There you go again, being the voice of reason. Haven't you learned your lesson yet.
Resolute was never going to happen after Hasbro and Discovery Kids started working on the deal to create the joint tv station (and business deals like that take months to happen, which is probably why we never heard anything about Resolute after SDCC, the deal started up and Hasbro tabled it). It's a KIDS station, Resolute is not a KIDS show. Once those talks happened, Hasbro's focus went to the kids and creating the next generation of Joe fan, not catering to the old '80s. They gave us the little bit of Resolute we had as a gift and a bonus.
Of course they kept it around just in case the deal fell thru, they'd have the Resolute property all ready to go.
