There will always be retools and repaints for cost reasons and to make sure HasTak gets full millage out of the molds.

I even lost count. 10th ? 12th repaints/retools ?

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Yet people love the Seekers, Datsun brothers and characters who are repaints.
I do agree that it's a little boring but it's a choice you either buy the toy or you don't since no one ever made you choose to buy it.

Hotspot
Pyra Magma
Onslaught
G2 Onslaught
Bludgeon
Mega Empress
Mega-Octane
Ok, not 10 as I thought, but already 7. In only 2 years. Enough to become boring.

It's unfair to count Mega Empress, G2 Onslaught, Bludgeon, and, arguably, Mega-Octane.
Mega Empress is the Takara counterpart of Pyra Magna, they weren't released in the same market. If you're going to count both of those you should count the Hasbro and Takara versions of Hot Spot separately.
G2 Onslaught is supposed to be a redeco of Onslaught, you're not going to get a version of him that isn't and you're not missing something by getting him. Mega-Octane is the same, and is arguably the Takara counterpart to G2 Onslaught as well.
Bludgeon is a TFSS toy.

Totally agreed. If the toy ends up looking like her depiction in the art it'll be an instabuy from me. Admittedly, my expectations are tempered by the knowledge that she's being retooled (or even redecoed if worst comes to worst) from the Puffmaster himself, but hopefully they'll find a way to shave off that extra ballooniness from the mold for this iteration. Put me down as tentatively hopeful

She's got to be able to combine and support limbs so don't put your expectations to the point of being improbable also don't be relying on art work. Abominus isn't going to look like that art. He won't have the monster heads on the legs, his chest is not one solid piece and the tail on the back is incorrect. It's art mimicking the original toy and model.
Same as volcanicus, his art proportions do not look like th toy.
The truth is the artist who drew them was given pictures and designs and they drew it, with Elita they were told "it's a Starscream retool as elite one" and I guarantee the artist made it by looking up pictures of elita from the cartoon and given pictures of Starscreams toy
I mean honestly, look at moonracer. That’s the cartoon model. She doesn’t look like her toy at all.
