I think this is not only the best post of 2012 so far, but also sums up my own feelings.

Transformers wise I buy what I like and watch what I like, but there isn't much that I like, and I find it very hard to muster enthusiasm for the brand. When third party items interest me more than regular releases you know Hasbro are doing something very wrong.

The IDW comics are good, and despite some blips I think 2011 was generally a good year for them, and 2012 is shaping up be awesome.

I still love Transformers itself, but modern toys and media (outside the comics) just doesn't register for me anymore. Hopefully something will come down the line in the future that will chnage that.
