Don't get me wrong, I'm not a diehard Geewunner, either. That was the era I grew up in, but there's so much that's just as good, if not better.
The Bayverse so far is the only fiction that has absolutely no redeeming value, IMO.
The Beast Era is my favorite, followed closely by Animated (One more season, and a few more excellent toys and it'd have replaced BW).
RiD and G2 comes up really close after.
Hell, the UT had some wonderful toys, excellent characters, and brilliant concepts. It's only downfall was relying on Takara to provide the bulk of the fiction (Dreamwave's Armada/Energon comic was one of the best TF comic series out there).
Even Prime has *some* unrealized potential. (It's hurt most by very poor CG, and not living up to it's overblown reputation storywise).
And I'm certainly not against new takes, or new concepts. IDW's comics were brilliant until the trainwreck of AHM.
Just that design wise, the games fail at everything they try to do.
Though I will say I do love their idea for the dinobots' story.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Supossedly, Hasbro said somewhere that there are only 8 FoC being made. Bruticus here is fiive of them, and the other three are supossedly Shockwave, Jazz, and Optimus.

The game designers also said something in an interview that Hasbro refused to allow them to use the dinobots. They said they were staying away from them as a franchise. And they had to fight tooth and claw to be allowed to put them in the game.
So if that's true, I can't imagine hasbro having *any* plans for any dinobots for the forseeable future.

They've also "supposedly" told FP the same thing reguarding Beast Wars, when FP tried to propose more beast era characters.
Take this one with a grain of salt, as Brian and Pete lie about things they don't want to do them. So they may be looking to place the heat on Hasbro and off of Brian when he rejects the council's set ideas.
On the other hand, that also sounds like Hasbro, lately.
