They couldn't do something simple and smart, like a coronation accessory pack? Most fans who would want a coronation Starscream already have the ER version and don't need another. Those that will double dip just for the accessories will likely be putting their ER version up on eBay, giving more toy options and lessening demand for the coronation version, especially at $50.
I'm honestly getting to the point where I hope some of these really bad decisions backfire on Hasbro.

I mean, at that point why not just use a fabric cape? It obviously wouldn't be as smooth as the movie... but neither will a plastic articulated cape.
With the increased budget, there's probably some sorta laminated fabric option they could go with.

I got Hot Rod and he's been a bit of a nightmare for fiddling. I'm starting to get the hang of him, but I've noticed that this particular corner of his hood doesn't align properly. Am I not putting something in the right spot or is this a common problem? The other side lines up perfectly.

Yeah, the Titans Return Blurr had such a good face sculpt, especially in its Takara Legends colors, that this new one just cannot compare.Nuclearxpotato wrote:When I ordered my Hot Rod, I also ordered Blurr and Kup... and now I understand people's complaints with Blurr. Kup looks weary, which I suppose is appropriate but Blurr looks like Handsome Squidward.

I doubt Sludge would be sold at Commander Class, but considering the rumors say next year we're getting two Commanders (one for SS and one for post-WFC?) at $100 each, so what if they did Sludge and Swoop in a two pack? Sludge could have a slightly larger parts count and Swoop a slightly smaller one compared to Grimlock and Slag, but still at the comparable size. This would still sell the two at the equivalent price of two Leaders without having to compromise.
Another thing to consider is wouldn't a proper Sludge need "ladder magic" to hide his massive dino head and neck inside his body? I know when he transforms the whole thing is there, but it just sort of sinks into his back otherwise with just the base visible. Not sure how accurate they want things, but seeing as how they gave Slag a fake jaw...[/img]

Pretty much my guess.

Wreck-Gar and the other Junkions are larger than you may remember, actually. Voyager size seems about right. Wreck-Gar is way taller than Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, or Arcee. He's a similar stature to the likes of Rodimus Prime and Springer.
