TF4 robots Re-designs,can't be any worse than DOTM toys.

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

The Hasbro crew/PR in those board meetings blame everything they can think of. they throw out random ideas like bad aesthetic sculpt,repeative designs,bad enginering,same core cast,price,smaller toys,colors,etc... because nobody really knows what's the thought process for a "NO-BUY" is in the consumers mind. sales data facts can only go so far, as it gives no reasons why,other than the items were not bought by the consumer at a volume hoped for.
That's completely wrong. That is just so off the mark, they spend millions on market research tools, they do tons of testing and in-person research like focus groups and so forth, figuring out that stuff is like half of their staff, and their managers have to have some college background that includes psychology. They aren't just guessing here.
