Your dead on Liege Evilmus. I was late to the party though, so I wouldn't care if they would reuse a mold to death. I just want more Alts.

Expect Frenzy at SDCC this year.

A Rumble repaint?

i don't see this happening honestly. the line's dead, they have the movie line, animated, and more to embelish thier exclusives on

I bet they're all gonna be repaint of existing Alternator molds.

Ho-hum. Not interested.

First off.. I'd buy any of them.

Second, even though most licenses have expired (if not all) I think we might see some overprices exclusives based on small licenses and as exclusives with some car brands. much like the Chevy Aveo deal or the Gran Turismo 4 Prologue Nissan deal when taking a testdrive.

I'd sure love to get that Chevy Aveo toy!

What's the Nissan deal? I haven't heard of that yet.

That's my guess.

I can't really see them making any kind of big investment(such as new molds) on anything exclusive. 'Exclusive' usually means some sort of repaint.

Exactly.

If it's to the point where even movie Fast Action Battles are getting repainted, what evidence is there that Hasbro is going to invest a lot in something new that will be released in a very limited quantity?

That would be nice, but it's unlikely(and can you imagine the prices those will go for on the likes of Ebay? A Rodimus repaint is one thing, but a whole new mould of, oh, Trailbreaker or Ironhide? Yikes). Rumble and Ravage didn't seem to be released in large numbers at Wal-Marts, but their volume still would have been substantially higher than exclusives.

I second the idea listed here of a Frenzy repaint of Rumble and I would also expect a repaint of Skids.

Ironhide as an exact twin of Skids?

Hmmm.. the idea doesn't sit well. I hope, at least, they'd resculpt the head or something.
