I enjoy the show. I see more people warming up to it. And I know Hasbro said it was doing good, but (as they always do) they looped it in there with Transformers. TF is much bigger and popular and while Joe may have decent ratings, TF is probably really taking off. So to hype both brands and the new show Hasbro says TF and Joe are really hot. I would just like to see the Hub or Hasbro state officially that "Renegades"--without any mention of Transformers-- is doing really good in the ratings.
But by far I see more people preferring the art style of Resolute and the aesthetics of the toys to be more realistic, less cartoonish, etc. I think after Rise of Cobra, Hasbro was a little more hesitant to jump both feet into the water and didn't want to change things too dramatically.
I imagine most people will be pleased to see Renegades toys in the same vein of POC in design. In fact it was because of the negative feedback within the community that Hasbro decided to keep the toys the same. Or nearly the same. I personally remember seeing a lot of "If the toys look like the clone wars, I'm done collecting."
That was a big eye opener for the big H. While this brand is mainly focused towards kids, if you lose your collectors, the backbone of the brand, and there is fall out with the kids, then you have nothing. Or no one.
I think it's going to work just fine. I think Duke, Flint, Tunnel Rat and Roadblock will all be easily and instantly recognizable for both collectors and kids. And there will not be repaints (at least for the first few waves) because these versions of the characters are unique and different from past versions. There's plenty of Flint's, but none in a sweater vest and kaki jeans and so forth.
Will they be a hit with both collectors and kids? Who knows? Will the cartoon? Again, who knows? But every new advent that this brand takes is a risk. We'll just have to wait it out and see.
