I am tired of playing the Seeker game with Hasbro though. Also, if Hasbro is stupid enough not sell TC as a general release due to its Botcon Exclusive status, then that is really just like saying they don't like making money. I really don't like to be a negative Nathan about this stuff, but the Seeker situation is pretty ridiculous.

Oh, they like making money. They like it very well. Not to worry, we've seen 4 of 6 seekers thus far. It's only a matter of time.

A thundercracker release while redecos would still share the same complete mold with Botcon TC. Hasbro can release Thrust using Takara's molds because the Botcon release had custom made wings.

A small difference but a big enough one that the guys at Funpub can't complain seeing it is a "different" piece.

But technically they can just change the paint apps/coloring enough and do anything, can't they? Hence Henkei seekers?

Without upsetting the fans who have either the BotCon or Henkei version? You nuts?
