Recently at the UBS Best Of Americas 2012 Conference<\/a>,\u00a0Hasbro President Brian Goldner<\/strong> discussed plans for the upcoming fourth installment in the widely successful Transformers<\/em><\/strong> franchise.<\/p>\n

But with it, they clarified that it was successful from a box office standpoint primarily, but there is one area that Transformers: Dark Of The Moon<\/strong><\/em> apparently disappointed in was what Hasbro<\/strong> banked on the most, its toy sales.<\/p>\n

As it turns out because the third movie used basically the same cast of Autobots<\/strong> and Decepticons<\/strong> as the previous movie did with the exception or 2 or 3 minor (and forgettable) characters being added, toy sales dropped significantly.<\/p>\n

Basically with Hasbro<\/strong> it was with No new Transformers<\/strong> in the movie, no new Transformers<\/strong> toys to sell. Because of this reason, Goldner revealed:<\/p>\n

“Transformers 4 will have a new cast of [robot] characters and it will be a story revolving around these new characters.”<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now while it is not clear if any of the previous characters will reprise any roles (so possibly a Transformers<\/strong> Movie without Optimus Prime<\/strong>) or if he meant completely new Autobots\/Decepticons<\/strong> or just a movie filled with some we havent seen yet like Ultra Magnus<\/strong> or Hot Rod<\/strong>, speculation is now running rampant with the idea that Transformers 4<\/em> <\/strong>will be pretty much a complete reboot because it seems to have very little, if any connecting ties to the last films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
