If you're so worried about having a metallic finish, go out and buy some paint and do it yourself. Granted, this is a rather obvious marketing ploy on Hasbro's part, but that's how they make money, people. Selling stuff means more money for making new stuff. Get over it.

question... who took that hasbro tour at botcon? did you see any human shaped douche bags walking around the company?
Ruthless Cynic wrote:Hasbro is a company. The primary purpose of a company is to make money, repaints mean they do not need new molds and are more profitable. If we want more Transformers and new molds we will just have to "suffer" through the repaints. I used to buy every figure of a line and I did not mind them that. This changed with the Movie. There is just too much stuff going on. Personally I am going to pick these bad boys up as I do not have the original molds, as I knew all the Voyager figures would be repainted in due time. Do not complain to the hand that feeds.

This line is taking repaints to a whole new level. They're not even bothering to change the character names anymore. "Well, heres our Ratchet mold in 63 different colors!" Unbelievable.
And I don't mean this to sound angry or anything. I'm just amazed.

It's because they got very little to work with in the first place. Five Autobots is hardly an Autobot army. Even 8 Decepticons is more a strike team than an army. So I am personally more surprised why they haven't brought in new characters in the form of modified molds or repaints. Not even the Allspark Power guys are enough if you ask me.

Heh, they should have discussed that with Mann if they had an issue with it. I mean, this is waaay above and beyond their ussual repaint numbers fsince it is the same character over and over. Add that to the 10 different types of packaging and that is a lot of variations for any completionist. Poor bastards.
I kind of feel like I've had too much ice cream to eat. You know, it is yummy and all, but eat too much and you feel sick and don't wzant to see any more ice cream for a while. I need a break from this movie line. I can't wait till it is done and the Universe Classics start hitting the shelves.
