... Well I guess I missed that.... Either way, I would only buy HA Roadbuster and Leadfoot if they make Topspin, which seems unlikely now , so I'll stick with the deluxe's. I would love to see a HA Dino or Wheeljack, but even that seems unlikely... man the DOTM line has been dissapointing

Since Hasbro is getting so overboard on releasing so many repaints & new molds for bumblebee in the movie verse toy lines. I WAS KINDA HOPING WE'D GET A STEALTH MODE $29.99 HA BUMBLEBEE OR A NITRO BUMBLEBEE FOR THE $29.99 HA TOY LINE.

I was really hoping hasbro would repaint some $29.99 HA toys from Rotf like repaint $29.99 HA barricade into G-1 Prowl colors & call it movieverse prowl.

other $29.99 HA ROTF repaints I would have liked to see was sideswipe recolored blue & called tracks. $29.99 Jazz recolored in those target G-1 Jazz white colors with the racing decals.

I suspose $29.99 DOTM HA Roadbuster could easily be recolored & turned into Hotrod/Rodimus. ofcause they'd have to give the toy a hotrod styled head sculpt & maybe a targetmaster either new or borrowed from another toy who had a targetmaster.

I'm not sure what hurts this line more, the $30 price point or the horrendously poopy repaints. Probably the latter, but the former doesn't help its cause any either. I know I'm skipping the Wreckers because they're just too expensive and don't look impressive enough to warrant the price tag. Of course that it looks like they're only doing 2 of the 3 doesn't help their cause either.

*Actually Bumblebee is really the only 'poopy' repaint...the others are just incredibly pointless. So maybe the $30 price point is the larger factor in these things not moving.

For what it's worth, IMO the only desirable DOTM HA figures so far have been Roadbuster, and Leadfoot. If Hasbro was going to put out another Bumblebee, they should have just done some small weapons and mold tweaks to the ROTF/ HFTD Bumblebee, and packed the cases evenly with Roadbuster and Bee. As for HA Skids, no offense to anyone, but they should have passed on that and given us a HA Sideswipe in silver. This would have been a better seller, and would have only required small tweaks as well to original Coupe mold.

Now as for Target exclusive HA Leadfoot...this was a good call on Hasbro and Targets part. This figure appeals to TF fans as well as NASCAR fans, as does the HA Roadbuster.
Maybe we will get lucky and get a HA Top Spin to complete the trio.

I have been reading a lot of Transformer forums, and I am sure if Hasbro made a DOTM HA Dino/Mirage, they wouldn't have to worry too much about them selling well.

If Hasbro is hopefully watching these forums, maybe they can consider giving us a DOTM HA Dino/Mirage along with the planned HA Soundwave.
