But these more recent ones seem like they're not putting nearly as much effort into it. And Bumblebee for this one? Why not one that makes more sense, more military themed, like Hound?

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
Wanted Prime as a HAVOC, but this is pretty decent.

I like the collaborative line. Ecto and Giga were both clear hits, but I like the rest too. Flawed? Yes. But still. Some design decisions have me scratching my head, but I still like the line, in general.
I've made me peace that BB is a big face of the franchise. Beacomber fits the alt. mode, but paying $100+ for him hurts. And then you have a guy all about pacifism paired with a Joe? If they're going to make these name TFs then they may as well go for the big names.

Exactly, I don't see why it's that surprising really. Bee sells, end of. Now if they go for larger figures (should they continue) then we could see Prime and Starscream.
