Has the TFCC run redecos of their own products like the Double Pretenders before?
I thought it strange (and kinda unoriginal) for TFCC to take a page out of Hasbro's book and just rehash a toy like that....especially so soon after the Botcon toy's release.
Indeed they have, since the beginning (the following redecoed figures all have Fun Pub-original tooling):
2005: BotCon Chromia and Flarup, BotCon Ironhide and Autobot Ratchet
2006: BotCon Axalon Cheetor and Unit 2 (Tigatron)
2007: BotCon Thrust's wings would be reused for TFSS Nacelle in 2015 (though, Nacelle would use the standard Seeker head/nosecone rather than the Conehead version)
2008: TCC Nightbeat and BotCon SG Nightbeat, BotCon SG Jazz and SG Ricochet
2009: BotCon Scourge and Sweeps
2010: BotCon G2 Breakdown would be redecoed into TFSS G1 Breakdown in 2013
2011: BotCon Breakdown and Sideswipe, BotCon Fisitron and Autotroopers
2012: TCC Runamuck and Over-Run
2013: TFSS Breakdown was a redeco of BotCon G2 Breakdown from 2010, BotCon Hoist and Autobot Electrons, BotCon Strika and Blastcharge Strika Drone, BotCon Skywarp and Thundercracker
2014: TCC Rampage and BotCon Pirate Hunter, TCC Rewind and Eject
2015: TCC Lio Convoy and Nova Prime and BotCon Galva Convoy, Nacelle uses BotCon Thrust's wings from 2007, BotCon Oilmaster's Pretender shell and 2017 TFSS Optimus Prime's Pretender shell
2016: TCC Ramjet and Skywarp
