For now, anyways.
Hasbro might decide to crank out toys if the ratings for Prime turn out to be good enough.

I hope.
I'm still pissed they didn't make a full line for WFC, instead we get FOUR Deluxe class toys in the Generations line. Thats it.

If you guys consider everything Hasbro has coming out and planning in the near future...it might just be because Hasbro has too much on their plate right now.
I mean, there's Generations, Hunt for the Deceptions, and Power Core Combiner...they might not have the time to do another series of toys right now.

It does make some sense to not have a dedicated toyline.
A. Hasbro already has THREE major lines in process- Power Core Combiners, Generations and Hunt for the Decepticons (the last two may be folded into one another; details are sketchy) and asking retailers to make space for even more stuff would probably not work to their advantage.
B. The Prime series will most likely not air until late Fall/early Winter, which would offer it just a few months on the shelves before being pushed aside for Movie Toyline #3 in the Spring. Nowhere near enough time to dedicate to a full toyline & turn an acceptable profit.

To maintain interest in the brand & to have a new offering for "The Hub" instead of just repeats.

Like I said: If Prime gets good enough ratings, they could do a toy line for it. It's not like Hasbro didn't say they weren't releasing toys for it, there just no releasing them any time soon.
