The movie didn't bomb.

Toy sales were weak (you followed the live-action movie with a total cartoonish looking series), Cartoon Network black-holed the show as they do with all the shows that they don't own a majority in, and Hasbro wanted to bank in on the live-action success, and thus started production of Transformers Prime to tie in with the movie look and feel.

Cartoon Network and the designers at Hasbro were already in the process of having a Season 4 planned out and ready to go, and Hasbro chose to kill it. Really sad, as Transformers kind of died for me at that point.

Me to, to be honest. I bought a couple since then.. but I haven't had that same sense of "OMG I NEED MONEYZ" since Ani died.
