In addition, the other guy is complaining about the movie aesthetic taking over everything. None of the toys in either line currently resemble any movie character beyond "Is named x and turns into y". Robots in Disguise is a great source of innovation, outside of Bumblebee, and Generations, like I said, is visiting some of the equivalent In Space/Lost Galaxy era of Transformers- the later, less remembered parts, with some things there for recognizability because they've been consistantly appearing for 30 odd years (See Voyager Optimus Prime and Megatron, and even that OP borrows from the Gen 2 design).

To try and make this vaguely relevant to the topic, I guess I'm saying that the movie designs won't take over everything, and nostalgia will eventually move on to something else. It might take a metric tonne of MMPR first, but Saban might eventually revisit some of the more Headmastery stuff instead of the Arc crew for the 20th time.
