Y'know, when I heard the rumours of a cyclonus' armada set, and a junkion set, that was exactly what I was hoping it to be.
But instead we get this SHIZZLESNIT show
Ironically, I wonder if hasbro considered doing that (it would be cheap) but thought that we (consumers) would say that that was '
lazy' of them, and changed it at the last minute
It seems possible. But considering some of the mold choices (e.g. Classics Hotrod, Universe Galvatron & Titanium Rodimus) I'd say they're very much dissociated from any idea of what the fans want, at least for the platinum sets.
I just keep wondering 'who are they for?'.
The pricepoint is too high for your average casual fan to go "oh wow, i remember these guys!", a lot of the more seasoned collectors will already have most of the molds and characters in one way or another, or even be looking to get new versions in the case of Galvatron. The diehard G1 fabs will look at the inaccurate deccos and be turned off.
The decco doesn't even seem to be the sort of premium paint job stuff you'd get from an e-hobby or asain market 3-pack set to justify that price.
Who actually wants to buy these?
