of those that actually has any sequels is the only he was uncredited on and he didn't work on any of the sequels for. BTW, I've actually researched exactly what his job is and how much power he actually has. And by that I mean I've personally interviewed Larry Franco who is another Producer in Hollywood. He's worked on movies such as, The Rocketeer, Batman Returns, Jumanji (1995), Mars Attacks, Jurassic Park 3, Hulk, Batman Begins, Independence Day Resurgence, and Jungle Cruise. Granted some of those were bombs like that Hulk movie because that's the first attempt, not the MCU version. Anyway... what I've essentially learned from Larry Franco is that Producers, unless it's a huge name like Steven Spielberg that everyone knows, they don't actually have as much power as the general public thinks they do. They're essentially only in charge of controlling the budget for the movie. Transformers One had an estimated budget of $75,000,000, that's what the producers for that movie decided and that's really the only decision they had any control over. They do also deal a lot with the marketing the movie. Like when I met Larry Franco, Batman Begins didn't exist yet, it was just a script that had only recently been pitched to him which he hadn't even read yet. And the movie that actually came out is very different from what had been pitched at the time cause he described to me as Smallville but Batman. Like the Gotham TV series we got years later is closer to the original pitch for Batman Begins. Cause Bruce Wayne was suppose to be a teenager in that movie and we weren't going to see him actually suit up as Batman till the end of the movie. But ultimately his job is to look at scripts and decide which ones are good enough to throw the studio's money at, how much money they're going to throw at it, and how they're going to market the movie. That's what the producer does. Lorenzo di Bonaventura... he is not Steven Spielberg type of producer with any real power. He's a name like Larry Franco that if people only hear the name they're going to have no idea who that is but if you start naming movie titles then they'll actually recognize something. And I'd argue that Franco has more successful movies under his belt than Bonaventura does. Also... as long as we actually get a sequel to Transformers One I don't really care who fronts the money for it.
Transformers One's marketing should've been like those fan trailers. And they should've just done what other studios do. You don't need to put things in space or make giant statues. Just constantly show ads and put up posters and signs. Also, releasing a week before The Wild Robot was not a good choice.
When Chris Cocks hints at a more digital direction, he means more gatcha mobile games like Monopoly Go. Dirt cheap to make and calibrated to get people to keep spending. He couldn’t care less about AAA gaming and awards. Personally I’d rank War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron way above Devastation. 😅 Regarding movie marketing, Paramount also botched Dungeons & Dragons Honor amongst Thieves pretty badly. They sold it as fantasy Guardians of the Galaxy with Marvel humour, when the actual movie was nothing of the sort and was in fact very enjoyable.
I genuinely think we’re about to enter another phase of reinvention. The franchise was dying at G2, and BW saved it. Same with Cybertron and 07. We need to lay low and just be small. Make some movies we can safely make a small profit on at a small cost, and be okay with failing. Cut budget on the weaker toylines and understand why people buy toys. We’re stretched too thin with too many lines. Cut shows and movies until we stop eating ourselves. *Be better.*
Beast Wars didn't save the franchise. It was the original G1 kids that were now adults in the early 2000's that were buying up their old toys and now creators, themselves, which is why you had Dreamwave's comics and Takara releasing the Masterpiece line. That's why it's always G1-focused, now.
When it was said that transformers one was gonna be connected to the bayverse, I found so many ways to contradict that statement, Megatron transforms into a jet in the first bayverse movie in 2007, in transformers one Megatron/D16 turns into a tank, so that’s gonna be a big plot hole
Hasbro is not doing well they are moving into an IP license seller. Digital gaming is what they are going to promote. Transformers and GI Joe being lightly out sourced to Mattel is a sign of things to come. Honestly they should just let Takara take over the design and marketing of Transformers and just rent the license to them. Hasbro is cooked because they recently lied to their shareholders about Magic the gathering and most of the toys are now in closeout stores proves there is a large shift coming.
Hasbro is equally to blame for marketing as Paramount. Compare ROTF (tie in comics, games, massive toyline, etc, etc) to TFone (hardly even had a toyline and most of it was gimmick toys nobody likes and most SS figures for the movie won't be coming out until next year). When all the budget is going to the nostalgia pandering in Legacy and SS, there's hardly any left for the actual new media coming out, and it very much shows.
Hopefully since Chris cox will HOPEFULLY talk with his connections at Xbox to get the high moon studio games back on store fronts we need those games back
This can be great. Hasbro isn't in the business of making movies. When they tried to make go off from Paramount and make Battleship with Universal they end dup making a dud. They should very much stick to just making games and toys. This now means their creative input will be worth very little for Paramount and other movie studios that will go on to make Transformers movies in the future. This is the best chance we've had in 7 years at making a high quality cinematic Transformers film that doesn't feel like it's a straight-to-dvd flick.
I mean yes paramount did have 3 great movies for the franchise these being 07 Dotm (the best and I stand by this) and bb but this is a understandable choice, I really hope hasbro can atleast make their own studio or move over towards universal, fuck even Disney would be cool, I just hope we get studio series still
always felt they should have remade the og cartoon, but with a more fleshed out story, and updated alt modes, and follow through with decently long seasons and a lot of characters, along with with a really good multiple player game
Part of me thinks Hasbro can't sever things with Paramount due to the same reason X-Men and Fantastic Four were stuck at Fox for so many years. A licensing deal that renews so long as the studio keeps making movies based on the IP every few years. Hell, maybe the whole reason they're doing a G.I. Joe crossover is so they can keep the rights to that too. But yeah, Paramount really sucks when it comes to handling these movies. Remember the infamous delay they did at the last minute with G.I. Joe: Retaliation, pushing it back months for reshoots and adding 3D just as the first toys were hitting the shelves?
I have a bad feeling about this situation... I still hope a Transformers Two will come out at a certain point, and perhaps Three later on, but they better start having a better handle on this, or we may not see Transformers movies anymore, I hope I am wrong about this... 😢
So the good news behind this news is the unlikely chance of Bay-inspired movies making a comeback. Bad news, also unlikely chance of a sequel or ANY TF movie happening.
One thing I’ll say which was a talking point in this video was marvel and boulders gate, I don’t really care who I piss off saying this but honestly I couldn’t care less about fantasy shit or super hero shit, and when I read things like, “super hero fatigue in movies” GOOD. I’m so sick and tired of that same super hero crap no matter if it’s DC or Marvel. Another thing that bothers the living crap out of me is everyone wanting to model Transformers off of how different franchises approach things, I want Transformers to do its own thing and not use other series or franchises to guide itself in a certain direction period.
Understandable as the movies haven't really worked for them other than the early Bayformers which was a decade ago now. Battleship and D&D flopped. G.I Joe never caught on after three attempts and even Transformers has underperformed or flopped in the last ten years. Shame they don't focus on making good quality cartoons again to advertise their toys.
This man, Lorenzo is the problem, he recently did the Madame Web film, and I recently watched Doom with the Rock, and he's tied to that film. Hasbro need to get Paramount to stop touching any of their movies, because Lorenzo is not the man for their movies!
Considering the lay offs, the high reliance on rereleases and repaints, the signs that Hasbro hasn’t been doing well financially has been here for a while
Honestly hasbro and paramount should give up forever and give the transformers rights to another company, I would personally choose legendary since they did a pretty good job with Godzilla and the monsterverse Paramount dosen't seems like they wanna make transformers movies anymore either as the marketing for sonic 3 is very high compared tothe marketing tfone had
Lorenzo should just be locked in a padded cell and let someone else market the movie. People don't WANT the new stuff connected to the old live-action movies!
So the rumors about Hasbro getting out of toys completely and just licensing everything out to other manufacturers were false? That's a relief, if so. If this means no Transformers One sequel, I'll be really disappointed. And yeah, videogames are no easier or cheaper to be successful with than movies. Seems like Hasbro is throwing out the baby with the bathwater here.
What the heck is a "board game movie"? This is the first time I've heard the term. What I've just imagined is a tabletop board game with integrated electronics. Like there would be some kind of a structure or terrain on the physical board, which would contain a little screen that would directly react to the development on the board's pathway and when you'd reach certain area or amass a certain amount of points the screen would begin to play an associated mini-movie of sorts. Something like that. But I'd bet that this is not what it actually means. 🙂
@@Jetthehawk1994 Oh, OK. So it is THAT simple! 😀 I guess that I'd overthought it a little bit. 🙂 So like when they did the 'Battleship' flick with Taylor Kitsch, right?
There is lot more wrong with Hasbro. They are pissing off their Magic players for some time with how they been treated. Hasbro is being sued by their own investors hence why no more movies. D&D has been abused too by lousy system, OGL and that there are better systems out there to play. Toys released for Marvel and Hasbro no one wants (look at WorldClassBullShitters videos) due to the movies being bad to start. Hasbro doesn't know what it is doing with their own IPs or what to release for it. Look at the crap toys for TF One at Walmart. No one wants that. We want Studio Series/Legacy quality for those toys. I love TF One and D&D movie is really good but again Hasbro or Paramount knows what to do with it. Now they want to do video games. . . . Hasbro pissed off the folks who made Baldur's Gate already. The market has ton of video games where you either sink or swim. In short they need to get their stuff together and figure out game plan.
I don't think it's all the marketings fault. People just tired of the Transformers. Even if it's good like ONE it's just came too late to save the franchise. But i'm curious about how did One performe in China? Chinese people love Transformers no matter what.
Why did the universe give us such a horrible timeline, I wish we were in the timeline where Brian Goldner’s cancer went into remission and he was still in charge, Power Rangers would at least be doing slightly better and so would Transformers. Plus the media division would be restructured rather than dissolved since he wanted Hasbro to expand rather then just be a toy company to diversify its business.
This is what happens when you target 90% of your promotion at the far east. The UK took a third of the Box Office of China despite China having 20 times the population. Yet we got no special marketing targeted towards us, barely any posters, no bus promotion nothing 🤦🏻♂️
They need to make something interesting for the movies. Say, make a Shattered Glass Movie. Keep it unique and make the General Audience & Fans want to see these movies without it NEARLY always being the same thing.
I’ve always been interested in a WW1/2 era, Hearts of Steel, or something that is pre-historical/mythical animalistic era. Which; we’ve short’ve got with The Last Knight and the Prime tv show
Disney would probably handle marketing way better than Viacom, but I'm afraid that Bob Iger and his crew would probably force Hasbro to sign an exclusive contract that would last a full Century, and I wouldn't want that to happen @zullumaster123. As for Sony, I can definitely see potential in them as well, but I think they're way too distracted by all things Spider-Man right now. On the flip side, I can only imagine what a new PlayStation Exclusive Transformers Videogame would be like.
Then why has Warner Brothers been better animation than Marvel for such a long time@@АрсенийВасильев-и8ъ? Unless you're referring to circumstances as of late maybe I can see your point, but I still think it's worth a try.
As I stressed in the video, this is only affecting movies, not TV shows. And it means studios will have to pay for the entire movie, so it doesn't mean they're done with movies.
Sow the tv shows are OK and even the movies may still be made just as long as the students that are producing the movies are fully supporting the production costs financially I understand Right? I'm corect?
No need to be so extreme. They’ve made plenty of good decisions. If they didn’t they would have went out of business a long time ago and we wouldn’t have Transformers or GI Joe or My Little Pony or Dungeons and Dragons or anything else. They may be making some bad ones lately, but to say they never made good decisions is hyperbolic, disingenuous, and in my opinion, disgusting.
I'm so happy Hasbro is not doing no more movies cuz transformer one was a terrible movie and the one reason I did not like that movie they're looking for The matrix remind you the same story of transformers to the revenge of the fallen

Damn, I’m so freaking infuriated at Hasbro and Paramount unadulterated incompetence, especially at the TfOne marketing team as they quite possibly have squandered any potential for a sequel. It makes me so angry, that words can’t describe how I feel about it without getting in trouble.
Paramount is the reason why Transformers One’s marketing is bad.
That's the one & only major reason why Hasbro decided to opt out for good big time.
Hasbro knew all too well that Paramount would definitely continue to f*** up the marketing, which causes future movies to end up being box office flops despite critical performance.
for real, every person i know who like TF who didnt have kids did not see it because they thought it was it was just a child movie like from the 90s because of the commercials
@@alejbr4 You are right, but I didn't think it would be like a child movie from the 90s, I thought it would be worse. Like a modern kids movie with slapstick jokes that only appeals to 4-year-olds living in the TikTok generation. That's the reason why I didn't see it in theaters, but I'm sad because it's actually a really good movie.
@@alejbr4 What commercials? Aside from the trailers you'd only find on Hasbro and Paramount's channels, linked to on fan site pages like TFW2005, there was basically nothing.

You can't just blame a company for that. Someone or some people within made those decisions and they need to be specificlly called out for it
News flash: big company makes a bad decision.
In other news, the sky is blue.
It's not a bad decision for Hasbro to stop funding movies. None of their movies have done well for a decade now and even before then it was only the bayformers that made good money. No point them keep spending money doing the same thing expecting different results.
Hasbro should cut ties with Lorenzo permanently.
I'm sure he has some kind of contract. They can't possibly be unaware of how much the fans hate him. I'm sure HE'S aware of how much we hate him.
@@Saturnlockhe is a parasite. He's gonna try to hold on and suck up as much fame as he can. Until hasbro burns him off.
@@Saturnlock Based on what comes out of his mouth, I think he is.
immature solution
@alobaymar no, it's literally the opposite. 💀 He's bad at his job. He should not have that job anymore.
I agree with you Lorenzo is a tool because of constant interfering.
nope
Hasbro has no faith in Paramount produced TF movies, so it makes sense they would pull their funding. So, either Paramount drops the IP and they can shop it to another studio or Paramount fronts the money on their own and are forced to make good movies with good marketing. Either way, it'll mean the next Transformer movie franchise will have more effort put into it than what's been coming out and if it takes a long time for that to happen, the burnout will have faded by then.
That would be something to have more TF One.
But wont that mean the GI crossover wont happen
I'll only accept this swap to games if it means we get games on par with WFC, FOC, and Devastation over the shovelware garbage they've been releasing for the last few years.
Agreed. The shift to games isn't a BAD idea. It all just depends on the execution.
Get ready for 2 new garbage mobile games at best.
In my opinion Hasbro should cut ties with Paramount and go to a different studio, like Universal.
Agree!
Legendary pictures?
@ maybe ?
@Venomguy43 and do a full on reboot in about 5 yrs or so.
Yes ,a permanent reboot and no bayverse connections .
At the rate Hasbro's going, they might go bankrupt before 2026. Truthfully, they kinda deserve it for the disastrous decisions they've been making in the past few years....
Hasbro really isnt close to bankruptcy, and they certainly won't go bankrupt as quick as 2026, that is impossibly quick in the corporate world
Getting bankrupt before 2026 is rather unrealistic. I think 2028-2029 is more likely.
Them cancelling the Transformers TCG was such a boneheaded decision. Thankfully the community has stepped up and continued it.
It may be because of Paramount but Paramount has the contract, unless they want to buy out the contract, that is if Paramount wants to give them choice, then nothing can be done
Something I find oddly ironic is that when it comes to the Bay Films, especially along the likes of TLK, the marketing was great! Like unless I'm misremembering, the trailer for TLK got people hyped, and in turn people saw it and it made money. But when it comes for every movie after TLK, the marketing was terrible. And what really sucks is that every film we've gotten after TLK ranged from decent to amazing
Exactly the point! I think the Transformers movies are kinda destined to be good on one thing & bad on another thing at the same time, which is sickening. It's like the entire TF movie franchise is cursed to have this kind of situation.
*Sigh* I wish there'd be one Transformers movie that is not only great in the marketing, but also critically acclaimed & reaped lots of box office profits.
it's like someone's trying to sabotage the franchise
I think Paramount's reaction to TLK underperforming was to pull back on the marketing for Bumblebee... which lead to its underwhelming box office, which lead to them barely doing much for ROTB, and then barely anything for TFOne after that.
The Last Knight was the last Transformers film I liked.
Have you watched any Cartoon Network show?
I am still interested in toys , I still buy them either at physical stores or online.
Silver lining is that if Hasbro isn't footing the bill anymore, animation is cheaper than live action in terms of Transformers films. We can only hope that if another company wants to take a crack, they pick up on the positively received storyline rather than starting from scratch.
Hasbro being stupid sucks, but seeing a new tease for your project did brighten the mood
Can't wait
Now what dose this mean for TF one sequels well concerning
I do hope it happens!
And TF one did not deserve to fail
I agree. I love TF One. Hasbro hasn't treated it well either with the crap toys we got in store. Right after my husband and I saw One in theatre, he wanted to buy One toys. I told him there is nothing in stores but crap.
@@SlashTheWeasel Well I mean the Studio Series toys are pretty good.
To give Lorenzo the tiniest bit of the devils advocate (which I really don’t want to do), there are lots of non Transformers fans who love the Bayverse that aren’t interested in anything not related to it.
I know 2 people like that, they were only interested in the Bayverse. It’s likely that Lorenzo is trying to appease that group of fans who like the Bayverse, without realizing that is also putting off people who are done with the Bayverse. By saying it was set before the Bay movies when it couldn’t be, he was banking on those fans coming to the theatre. But those fans are interested in the visual aspects of the Bayverse, not in something “animated”, so he never had them after they saw how the film looked.
Brian Goldner's vision of the "Aligned Continuity" may not have been a huge success, but I agree with you. That was still a good idea. And it was still handled well, even though it wasn't great.
Hasbro please don’t! I love the Transformers movies! We can’t let the franchise die like this!
If Hasbro is looking for a new studio to make Transformers movies I hope it’s Universal or Legendary. If Hasbro and Universal made a new partnership it’ll make Transformers films great again and I bet it’ll make Illumination Transformers movie like how it did to Nintendo’s Mario Bros Movie and Dr Seuss’s movies The Lorax and The Grinch.
LIFE IS PAIN
At times it is but God will help everyone thru it all.
Quote from Princess Bride which has happy ending.
This is already becoming a Problem and on top of that,We may not get anymore Transformers Movies.
I don’t think we’ll not see more transformers movies. I just think it’s more if a; Paramount will nolonger be the publisher of any future transformers movies. Considering that apperantly their previous contract ran out, sometime during Rise of the Beast. Hasbro had renegotiated a short term contract with Paramount for Beast and One.
This is why I'm blame the world
We meet again
I swear I see you in like every comment section in a video where the main topic is something I like.
I think Transformers deserves a better company.
Japan, please bring back Transformers to its new height again
A lot of people who don't know how production in the competitive film industry works are gonna blame Lorenzo, even though the higher-ups always known that Hasbro has been extremely immature and unprofessional with their buisiness in movies since they figured that even though The Last Knight made at least 3x it's budget + is extremely competitive on DVD and streaming sales tying against Revenge of The Fallen, Hasbro uses the internet like Reddit and low-life forums as their target audience. And let me estimate that for you, coming from someone in the competitive film buisiness. That is 3% of general audiences.
Hasbro is cheap.
There is no relevence for saying movies are in the same continuity is damaging, because the news is that general audiences don't care to research. They just want to watch a movie and go on for their day. "People dont wanna watch bayfilms" is such an internet-exclusive statement because nobody cares.
Want someone to blame? It's the people like some of you reading this spamming the Bay = Bad posts because your idols don't understand this and reality.
So now that it's all done for, I've made my point time and time again until here. This will be my last statement on the shiternet because apparently people don't know how to read and I have an actual life to focus on more than toy robots turning into cars on the big screen. It's funny, I predicted this downfall since Bumblebee. I'm not saying "go bay or go broke", I'm saying Hasbro should have treated this IP as what it was intended to be in the movies, something unique and blockbuster. Not a replication of their many many episodes of their outdated cartoon that people in their basement soyface on.
Make films for all audiences to win. Make films for exclusive audiences to fail. That is what Lorenzo was trying to do, save the franchise from exclusive by saying it's connected because what other choice you got?
At this point, it feels like Cocks is intentionally tanking the company and pulling some Goldman sacks shit before bailing on a golden parachute full or money.
Like what happened to Toys R Us.
Hopefully TFOne gets a sequel. I know that its chances are slim given how badly TFOne underperformed financially, but TMNT Mutant Mayhem barely broke even and THAT is getting a sequel. What I expect to happen is a lower budget sequel (really, as long as they still have the assets from TFOne, it SHOULD be cheaper since they don't have to remake everything) given a longer release window in theaters and much better marketing. Rerelease TFOne in theatres for a few months the year before the second film releases, and you'll have people excited for TFOne 2...
Mutant Mayhem made most of its money domestically, which is far more lucrative for studios.
So this means the supposed Power Rangers movie rumours its finally dead
Not like it would have changed anything, that IP was already killed last year....
I am more dissapointed at TF One being fucked by this
I think the movie series died with the previous CEO, sadly.
Ok, if I had the power to march right into hasbros front door, I will Sternly tell them what they’re doing wrong, and how they can fix it.
Hope they will find a new CEO who understands the fans.thanks tj omega for this update.norman from the philipines
When it comes to Transformers: One, I had no desire to see yet another CG animated feature that chases a Dreamworks/Disney/Pixar tone, be it in the script, or aesthetic. I know that the ads poorly communicated the story's tone, but the look of it made me bounce off, no matter how many times I saw promotional material for it.
Oddly enough, I actually enjoyed Rise of the Beasts, despite not liking Beast Wars. I finally felt like they got the human element correct. That said, the franchise has been a mess, especially as it tried to keep itself tied to the Bay entries. When Bay left, they should have simply reassessed the entire franchise, taken a breather, and rebooted.
It really doesn't help that every animated show, post-Prime, has felt incredibly cheap. The franchise needs supporting narrative media that has passion behind it, and the freedom to pursue that passion, beyond comics.
Earthspark Season 1 was nowhere near cheap feeling.
Sadly Season 2 dropped the ball in terms of animation-
hasbro most likely wants to make the games themselves or kind game developers to make games for a lot less, let's not forget hasbro used to have their own video game division but they shut it down because they weren't doing so well and they chose to license out their IPs to game devs
This is really only tangentially related, but speaking of marketing, it really doesn't help that there's been like no marketing at all for the toys. When was the last time any of us saw an ad for Transformers toys? Siege? I haven't seen any ads for Legacy. We're coming up on Age of the Primes and do you think they'll advertise it at all? Probably not. That's a big part of why kids aren't buying figures. They don't know they exist. If it weren't for me, I doubt my little sibling would even know Transformers toys were still being made.
Not to mention that the toys for the new media (Cyberverse, Earthspark, ROTB, TFOne, likely Cyberworld too) look and feel cheap compared to Generations and Studio Series. Yes, they're a few bucks less expensive, but they're smaller, not nearly as well painted, simpler, etc. and the few kids that do notice that these toys exist (and/or their parents) likely aren't as inclined to buy them or check out the show/movie they tie into.
@DetectiveBarricade sure, but those toys are still pretty damn good. Nightshade would've been one of my top 10 figures of last year, but it was a REALLY good year for figures.
@@Saturnlock I mean, I quite enjoy Prime Changers B-127 and Alpha Trion, but they still look and feel cheap compared to a Star Raider Lockdown or Concept Sunstreaker (just examples on shelves around the same time) It might have helped Earthspark and TFOne if these toys had the same love and care that went into Generations or Studio Series; make the kids who do manage to discover them in the toy aisle interested in seeing the show/movie they're from.
That's why G1 sells for Hasbro: no advertising it. No work for them.
@@DetectiveBarricade I think their thought process is that kid's don't really appreciate plastic quality like older collectors do. It's not necessarily wrong, but it does leave a lot to be desired.
Lorenzo is such a good example of how good intentions doesn't always yield good results, listen to him on the Triple Takeover podcast, this isn't a paycheque to him. Lorenzo clearly gives a shit and he has to fight financiers who he is beholden to, he absolutely cares and tries to find that balance between creativity and practicality (just having the Transformers talk makes the budget noticeably climb) but his insistence on Bumblebee (at minimum) being connected to other films and Paramount's utter dogshit advertising strategy is poison to these films.
If TFOne doesn't get a sequel, but it gets someone who can steer the ship of the TF films in a more coherent direction then so be it.
Oh you poor summer child, I'm sure the folks over at Tango Gameworks can tell you stories about their studio getting dissolved by Microsoft, despite delivering one of their biggest critical hits (Hi-Fi Rush). Rapacious and clueless execs of gaming companies these days have turned criminally incompetent mismanagement, yet still giving themselves lavish bonuses, into an art form. Check out Jim Sterling, who breaks down a recent scenario of this tomfoolery every other week.
For the video games, the important thing for me is that they're probably not making AAA games. If nothing else, the success of Monopoly Go dictates that. Sure, Baldur's Gate was a hit among gamers and made money... but Monopoly Go was a hit with a lot more people and made _a lot more_ money and is a mobile game with microtransactions. We'll definitely see some AAA or AA games, but I think they're going to focus a lot more on the mobile market, especially if they're targeting kids. I think we're gonna see Transformers Go or Transformers Snap before we see Transformers Effect. At best, Transformers Star Rail.
Or galactic trials as opposed to reactivate?
They need bunt Lorenzo at this point the guy is making people upset over his story confusing, the bayverse went out on a wet fart let it go man. Especially his rant on TFone is related to the bayverse yet we see megatronus and sentinel get killed like take your meds and bug off.
Movie wise something transformers with the spiderverse art style could look cool doing something with Sony cause paramount either needs to get marketing under control or sit out for a while
Game stuff a remaster of devastation and the 2 cybertron games is an easy route BUT we need something new. Single player games like this elden ring (it’s dlc this year) and wukong have been popular, then space marine 2 and helldivers were popular shooter games this year. Transformers could do something single player maybe playing as the Dinobots after the events of fall of cybertron taking notes from the comics about that event or something like that. Something live service I don’t think will be as appealing that market is stupidly flooded maybe after a few game success they could try but it’s a rough idea
Honestly, they should just fire whoever's in charge of marketing because if they made a better trailer, the film might've done better.
Step 1: Stop working with Lorenzo DiBonaventura
I'll never understand why Hasbro had their own studio and didn't make direct to video films for their brands like Mattel did and I think still does for Barbie. They did a couple for GI Joe in the early 2000s which served to advertise that years products and worked well.
It was too expensive to run it out of pocket.
I looked him and the only movies he's done that I actually recognize or care about is the first Harry Potter which he was uncredited for, Constantine, and Doom. And ironically the only one of those that actually has any sequels is the only he was uncredited on and he didn't work on any of the sequels for.
BTW, I've actually researched exactly what his job is and how much power he actually has. And by that I mean I've personally interviewed Larry Franco who is another Producer in Hollywood. He's worked on movies such as, The Rocketeer, Batman Returns, Jumanji (1995), Mars Attacks, Jurassic Park 3, Hulk, Batman Begins, Independence Day Resurgence, and Jungle Cruise. Granted some of those were bombs like that Hulk movie because that's the first attempt, not the MCU version.
Anyway... what I've essentially learned from Larry Franco is that Producers, unless it's a huge name like Steven Spielberg that everyone knows, they don't actually have as much power as the general public thinks they do. They're essentially only in charge of controlling the budget for the movie. Transformers One had an estimated budget of $75,000,000, that's what the producers for that movie decided and that's really the only decision they had any control over. They do also deal a lot with the marketing the movie. Like when I met Larry Franco, Batman Begins didn't exist yet, it was just a script that had only recently been pitched to him which he hadn't even read yet. And the movie that actually came out is very different from what had been pitched at the time cause he described to me as Smallville but Batman. Like the Gotham TV series we got years later is closer to the original pitch for Batman Begins. Cause Bruce Wayne was suppose to be a teenager in that movie and we weren't going to see him actually suit up as Batman till the end of the movie. But ultimately his job is to look at scripts and decide which ones are good enough to throw the studio's money at, how much money they're going to throw at it, and how they're going to market the movie. That's what the producer does.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura... he is not Steven Spielberg type of producer with any real power. He's a name like Larry Franco that if people only hear the name they're going to have no idea who that is but if you start naming movie titles then they'll actually recognize something. And I'd argue that Franco has more successful movies under his belt than Bonaventura does.
Also... as long as we actually get a sequel to Transformers One I don't really care who fronts the money for it.
Oh cool! Can't wait to see Hasbro pivot to trying to be an AAA game publisher and deal with all THOSE indsutry problems and dunderheaded moves too.
Transformers One's marketing should've been like those fan trailers. And they should've just done what other studios do. You don't need to put things in space or make giant statues. Just constantly show ads and put up posters and signs. Also, releasing a week before The Wild Robot was not a good choice.
When Chris Cocks hints at a more digital direction, he means more gatcha mobile games like Monopoly Go. Dirt cheap to make and calibrated to get people to keep spending. He couldn’t care less about AAA gaming and awards.
Personally I’d rank War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron way above Devastation. 😅
Regarding movie marketing, Paramount also botched Dungeons & Dragons Honor amongst Thieves pretty badly. They sold it as fantasy Guardians of the Galaxy with Marvel humour, when the actual movie was nothing of the sort and was in fact very enjoyable.
I genuinely think we’re about to enter another phase of reinvention. The franchise was dying at G2, and BW saved it. Same with Cybertron and 07. We need to lay low and just be small. Make some movies we can safely make a small profit on at a small cost, and be okay with failing. Cut budget on the weaker toylines and understand why people buy toys. We’re stretched too thin with too many lines. Cut shows and movies until we stop eating ourselves. *Be better.*
Beast Wars didn't save the franchise. It was the original G1 kids that were now adults in the early 2000's that were buying up their old toys and now creators, themselves, which is why you had Dreamwave's comics and Takara releasing the Masterpiece line. That's why it's always G1-focused, now.
When it was said that transformers one was gonna be connected to the bayverse, I found so many ways to contradict that statement, Megatron transforms into a jet in the first bayverse movie in 2007, in transformers one Megatron/D16 turns into a tank, so that’s gonna be a big plot hole
Hasbro is not doing well they are moving into an IP license seller. Digital gaming is what they are going to promote. Transformers and GI Joe being lightly out sourced to Mattel is a sign of things to come. Honestly they should just let Takara take over the design and marketing of Transformers and just rent the license to them. Hasbro is cooked because they recently lied to their shareholders about Magic the gathering and most of the toys are now in closeout stores proves there is a large shift coming.
I remember the Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch fanbases teamed up to try and get more people to see Transformers One.
Don’t worry we’re gonna get a re hash of tfone’s story in the new mufasa movie no one asked for!
Hasbro is equally to blame for marketing as Paramount. Compare ROTF (tie in comics, games, massive toyline, etc, etc) to TFone (hardly even had a toyline and most of it was gimmick toys nobody likes and most SS figures for the movie won't be coming out until next year). When all the budget is going to the nostalgia pandering in Legacy and SS, there's hardly any left for the actual new media coming out, and it very much shows.
I'm telling you dude, if The Last Knight didn't bomb at the box office none of this would have ever happened
Hopefully since Chris cox will HOPEFULLY talk with his connections at Xbox to get the high moon studio games back on store fronts we need those games back
This can be great. Hasbro isn't in the business of making movies. When they tried to make go off from Paramount and make Battleship with Universal they end dup making a dud. They should very much stick to just making games and toys. This now means their creative input will be worth very little for Paramount and other movie studios that will go on to make Transformers movies in the future. This is the best chance we've had in 7 years at making a high quality cinematic Transformers film that doesn't feel like it's a straight-to-dvd flick.
Excellent work, TJ.
I mean yes paramount did have 3 great movies for the franchise these being 07 Dotm (the best and I stand by this) and bb but this is a understandable choice, I really hope hasbro can atleast make their own studio or move over towards universal, fuck even Disney would be cool, I just hope we get studio series still
Got it.
always felt they should have remade the og cartoon, but with a more fleshed out story, and updated alt modes, and follow through with decently long seasons and a lot of characters, along with with a really good multiple player game
If I could I’d write a story just for Peter Cullen 😭 if only I had money and a fan team fans do a better job than studios.
Unless, Hasbro's games can make a profit, they would be losing a lot more money than ever before to the point of near bankruptcy.
Part of me thinks Hasbro can't sever things with Paramount due to the same reason X-Men and Fantastic Four were stuck at Fox for so many years.
A licensing deal that renews so long as the studio keeps making movies based on the IP every few years. Hell, maybe the whole reason they're doing a G.I. Joe crossover is so they can keep the rights to that too.
But yeah, Paramount really sucks when it comes to handling these movies. Remember the infamous delay they did at the last minute with G.I. Joe: Retaliation, pushing it back months for reshoots and adding 3D just as the first toys were hitting the shelves?
I have a bad feeling about this situation... I still hope a Transformers Two will come out at a certain point, and perhaps Three later on, but they better start having a better handle on this, or we may not see Transformers movies anymore, I hope I am wrong about this... 😢
The fatigue point is very true, but most of the rest of the reasoning is over simplified.
So the good news behind this news is the unlikely chance of Bay-inspired movies making a comeback. Bad news, also unlikely chance of a sequel or ANY TF movie happening.
One thing I’ll say which was a talking point in this video was marvel and boulders gate, I don’t really care who I piss off saying this but honestly I couldn’t care less about fantasy shit or super hero shit, and when I read things like, “super hero fatigue in movies” GOOD. I’m so sick and tired of that same super hero crap no matter if it’s DC or Marvel. Another thing that bothers the living crap out of me is everyone wanting to model Transformers off of how different franchises approach things, I want Transformers to do its own thing and not use other series or franchises to guide itself in a certain direction period.
Understandable as the movies haven't really worked for them other than the early Bayformers which was a decade ago now. Battleship and D&D flopped. G.I Joe never caught on after three attempts and even Transformers has underperformed or flopped in the last ten years. Shame they don't focus on making good quality cartoons again to advertise their toys.
Great, basically no Transformers Two!!! Why?! Just why?!
This man, Lorenzo is the problem, he recently did the Madame Web film, and I recently watched Doom with the Rock, and he's tied to that film. Hasbro need to get Paramount to stop touching any of their movies, because Lorenzo is not the man for their movies!
Considering the lay offs, the high reliance on rereleases and repaints, the signs that Hasbro hasn’t been doing well financially has been here for a while
Don't forget Paramount's awful marketing for Honor Among Thieves.
I have WFC, FOC and Devastation on 360.👍
Honestly hasbro and paramount should give up forever and give the transformers rights to another company,
I would personally choose legendary since they did a pretty good job with Godzilla and the monsterverse
Paramount dosen't seems like they wanna make transformers movies anymore either as the marketing for sonic 3 is very high compared tothe marketing tfone had
Lorenzo should just be locked in a padded cell and let someone else market the movie. People don't WANT the new stuff connected to the old live-action movies!
So the rumors about Hasbro getting out of toys completely and just licensing everything out to other manufacturers were false? That's a relief, if so.
If this means no Transformers One sequel, I'll be really disappointed. And yeah, videogames are no easier or cheaper to be successful with than movies. Seems like Hasbro is throwing out the baby with the bathwater here.
What the heck is a "board game movie"?
This is the first time I've heard the term.
What I've just imagined is a tabletop board game with integrated electronics. Like there would be some kind of a structure or terrain on the physical board, which would contain a little screen that would directly react to the development on the board's pathway and when you'd reach certain area or amass a certain amount of points the screen would begin to play an associated mini-movie of sorts. Something like that.
But I'd bet that this is not what it actually means. 🙂
It's when a board game is adapted into a movie. Notable example is Jumanji.
@@Jetthehawk1994 Oh, OK.
So it is THAT simple! 😀
I guess that I'd overthought it a little bit. 🙂
So like when they did the 'Battleship' flick with Taylor Kitsch, right?
@@subraxas Yes.
There is lot more wrong with Hasbro. They are pissing off their Magic players for some time with how they been treated. Hasbro is being sued by their own investors hence why no more movies. D&D has been abused too by lousy system, OGL and that there are better systems out there to play. Toys released for Marvel and Hasbro no one wants (look at WorldClassBullShitters videos) due to the movies being bad to start. Hasbro doesn't know what it is doing with their own IPs or what to release for it. Look at the crap toys for TF One at Walmart. No one wants that. We want Studio Series/Legacy quality for those toys. I love TF One and D&D movie is really good but again Hasbro or Paramount knows what to do with it. Now they want to do video games. . . . Hasbro pissed off the folks who made Baldur's Gate already. The market has ton of video games where you either sink or swim.
In short they need to get their stuff together and figure out game plan.
I don't think it's all the marketings fault. People just tired of the Transformers. Even if it's good like ONE it's just came too late to save the franchise.
But i'm curious about how did One performe in China? Chinese people love Transformers no matter what.
Did not know they let the whole team behind BF3 go. Just... whaaaa
Why did the universe give us such a horrible timeline, I wish we were in the timeline where Brian Goldner’s cancer went into remission and he was still in charge, Power Rangers would at least be doing slightly better and so would Transformers. Plus the media division would be restructured rather than dissolved since he wanted Hasbro to expand rather then just be a toy company to diversify its business.
This is what happens when you target 90% of your promotion at the far east. The UK took a third of the Box Office of China despite China having 20 times the population. Yet we got no special marketing targeted towards us, barely any posters, no bus promotion nothing 🤦🏻♂️
As to this day, i still have to see a mature good transformers movie. The bar is put so low.
They need to make something interesting for the movies. Say, make a Shattered Glass Movie. Keep it unique and make the General Audience & Fans want to see these movies without it NEARLY always being the same thing.
I’ve always been interested in a WW1/2 era, Hearts of Steel, or something that is pre-historical/mythical animalistic era.
Which; we’ve short’ve got with The Last Knight and the Prime tv show
@@CGGS_0 Exactly!
It is no longer Hasbro's movies.
(It's an Its typo in the title again)
Well, Transformers had a good run. 40 years ain't bad. This is the beginning of the end. Thanks Hasbro, go out of business now, k thanks bye
You guys got ten more years on us Power Rangers fans, before our franchise got cancelled by Hasbro too😅
I just don't get it....Why would Hasbro do this?
I thought they were better than this.
This might sound controversial, but I would like to see WB have a turn with all things Hasbro now.
Please dont because wb hate animation.
Wb may work, I'd even take Sony, hell let Disney take a shot, they can at least be better at marketing.
Disney would probably handle marketing way better than Viacom, but I'm afraid that Bob Iger and his crew would probably force Hasbro to sign an exclusive contract that would last a full Century, and I wouldn't want that to happen @zullumaster123. As for Sony, I can definitely see potential in them as well, but I think they're way too distracted by all things Spider-Man right now. On the flip side, I can only imagine what a new PlayStation Exclusive Transformers Videogame would be like.
Then why has Warner Brothers been better animation than Marvel for such a long time@@АрсенийВасильев-и8ъ? Unless you're referring to circumstances as of late maybe I can see your point, but I still think it's worth a try.
Maybe financing their own movies would turn out better if they quit listening to par-amounting to be nothing but a terrible company.
Well there goes ROTB sequel potential
This means that they will not make movies and TV shows ever? Like never again?
As I stressed in the video, this is only affecting movies, not TV shows. And it means studios will have to pay for the entire movie, so it doesn't mean they're done with movies.
Sow the tv shows are OK and even the movies may still be made just as long as the students that are producing the movies are fully supporting the production costs financially I understand
Right? I'm corect?
Yo project starcatcher!
I wouldn't mind Disney buying the movie licensing

No need to be so extreme. They’ve made plenty of good decisions. If they didn’t they would have went out of business a long time ago and we wouldn’t have Transformers or GI Joe or My Little Pony or Dungeons and Dragons or anything else. They may be making some bad ones lately, but to say they never made good decisions is hyperbolic, disingenuous, and in my opinion, disgusting.
Hasbro 👎
Looks like hasbro will stop making toys and movies forever well 2025 is the final year for transformers toys r.i.p 1984-2025
what? uhhhh
I'm so happy Hasbro is not doing no more movies cuz transformer one was a terrible movie and the one reason I did not like that movie they're looking for The matrix remind you the same story of transformers to the revenge of the fallen
That’s not how that works. It’s also not what the situation is about.
