I wonder if I am the only one who, every time I got into a store will "clean up" the Transformers section? -Put everything on its correct peg, remove "other" toys that have been randomly left there etc...I think it's kind of a sickness but I've started doing it in hopes that when its observed that there is so little stock, more will come in. I know inventory supposedly is all kept track on computers now, but I think most retail stores still do an annual physical "inventory" count...

Conversely however, when I see, say 3 pegs for TR Deluxes, and a total of 6 in stock (3 on each peg) I know this is called "facing" to make the area look nicer, however I'll put all 6 on one peg as if to say "hey you guys have room for 12 more here...c'mon what's the deal?)

Oh and this will probably start another argument but I bet Hasbro thought that Combiner Wars Prime WAS IDW Prime. The only difference is that they shoved some of his design cues onto the Motormaster version of the mould instead. But shape wise it's closer to an IDW Optimus than it is to G1 or Classics. and it certainly isn't a 1980's Freightliner.

If we wanna get technical; Thrilling 30 Orion Pax was directly based on the design in IDW's Spotlight: Blurr.

So Astrotrain keeps getting called out for looking like his Storm Bringer design (is that right? Stormbringer?).
Was that an IDW series, or Dreamwave?

Bee called out Starscream on going back to his "old body style".

I think Will was specifically referring to the Earth body design that Prime had beginning with the Costa Era onward.
