Sad to see core class go, but it was mishandled. If they had used it to push more small characters that actually look good in the core scale like the Pretenders, small beasts and cassette bots instead of just reissuing all the characters we already had in deluxe and voyager then I think it would have moved better.
Nothing last forever. I was just reminiscing about a software producer I frequently purchased games from that closed up shop after 30 yrs. It’s been 1 yr and 3 months since they ceased production. Life goes on.
The Walmarts near me have already taken these core class toys off their shelves and plan-o-grams. The only place I saw them was at Target and GameStops.
Core Class G1 always sold very well. In fact you had to have good timing going into a Target/Walmart to pickup anything G1 because once it would be put on the pegs, they would go fast.
@@proud_emmerian6510 SDCC is just around the corner, I think we will be seeing images of Dinoking soon. I want to see those shoes, which I have little hopes for a Selects set with shoes and sword for Volcanicus.
I'm still waiting for my preorder on Core Class G1 Frenzy to come in for BBTS. Entertainment Earth shows they won't be getting him to till Jan. 2025. I will not pay triple of the original price it has been sold on Amazon($30+). If SS Core Class is being cancelled, does that basically mean my G1 Frenzy will never come in for BBTS?
return of Legends class?!?! i hope so, 5 dollar figures. or just a basic small action figure. hell maybe micro master transformers two packs, very basic transformers figures, maybe like a micro optimus and megatron around micro master scale, basic transformation. again u can sell them in packs of 2 and possibly have something like army builders, maybe somehow make combiners from the basic transformations. maybe almost have a pocket combiner wars to go with Titan Class figures, after all outside of core class, the best size figures for titans where the titan masters/battle masters. maybe this could be a way for Hasbro to launch their own wave of WST (any hard core fans remember that line) heck they dont just have to be limited to G1, maybe do what legacy is doing, maybe also have other items in this line, maybe even mech suits to make power up characters, or even playsets
I'd love if they started making Micromasters again but more like Boater and Pīpo from Haslab Deathsaurus. Just drop the Targetmaster bit, or make them dedicated Targetmasters where that is the alt mode. I think the Siege/Earthrise ones tried to do too much.
The end of core class is a hazardous gambit because a lot of younger fan have a so limited budget that they were the only transformers they could buy. If they are changed to something else, they better keep in mind that their core seven will be feature or that they back it up with very popular name or they will crash the sale like their is no tomorrow. And please not gimmick toys with or without spring, those gather dust like crazy around here.
Hopefully we can still get a Sari Sumdac figure in a small scale class (who knows what it'll be named after Core Class), that would scale perfectly with any Generations style toyline (most notably Legacy Animated) and even the original Animated toyline. I still have faith in Mark, Evan and the rest of the team to make her
That wouldn't work. Minicons feel more like accessories rather than separate releases. There's still room for characters that desperately need small scale class, Sari Sumdac is the ultimate example that needs one so bad
I’m not losing sleep over Earthspark ending however Core class being discontinued is terrible. Could’ve been a perfect opportunity to bring back Leader-1 since we have Armada Megatron and Galvatron!
4:11 Can't say I'm particularly heartbroken, but _Earthspark_ was a fair share of fun for while it lasted. Hopefully the next _Transformers_ show will be even better.
It’s too bad we won’t see the bumblebee cons completed at core class scale. Same with the ss86 shuttle scene since they only did Ratchet and Ironhide and not Prowl and Brawn.
Probably Im wrong but I think they will replace core class with something similiar to what the upcoming core class steeljaw toy is aka small figure with some accessories you cab either use with figure or mount on to bigger figure (something like mini armorizer/weaponizer perhaps ?) EDIT: for me its kinda sad, I was hoping for core class predacons combiner though but as many point out mayybe they will finally bring back Mini-cons ?
It’d be cool if Hasbro took the smaller deluxe figures (generations Bumblebee, Huffer etc) and made them a $15 price point. Slightly bigger than the core class but smaller than the regular deluxe. It would still have that deluxe appeal but with the ability to explore smaller characters like the throttle bots and maybe even dip into the Go Bots IP. At least for some of the mainstay characters like Scooter, Copter, and Turbo. I know it’s ridiculous on print but it could easily expand the Transformers mythos. My other thought was go back to the two pack concept except with Battle Beast (with the faction rub stickers).
The Core Class figures always puzzled me, not because I dislike the price point, but because Hasbro always seem to pick the wrong mix of characters. Sure, there are tons of shelf warmers, but are you gonna tell me the Dinobots didn't sell?
Wait 😢I’m so the core class is not continuing next year what asking for having updated versions for the two cassette bots for studio series 86 like for soundwave a certain panther and condor
@@DanielRocha-gc3em Yeah, in Hasbro eyes seems to work as good enough. I didn't get them so I have my chance to have them over the overblown ebay prices.
I won't miss the core class because it just ended up being a lot of shelf warmed items every time I visited the stores. Pack those figures with voyagers or leaders. Also I tried to watch Earthspark but it was a modern day kids show at heart and it couldn't hold my interest. It lacked an edge to stay compelling to older audiences. It's almost like they tried to make a show narrowly focused on 6-9 yr olds. But if you don't have buy in from their parents to watch the show on a paid platform...they aren't going to see it.
Sad to see the Core class go, i Remember picking up alot of the Core Class Transformers Figures from the DOTM Era because some of the Voyager and Deluxe Sized ones in my Home Country were Expensive as Fuck, they used to be fun as fuck, but i think after TLK, it basically just started to die, now its over for it, At least 3rd Party Companies can Continue that trend, even though they will be pricey
Tbh I was never a fan of Core Class so I'm not that torn up that its getting cancelled. Hopefully whatever comes up in the future is better than what we had before
Well EarthSpark was already doomed for the exclusivity on paramount +. The abuse of remolds to fill a bland toy line. And of course, falling in the pit of "inclusiveness". So yeah, a recipe to disaster.
A shame about Core class ending, hopefully we get Minicons as a replacement. Hoping the next Show is cool and weird like having Rhinox or Barricade Show up.
That wouldn't work. Minicons feel more like accessories rather than separate releases. There's still room for characters that desperately need small scale class, Techno-Organic form Sari Sumdac from TFA Season 3 is the ultimate example that needs one so bad
@SPGojiFan maybe do them in 2 packs? Sari could work as a Minicon size figure but I think the leaks said Cores will still show up in exclusive packs so could se her come with maybe an exclusive TFA figure.
I won't miss Earthspark, but I sure hope Core Class gets replaced with somwthing comperable. A lot of small scale figures need the love (not smaller versions of popular guys, axtually small characters. Throttlebots, more Micromasters, Mini-Cons. Finish the Casettes. There are options, but too many box stores overload on Wave 1 and that shelfwarms for years.
id bet money the new transformers series will be a continuation of transformers one, like for example what how to train your dragon did, big movie with a direct continuation series.
I kinda wish Hasbro would once again let Japan take a hold of the cartoon part of Transformers. It's not that a lot of the western transformers shows are bad. I liked beast wars, it's just I wish every now and then. We would get a transformers show from Japan. I just feel they put in more effort into there robot designs then the west does.
Earthspark Season 2 is awful. It's Bayverse all over again being Humans with robots supporting, and not really good robots. Season 1 was passable, but the second one so far is a snoozefest. My son is massive into TFs, and hasn't been interested in Earthspark at all. They just don't seem to learn that the Transformers need to come first in anything they do.
So glad earthspark is canceling. The show sucked and the toys sucked. They went the woke route with non binary and crap. No kid needs to learn about that.
@Megamaster64 I am a riot. I'm sorry that I feel that way but it's a kids cartoon. I started watching it with my 8 year old son and after the 8th episode I stopped. Kids don't understand that crap and shouldn't be subject to it at that young of a age.
I genuinely hate this. I like Core Class; in many, many ways its better than every smaller Class (og Cyberverse, Legends, etc), before it. Core Class is awesome and I actually really want to get some, tbh; don't have any at the moment. I do hope that this leak is not actually true. Like, not all leaks are true, many are, but some are revealed later to be just straight-up false. Same, with EarthSpark ending. I hope neither of these are true cuz if they were, then this just sucks so hard. EarthSpark deserves *_4 SEASONS_* and be distributed on more platforms/services! Don't lock it to Paramount+; put it on Netflix, Prime Video (without Paramount+ subscription), the Transformers Official TH-cam Channel, etc! Please! And, give us some proper Voyager, Leaders, and more Deluxes! Please! It'd be STUPID not to do all this! Edit: PLEASE, Hasbro! Please give us Core Class RID Spychangers! Give us Hotshot! Give us Mirage, Ironhide, R.E.V., and everyone! Core Class Spychangers would go so hard! Also, Core Class (G1) Jazz, Datsun boys, Hound, Sideswipe & Sunstreaker, and others would be so awesome! Also, also, Hasbro, PLEASE give us Core Class Sari Sumdac!!
Edit: I'm genuinely devastated that EarthSpark's being cancelled. I love the show. It does NOT deserve to be canceled...at all! Like, I said before, I NEED 4 seasons, or ELSE!

I'd have to agree with that. If smaller characters were put in Core Class things might've turned out better.
But, having smaller figures of certain characters is a good thing!
Good thing me and my sister bought core class of Blaster and Soundwave cassettes.....
RIP core class.
Nothing last forever. I was just reminiscing about a software producer I frequently purchased games from that closed up shop after 30 yrs. It’s been 1 yr and 3 months since they ceased production.
Life goes on.
That's how I felt about the dodge viper getting discontinued
The Walmarts near me have already taken these core class toys off their shelves and plan-o-grams. The only place I saw them was at Target and GameStops.
I bet hasbro is doing a blood sacrifice of core class to resurrect Mini-Cons
Ok... I laugh so hard to your comment XD
Or could be scout class
Core > Minicons.
Yet they'll still keep making 1 step changers and all that other bs
I can see that. I mean, the Unicron Trilogy characters are kinda front and center now.
Core Class G1 always sold very well. In fact you had to have good timing going into a Target/Walmart to pickup anything G1 because once it would be put on the pegs, they would go fast.
I just hope we at least get that rumored core class Dinobot before the class disappears
I hope so...
SAMEEE😣😣🙏
I hope we get Dinoking soon. Since the Core-class Dinobots combine, it makes sense to repaint/remold them into Dinoking.
@@proud_emmerian6510 SDCC is just around the corner, I think we will be seeing images of Dinoking soon. I want to see those shoes, which I have little hopes for a Selects set with shoes and sword for Volcanicus.
Name dropped in the podcast segment, hell yeah!

I wonder if this means the recently announced core class figures will be less produced and distributed aka rare
I'm still waiting for my preorder on Core Class G1 Frenzy to come in for BBTS. Entertainment Earth shows they won't be getting him to till Jan. 2025.

The only thing I want from the price range from it was is the studio series of the 1986 movie sub line that of laserbeak and most importantly ravage
I'd love if they started making Micromasters again but more like Boater and Pīpo from Haslab Deathsaurus. Just drop the Targetmaster bit, or make them dedicated Targetmasters where that is the alt mode. I think the Siege/Earthrise ones tried to do too much.
If it's going to be similar to micromasters they better have modulators that are completely new
Core Class is great! It should never be replaced!
@@FennekinTFcore class should be expanded on with modulator style bases that transform and stuff like that
The end of core class is a hazardous gambit because a lot of younger fan have a so limited budget that they were the only transformers they could buy. If they are changed to something else, they better keep in mind that their core seven will be feature or that they back it up with very popular name or they will crash the sale like their is no tomorrow.

Was hoping we'd at least get the insecticons in core class before it was finished :/
Hopefully we can still get a Sari Sumdac figure in a small scale class (who knows what it'll be named after Core Class), that would scale perfectly with any Generations style toyline (most notably Legacy Animated) and even the original Animated toyline. I still have faith in Mark, Evan and the rest of the team to make her
Then they better bring back Micromasters and or/ Make Minicons
That wouldn't work. Minicons feel more like accessories rather than separate releases. There's still room for characters that desperately need small scale class, Sari Sumdac is the ultimate example that needs one so bad
Worst news I love core class! I hope they stay in that same size
I’m not losing sleep over Earthspark ending however Core class being discontinued is terrible. Could’ve been a perfect opportunity to bring back Leader-1 since we have Armada Megatron and Galvatron!

Or a dotm soundwave to go with dotm bee
As long as the continue to give us more Cassette-bots I don't care what they call their small scale product.
Probably Im wrong but I think they will replace core class with something similiar to what the upcoming core class steeljaw toy is aka small figure with some accessories you cab either use with figure or mount on to bigger figure (something like mini armorizer/weaponizer perhaps ?)
EDIT: for me its kinda sad, I was hoping for core class predacons combiner though but as many point out mayybe they will finally bring back Mini-cons ?
Glad I sold off my core class group. Maybe they have something new coming but I doubt it. Its just not enough profit off the little ones
It’d be cool if Hasbro took the smaller deluxe figures (generations Bumblebee, Huffer etc) and made them a $15 price point. Slightly bigger than the core class but smaller than the regular deluxe. It would still have that deluxe appeal but with the ability to explore smaller characters like the throttle bots and maybe even dip into the Go Bots IP. At least for some of the mainstay characters like Scooter, Copter, and Turbo. I know it’s ridiculous on print but it could easily expand the Transformers mythos. My other thought was go back to the two pack concept except with Battle Beast (with the faction rub stickers).
So whose left within the small characters that worked well as core class? The remaining cassette bots like Lazerbeak?
WingThing.
Bummer
The Core Class figures always puzzled me, not because I dislike the price point, but because Hasbro always seem to pick the wrong mix of characters. Sure, there are tons of shelf warmers, but are you gonna tell me the Dinobots didn't sell?

Wait 😢I’m so the core class is not continuing next year what asking for having updated versions for the two cassette bots for studio series 86 like for soundwave a certain panther and condor
The upcoming Legacy United leader Soundwave.
That ravage looks not great at all with the transformation from cassette to kitty mode
Like it’s another reused the siege and earthrise mold for the third time
@@DanielRocha-gc3em Yeah, in Hasbro eyes seems to work as good enough. I didn't get them so I have my chance to have them over the overblown ebay prices.
I'll have to hunt my Skywarp, Iguanus, and Hot Rod just for the sword.
I won't miss the core class because it just ended up being a lot of shelf warmed items every time I visited the stores. Pack those figures with voyagers or leaders. Also I tried to watch Earthspark but it was a modern day kids show at heart and it couldn't hold my interest. It lacked an edge to stay compelling to older audiences.

Aw i really liked core class :(
I don’t they making Earthspark Blitzwave and razor fin toy looks like
What about the new toys for Transformers earthspark season 2?
The next cartoon series needs to be TRANSTECH.
Minicon two packs or something would be cool
Sad to see the Core class go, i Remember picking up alot of the Core Class Transformers Figures from the DOTM Era because some of the Voyager and Deluxe Sized ones in my Home Country were Expensive as Fuck, they used to be fun as fuck, but i think after TLK, it basically just started to die, now its over for it, At least 3rd Party Companies can Continue that trend, even though they will be pricey

Not to mention the animation put a lot of people off.
What we really need is minicons!
hopefully minicons

Just hope they get a better creative team that's nothing like the WFC or Combiner Wars series. Those were awful
@@SPGojiFan Siege was fine, but everything else was awful
