Yeah, what's up with that? Ultra Magnus has at least a little basis as to why most of his figures are just a repainted Prime. However, that's not how he was ever portrayed(save one issue). And I know it's been used before, but it just fits the situation perfect:

It is getting annoying with Cliffjumper though. He was obviously never a repaint of Bumblebee. They could at least remold the head. You know why I think the Season 3 Mini-bots are awsome? Cause they all had new chests/heads/faces, arms in the case of Outback, and even a slight alt. mode variation in the case of Hubcap. Would a new face be that hard to make, or that expensive? Heck, the Season 2 Seekers benefited as being more than just repaints in my opinion because of the new parts.
And deluxes do seem to be the only thing seling in the movie line(well, that and voyagers and possibly leaders). Real Gear, movie helmets, Cyber Slammers, Fast Action Battlers, whatever else is out there, shelf warmers for the most part.
