heres an idea... or rather fact... prime, megatron, and the seekers outsell every other character. PERIOD. Of course you're gonna have more of those guys than anyone else... its because they sell... and its obviously working (you saying you have more primes and megatrons than any other character just proves this).wardamnpjm1 wrote:I am beginning to think we (the trans collecting community)are getting duped.I am tired of half lines(exeption animated)!

How long before encore and masterpiece follow? Then we start all over again with lines like alternity.I make a stand today,I cancelled my alternity orders.I want some continuity from a line before I start over with another with the same ol same characters!!!!Rant over.
Get over it. If they made a transformers line without prime or megs, then alot of people would freak out. Literally I've seen discussions on these forums over the past 5 years about what if they made a transformers series without prime... and they've all essentially come to a stand-still on whether it would be successful, and no one even knows because hasbro and takara wouldn't dare try it (especially not after the huge outcry after the original transformers movie, once season 3 ended on the note bringing prime back, the damage had been done and only lasted a few episodes before being canceled).
You may complain all you want that they make too many primes and megatrons, but thats because they're the most popular characters on the show.
Back on topic, I personally have a hard time wanting to buy the silver version, mostly because the look it has reminds me too much of alt Silverstreak (or bluestreak for those of you using his cartoon name). I didn't get the pickup truck version of prime (picked up the sdcc nemesis prime version, and snagged the japanese metal "scourge") so I'm pretty sure I'll get the "cartoon" acurate colors for alternity prime.
