[[Fandom|Fans]] realize something [[Hasbro]] does not: that [[Transformers brand|robust {{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}}-1984}}-year-old billion-dollar franchises]], while seemingly healthy, are in actuality as fragile as two [[Brick (term)|brick]]s tied together with tissue paper.  One mistake, one bad mis-step will cause the entire thing to [[Gold Plastic Syndrome|shatter]] and fall apart; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Transformers would be ruined forever&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, there &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; hope.  The Transformers fanbase has resolved to remain &#039;&#039;ever vigilant&#039;&#039; against something that could Ruin Transformers Forever, and call out a warning if they see something that could potentially do so.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some Transformers conservationists suggest a more extreme approach, that Transformers should [[Mickey Mouse|abandon all attempts at re-invention]] and instead [[wikipedia:Masters of the Universe#Masters of the Universe Classics|cater exclusively to the old-school collectors]].  Though attractive, this approach may prove [[G.I. Joe (franchise)|impractical as a long-term solution]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to Transformers now and in the foreseeable future, though it&#039;s possible a proposed initiative requiring all Transformers fans to purchase an annual [[wikipedia:Carbon offset|plastic offset]] could ensure our fragile brand&#039;s existence through the mid-21st century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Things that have &#039;&#039;&#039;Ruined Transformers Forever&#039;&#039;&#039; in the past==&lt;br /&gt;
