I guess when I say main line, I'm thinking of the Generations related line. It would be nice to see them put out Slipstream (aside from the Takara release a couple years ago)

It's kinda funny how what had been a small line of G1 homage figures to fill the gap between the end of Cybertron and the start of the first movie blew up into such a massive toyline in its own right. (And all those characters in the first wave of Classics have since been remade, even.) Even with the massive positive reaction to that line, I don't think anyone could have anticipated we'd be here eleven years later considering it the "main" line due to its consistent presence through the last decade while other lines have come and gone.

However Hasbro proper does not see the generations line as being the main line. Brian Goldner reiterated the fact that the core lines are the ones that are targeted towards their core audience which is kids from 5-8 years old.

Eh.. what the CEO says is not necessarily what the various brands think. I mean, for varying degrees of main, both statements are true. From a purely commercial revenue standpoint, sure.
But I'd be wary of dismissing the 'rest' of the active audience, despite us being in the minority (if so).
We have a preschool RESCUE BOTS show, we have our Cyberverse focused on our core kid six-to-nine year-old. We continue to run more adult oriented content on Machinima for that fan. Fan business is growing in a very significant manner. And then of course we have our movies. It was a movie year but our products were about the movie but also about all these other dimensions of TRANSFORMERS.

Yes, both statements can be true. And we are a minority, but an important one where there is growth potential (unlike the core market).
Here is the quote relating specifically to TFs (which Braind Goldner sees as his golden goose right now):We have a preschool RESCUE BOTS show, we have our Cyberverse focused on our core kid six-to-nine year-old.

The way I see it, Cyberverse seems to be where the anticipated major portion of revenue for the TF brand will come from in 2018 with any collector line being where there will be the greatest increase in revenue.
That aside, I do still cringe at the CEO of such an important firm calling something "adult oriented content".

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
