Because people have a affliction of liking old, outdated designs, and want them to be repeated every two years.

Still don't get why Steelcore hasn't made it to e-tail stores yet.

1986 to 2012 does not equal 2 years.

I meant "G1 inspired", not just Broadside, who honestly was one of the worst G1 toys. either way.

Yeah, me too. I wanted G1 inspired (more so than this), which was all I was complaining about. What we got instead would be comparable to WfC/FoC Optimus Prime. He's certainly still Optimus Prime, just as this is still (in a way at least) a version of Broadside. But if I'm looking for a Prime that transforms into a truck even remotely similar to the G1 version, I won't settle for the WfC or FoC version of Prime, I want MP-10 or Classics or something along that line. That's the only reason FP's creation didn't strike the right nerve with me. It's nothing against them at all, and as I said before, it looks like a really cool figure, it's just not quite what I was looking for.

You guys DO realize that FP are kinda... attempting to branch-out & do their own thing with their latest figures, right? I realize most of their figures homage TF characters, but FP has definitely got their own style & look going on. They are not making Masterpiece or Classics figures for Hasbro...

I liked the classics, but imagine a properly done Astro-train.
Blitzwing is a must, I wonder why iGear hasn't copied the Custom MP
one on eBay.
