Actually I don't think that's the case at all they've been doing GT stuff since well before Modern DB was getting new material. SS4 thing is only because they can like giving everyone SS3 depsite that being one of the least popular and commercialised SS forms. Meanwhile the modern forms SSG/SSGSS/UI have only been used on the avatar characters no doubt to not tread on any feet for main series, SSGSS is the most popular SS form and remains the mascot form of modern DB 4 years on. The concept of Vegetto Blue and Gogeta Blue had to happen in the main series before Heroes could touch them and the only different thing they can do is change clothes just like they did with Vegetto.NeoKING wrote:The funny thing about this is that it's damn-near obvious at this point that Toei/Shueisha/Dragon Room want to revive GT in some way. They know that despite the performance of the original GT anime, the fans are in love with the unforgettable elements of the series and are still finding ways to push it in the modern franchise. That's why you have these 17/18 Truffle knock-offs. That's why everyone has SSJ4.
My guess is, at least part of this is all a gauge to see how a possible GT homage would do in today's DB climate.
Heroes can't touch those forms. SS1,2&3 are no longer the strongest forms, latter of which has barely appeared in main series, and SS4 isn't used at all in the main series so naturally it would make sense for Heroes to utilise the fact they could use these forms.
I think the Transcendence Art line backs this up it was branded under SDBH and should have been Xeno Goku, Vegeta & Vegetto instead we just got the DBS characters:
