I'd never buy most of them, but I really like the creativity that goes into each design.

Some of those did get produced, some after a few changes like Breakdown and Wildrider switching molds. The point is to get a glimpse of the brainstorming process for those figures produced or not, which is always interesting to see... not to mention how FunPub and eHobby seem to think alike

Also shown off at Pete's Robot Convention was Energon Megatron from Titans Return Black Shadow, which upon viewing a part of me died. The knowledge that it would never be made depressed me.

Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

Due to his rather unique birth, Grimlock has a slow but endearing speech pattern, which can easily make you forget he's Godzilla with style. And weapons.

It actually looks like a whole new tooling. Wouldn't surprise me; since BotCon 2014 Scorponok, the Club stepped their game up.

That's where you're... well, wrong. These ideas are not exactly wasted, in fact, I would say more of the opposite: Hasbro will most likely see these in some way (along with reactions), and put them on some list of ideas for the (far) future. If so, these figures, if released, will be much cheaper. Hopefully that puts a more positive spin on these wonderful ideas.
Also, y'know, customizers
P.S. This is not an attack, personal or otherwise.
[EDIT]: Oh, yeah, almost forgot: those box sets full of miscellaneous retools/redecos.

I'll take a big wager and say the head is totally made from scratch, possibly aside from the wings that are designed after Skar:

Transformers G1 1988 Skar (Doubleclouder) Gallery
It could even be the pretool head design for the Mindwipe mold, who knows? The design being a render leads me to think that.

It's not a render, it's just a surprisingly well done Photoshop. The wings and legs *are* Skar's. Pretty certain the head too.
Couple of tells: the legs don't match up against the body on either side, and the wings still have faint mold flash circles.
