At the end of the day, I think we can mostly all agree that both AOE and TLK were just really lousy movies for their own respective reasons in their own respective ways.

Exactly. They built him and the other dinos up as these legendary crusaders of old, but in execution they were portrayed as little more than feral beasts.

They didn't have to make Grimlock a literal animal.

My Walmarts have a lot of stuff on rollback and clearance right now, too, but it's all stuff that nobody wants at this point. Mostly just mainline ROTB stuff that's been sitting unsold ever since before the movie came out.

The name was more apt for the taxi Mini-Con.

And, sadly, while also screaming "I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!" at the top of his lungs, a line that even Peter Cullen hated having to say.

Age of Extinction may be a movie that has one scene that was really truly bad, but The Last Knight is a movie that has only one scene that wasn't really truly bad (that being the King Arthur battle scene at the beginning; once that ends, nearly everything else in the rest of the movie is abysmal).

There was this other Matrix that had them: And these bookends:

And therein lies the root of it all, the very core reason as to why the crossovers between these two have always felt lopsided instead of equally balanced.

I feel like the biggest hindrance to Renegades being a success was how a lot of people just couldn't get past the premise of it being "A ripoff of the A-Team". Whenever I tried to describe the show to anyone who hadn't seen it, that was always the first thing they called it.

And, let's face it. G.I. Joe isn't exactly of mainstream popularity anymore. It's really only adults who remember the ARAH cartoons from Sunbow and DiC that still care about it. No one watched Extreme in the '90s (I was the target audience at the time, and neither I nor any one of my peers ever...

See, This is why I'm taken aback every time I hear someone say they want the next HasLab to be Primus. The sheer size and mass of the Unicron figure made it as expensive as it was, and it pretty much failed to fund in it's first go-round, needing an unprecedented extension because Hasbro...

They've even used the "Masterpiece" label for Takara items that are definitely not MPs.

And there's the age-old analogy of "huge Maximal/Predacon/Vehicon size = small Autobot/Decepticon size". ;)

There is a surprising amount of brand new animation in this retrospective trailer looking back at the original Adventure anime:

Legacy retool:

Because it's a dumb, ever-persisting misspelling of Strika's name that should be forgotten? :LOL:
