Has anyone else noticed the immense focus on the Decepticon side from third parties this year?

Look at what we have seen or at least know about in a detailed sense from the big* names:
Fansproject:

Causality 1-5 (Warcry, Flameblast, Stormshred, Thunderbomb, Backfire)

MasterMind Creations:

Cyclops
Assassin Squad (Insecticons, again)

Perfect Effect:

Scouting Force X (Edge, Bullet, Shield)
teaser pic of Soundwave
Laser/Buzzer (only mentioned but we know exactly what they are)

TFClub:

Infinity Warfare set (technically made for Predaking)
Project DEVA
NOT Reflector (again)
theoretically one of those WWII tanks

Headrobots:

Blood: the Dark Warrior set
DX Blood set

BTS Toys: Sonicron (hmm, I see a lot of something else going on too)
Crazy Devy: in the middle of upgrades for Predaking and just started on Piranacon
Xovergen: War for Cybertron Megatron hand upgrades

Now let's apply those same rules what's happening in the same sense on the Autobot team:

Fansproject: WB-002 should be Broadside (SG Springer would be WB-001(_), right?)
TFClub: theoretically one of those WWII tanks
Headrobots: is the Gyro set still happening?
Xovergen: War for Cybertron Optimus hand upgrades
Devil Horns: Classics Cliffjumper upgrade
???: upgrade set and trailer for Laser Optimus

*By "big" I mean able to produce enough to sell their product through online retail.
Feel free to add or correct me, but from where I sit, everything else is shrowded in mystery. FP's Collector & Glacialbot weren't directly mentioned in their 2011 list.

It's a nice balance with the relative lack of Decepticons in Generations/RTS, IMHO.

dont forget Headrobots toon accurate Hardhead...I know I haven't!

i have to admit it would be great if they showed some love to the decepticons as my neo g1 shelves are dominated by autobots. from what weve seen from instruction scans we could be in for more cons when dotm dies down

nonetheless im pretty impressed with the charachters weve gotten so far like banzai, bludgeon, thunderwing and a few others.
