I attend every single Hasbro financial call so I know what PlanckEpoch says is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Before 2007, only a handful of people from my country knew about Transformers. Now, characters like Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are household names known to everybody and their grandma.
If the 2007 movie failed, no Transformers fan would see the current "retro" line of toys. Na-da. Not even Hasbro would be here today.
Physical toys are on their way out but it's the entertainment that keeps it alive. Mattel knows this now and is scrambling to do entertainment projects to keep the company alive.
Support Snake Eyes, for I hear that it is at least a wonderfully entertaining movie with some of the best fight choreography to date. Take lore and throw it out of the window, just like what Transformers fans did. All the movies bought in cash and Hasbro used that cash to cater to long-time fans.
No cash = No G.I. Joe (movie products or otherwise).
I remember talking to folks at work about this back in 2006/07 before the movie came out and telling them about the appeal and popularity of the toy lines and the franchises. I distinctly told them that if the first TF movie does well it will open a floodgate to other popular franchises including Marvel and we will see a ton of movies from every direction. That prediction most def came to fruition.
