I kinda wonder weather G1 Pony or TF was more merch-driven than the other?

People say classic pony was very blatant, and yeah it had some moments where it was crowding as many ponies as possible, but it sounds like TF was really bad about it, especially the movie.

I thought the movie was made to sell cars, not toys.

[up][up][up]That's why the animated Transformer film had a high body count. And is part of a long and storied tradition of Optimus Prime biting the dust.

The G1 Transformers movie! Man I haven't seen it in ages it's not the greatest animated movie ever made but it did have a lot of cool scenes in there but looking back at it now, it hasn't really aged that well.

The classic Transformers movie is and should be the only movie a transformers fanboy should enjoy.

One morning, as Flash Sentry was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a large adorable Pikmin.

I think both G1 Transformers and G1 MLP were equally Merchandise Driven. They both pretty much sacrificed characterization and plot for shoving in as many toys- I mean new characters as possible. Though yes, the Transformers movie was especially bad about it in that regard, and I put what that film did {Killing off beloved classic characters just to make room for new ones} among the list of terrible decisions Hasbro has made over the years {Most of which involve Transformers}.

Beast Wars was probably the Transformers equivalent of FIM in some aspects, actually. Since it had a far more greater focus on characterization and story then the original cartoon did, and pretty much all the other Transformers shows after that were influenced by it in one way or another.

It wasn't always new characters. Sometimes it was new playsets.

[up][up]Of course, Beast Wars still killed off plenty of characters to make room for new ones. They just incorporated it better.

@JT: I know that, but in Beast Wars they had a reason for this {CGI limitations could only allow for so many characters in the show at a time}, and it was pulled off better. In fact, if the show didn't do this, we wouldn't have gotten the awesomeness that is known as Code Of Hero and everything that was building up to it.

@Shimmer: I'll give you this much. You ponies are all better then most Transformers shows, and you are especially better then Transformers Prime and the Unicron Trilogy. But Beast Wars? Hahahahah no. Especially not with that Equestria Girls movie.tongue {But in all seriousness I see Beast Wars and FIM as being equally good, just in different ways}
