All they did was take off the top and replace wheels with treads which isn't impressive since the wheels just clipped on to begin with. It's a good figure don't get me wrong but I don't think it warrants all the praise it gets.

Drill.

I'm not sure if they can be counted as true retools, since the modes are generally the same, but I'm willing to give a pass based on all the translucent bits. (Well, technically Optimus gets a new face sculpt, so that's about as minor a retool as you'll find.)

Overall, good list, but I'd say some of the retools in Titans Return are worthy of mention, or at least will be. PM Prime was a great one, and Blurr/Brainstorm is also a good looking one.
Another one I will bring up is Rook to Swindle and Rook to Nosecone. Those are amazing retools on a great figure

But dont those examples get us into the Pre-tool vs Re-tool debate? Is it fair to judge one against the other when it was planned all along for the molds to be shared? I dont have an opinion on this, I am just asking what you guys think. Is it worth differentiating the two?
Also, I didnt know you owned PM Prime, D-Max, you like him that much?

I don't own Prime yet, but I've heard lots of praise for it and I really like the Magnus mold. Plus, it is a very extensive retool and it looks good in both modes, so I was judging it based on that (and I will get it eventually).

Or maybe because I dont think it's a great toy. I dont feel it improves on the original mold at all and instead feels like a cheap way to remake Powermaster Prime, similarly to how I feel about Fort Max.

You're a bit harsh here. Once you just accept that the half-soft plastics are a main TF things, everything else seem perfectly fine. I personally think it's a genius design that follow the original closely without being it's slave. My only true complaint is the hollowness of the inner arms. This desperately need a shapeway upgrade. Other than that, it's perfection. The transformation is brilliant, everything tab in perfectly, and there is absolutely nothing loose.
