Well, I imagine it can go one of two ways - either we get back to the business of regular TF toylines with cartoon tie-in; or we'll get locked into a sequel cycle and can expect to see TFs merrily clogging up the aisles with their friends, Superman Returns and the Fantastic Four.
Having said that, as so far as I can see Cybertron wiped the floor this Xmas with the peg-friendly TFs; so we might end up seeing an influx of smaller guys replacing all of the crazy movie merchandise.
BTW, see the awesome Japanese poster yet with Michael Bay's face on it? Beautiful.
I know exactly what you mean. It's getting to the point that I'm thinking (just thinking, currently, but becoming more and more of a possibility with every new piece of info) of getting rid of my Unicron Trilogy and Universe stuff, finishing what I want of G1, Alt/BTs and Beast Wars, and calling it a collection. I could use the space, and the self-loathing from owning any toys from a Michael Bay production is past the enjoyable stage.
Living in the past has never seemed quite so appealing.
Just when classics came in i was hooked again but after seeing the toyfair pics and what not, i think im with frowny "time to call it a collection" at least one that can do without the truckgun and the optimus helmet
Ugh! Indeed...
Just when they draw me back in, Hasbro push me back out!
(Pardon my paraphrasing...)
M.
I like to wait and pull out after I'v..... screw that, pointless dirty talk.
Anyway, I cna just see some poor completist psycho. "Must find MIMSB Transformers Bike and Party hats...
I think the whole "movie machine" is just going to help me get over being a Transformer collector.
I really do.

We'll always have Takara *sniff* heh
For me I see it as a break to finally save some money :)
Yeah, I've noticed that everything I actually want this year is coming from Takara. Funny that. . .
I think I'm slowly warming up to the movie TF designs .... there's about 5 of 'em that I plan on buying. But I still hate the faces ....

In retrospect, Cybertron/Classics is not a bad spot to stop collecting TFs. We can all go out on a high note.
