Okay, so Shockwave, the most popular figure among wave 1, was dropped in favor of 2 Optimi...

Makes perfect sense, Hasbro.

Because in reality, Optimus is more popular than Shockwave.

The character, of course. But the toy?

How many kids would want that craptastic thing over a TFP Optimus?

A wave I could care less about.

You must shift your thinking. You should be asking "Which toy's name would parents recognize easier?" There is a right answer to this query and here's a hint: It's not Shockwave.

I think that with a new head sculpt that Onslaught (I THINK that's Onslaught right above Prime) would make a great cybertronian Kup repaint.

Pffft, I can't wait for Wave 3's Cybertronian Bumblebee, Cybertronian Shadow Strike Bumblebee, Cybertronian Battle Blades Bumblebee, Cybertronian Battle Damage Bumblebee, Cybertronian Stealth Attack bumblebee, Cybertronian Earthmode Battle Damage Strike Blades Bumblebee...........

They already made a Bumblebee for this line. They didn't make another one for Universe in 2008 when they had already made Classics Bumblebee in 2006.

they did remake Optimus though and isn't the new one horrible? Ah well, at least it gives us an AWESOME repaint in Ultra "take my money now" Magnus.

Not sure they'd bother to remake BB since the new game model seems identical to the old one, but it hasn't stopped them with Soundwave, and honestly, I wouldn't complain at a re-release of the first WFC Bumblebee. It looks like a nice toy, I don't have it, and it's the same design as the current IDW comics.
