That's a little short sighted. While it's great that people can choose a Fort Max at their leisure Hasbro is used to their SDCC exclusive selling out within days, if not hours, of going live on HTS. The fact that he's still available over three months later could jeopardize the chances of another Titan at SDCC in 2017 since clearly (in management reasoning) we've lost interest in Titans as exclusives.

I doubt it. I think Hasbro took it away from them because they weren't doing a good job. Their website was terrible and they couldn't handle any kind of registration or launch without screwing something up or delaying something. It seemed like a half-assed operation being run out of someone's garage.

nobody wants to pay premium prices for some sh|t repaints when better options were already available, I'm sorry, this one is on hasbro and no one else.

Why would I post something I knew was BS? We may have interest, but the design team has shown that they're completely out of touch when it comes to exclusives. We're talking about the same people who designed a Titan class Metroplex without knowing who Metrotitan, a guy with Titan right in his name, was. They don't appear to be thinking of secondary characters or existing repaint potential at all. Their only interest for a while now has been premium paint apps and extras based on the retail versions. And it isn't just Titans, they've been doing the same thing with smaller exclusives as well. Think about it, when exactly was the last time we got a wholly new character from SDCC? It was 2008 with Classics Nemesis Prime and Titanium Skywarp. Ever since then they've only done premium versions of retail figures when it comes to normal Transformers toys (2014 Knights of Unicron was an exception, but it was way out there). While it would be great to have Metrotitan, G2 Devastator, and Brave Maximus that's not Hasbro's current line of thinking. Anyone hoping for Gigastorm next year will most certainly be disappointed as we're more likely to get a Trypticon with random purple chrome, if anything at all, at SDCC 2017.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Them making idw or g1 or obscure characters is for our money.
Not saying Hasbro is evil or this is bad just saying they have priorities besides satisfying the fans 100%.
Point is I don't think they want to pull to big a risk of by making repaints that only a minority will care about.
