It's all about the marketing, just as it was 20 years ago... I think kids today are more likely to be excited over an F-22 than an F-15...

Hasbro fully intends to exploit the publicity machine and sell toys based on anything placed in the film. Can you imagine the merchandising machine behind this? I mean the cartoon itself was basically a 30 minute long toy commercial... not in a long time has a big budget summer movie been so custom-tailored for the toy industry...
