But I get it. The inertia is already an event, and it has a fanbase. There is no going back.
My G1 stuff is starting to look a lot to the new crowd like my Grandmas Elvis records looked to me.

This version of the franchise is the only one they're interested in selling, if it were to fail, you wouldn't get an alternative, you just wouldn't get as many TF's, it would become much more of a niche, collector product, like what GI Joe is after Rise of Cobra, or MOTU these days. For hardcore fans only, not even marketed to kids; preying on nostalgia with no intent to innovate.
And like you said, even if we the TF fans boycott the movie, we're the minority of the audience.
