you're telling me the company is so cheap that it wont bother to create a new design? they'd rather just repaint an existing one and pretend its someone else?
i can understand doing this for similar looking characters like bumblebee/cliffjumper or starscream and the other jets but otherwise....its just silly.

So Bluestreak and Smokescreen should have been nothing but new versions of Prowl ("Undercover Prowl" and "Racetrack Prowl" maybe)?
And Thundercracker and Skywarp just new decos of Starscream ("Nightflight Starscream" and "Purple Rain" Starscream perhaps)?
There is no Frenzy and Rumble - there's only Fremble, and he comes in BOTH red and blue! And there's only Lasersaw, who is both red and orange!
Seriously, 'new character' repaints are pretty much tradition. And I'd actually rather buy a 'new character' repaint than a 'redecoed old character' repaint.

Not a very good one either but still ANOTHER FREAKIN' REPAINT!
Both the previous movie line and (by the looks of things) the ROTF toyline aren't even trying anymore. They only release around 10-15 new molds and then repaint them all in different schemes and sometimes even retool them a little to pose them as either G1 repaints of themselves or as other characters.
THEN the movie line decided to take previous molds from other toylines and, you guessed it, repaint them aswell. A good move in general for those that didn't get the opportunity to buy that specific mold, but I fail to count it as new as all it is, is a repaint.
From what i've seen the Constructicons are a big let down, Megatron is passable, Optimus looks ok but needs a gun, Jetfire is hideous and probably the only new figure I am looking for to is The Fallen himself
*sigh* and they are cancelling Animated for THIS
