The role of evil Optimus Prime doppelganger is already filled by MECH's Nemesis Prime.

But what if they want to introduce Scourge as the leader of the Sweeps?

To think that they forgot about a 6 year old character who could be passed off a return of a old character who was also a multiheaded dragon

You think they forgot? Please.

Instead of handing off the title of the G1 combiner who is the king of 6 beasts combined making the name fitting as he was also very powerful to be truly a Predacon King/Predaking

Predaking is the leader of the Predacons. The king of the Predacons. Predaking. It doesn't make his name any less valid.

If they really wanted this name again so bad, they should have the 2012 Predacons become a new combiner, that would be appropriate.

I'm going to assume you acted similarly when Menasor was one person instead of a Gestalt in Cybertron.

But, hey...what are you going to do? Some people just don't accept change. It's still happening, and that's one thing that's not going to change.

I'm not sure why as TF fans we should care about these ugly molds, with playschool-like colors. Efforts like this only push me more into the direction of third party toys.

TF fans have been loyal and growing in number since the 80's. Its time hasbro stops putting out junk!

Yes, how dare Hasbro make children's toys for children instead of adult collectors. How dare they try something new instead of rehashing the same G1-homaged stuff again and again. How dare they make toys that bright and colorful instead of dull and drab. How dare they go for something as creative and exotic as mythical beasts and monsters instead of same old cars and trucks that they always do. Hasbro be darned for having imagination and a feeling of innovation.

You forget to mention that GEEWUN Predaking had this realistic colorscheme, very different from this playskool poo-pile that is showcased here.

The larger Predaking doesn't have as much neon paint, although does not lack it either.

I was getting the tiniest bit excited when I thought I saw Laserbeak, but then I realize it said LaserBACK.

There's already a Prime Laserbeak.

BH Soundwave comes with Ravage. Besides, Laserbeak in this continuity is nothing more than a simple reconnaissance drone, not the well-known character from other continuities such as G1. There would be no reason to make another toy of him.

...Too much info?

We already got Laserbeak with the first Soundwave figure.

In principal, Laserbeak isn't necessarily just a drone. Since Soundwave wiped his own emotions, perhaps he did it to at least Laserbeak as well?

To quote 343 Guilty Spark:

"Perhaps. Perhaps."

Technically, he is "just a drone." We don't know what happened during the millions of years of gap that we got from Exiles to Prime, but Laserbeak never really showed emotions. However, he seemed to be a bird of his own on Cybertron. On Earth, Laserbeak is merely an extension of Soundwave, being Soundwave's eyes and ears when deployed and performing tasks for him. He isn't an individual. Instead of wiping his emotions, perhaps he was wiped of individuality.
