The Energon weapons only came with scout (aka basic) class toys in the Transformers: Energon toy line. Starscream's weapons were always sold with the toy. It was toys like Ravage, Cruellock, Drillbit, Skyblast, Arcee, Strongarm and the others and repaints that had the weapon the Deluxe, Voyagers, Leaders, and the other toys could hold. My biggest gripe with that was the fact that most of the weapons didn't work well with bigger toys (there were exceptions of course most notable with Megatron/Galvatron being able to hold Cruellock's sword) but for the most it was probably dropped because it was hard to design and this also meant people would have buy two Transformers to get that feature to work. Also remember that Transformers: Energon had poor distribution in some areas and that didn't help matters.
BOT: I like the Botcon exclusives.
