I personally find Leader Jetfire to be the champion of that list as he is the bigggest mass release homage released this year and is an awesome example of how interesting the various roots for these toys are.
But like someone said, the thrilling 30 line in the generations series made up for this with G1, Beast Wars and Armada coming together (with Jetfire also championing the line).
You're right! Not only they doubled two figures, they just repacked unchanged retail releases! Seriously, the 30th anniversary deserved better, this feels almost as bad as Capcom "celebrating" Mega Man's anniversary by releasing a fan made game as their own, that was a new low.
Transformers came out a year later in Japan, right? Please tell me we still might get a truly spectacular SOMETHING from Takara
