So. If this is the way we're getting the remaining primes (based on Predaking's card, I think that it is (additionally, we are already getting a Special Edition of Prima)), what in the hell was the point in the pretender shells... What was the GODDAMN POINT?!
And why the Special Editions of the ones that have special editions?!
Hasbro has done a lot of good things to appease the fans this year. But man... This is so... tonedeaf...

The point of the Pretender Shells was to have Pretender Shells. Hasbro (arguably rightfully) believed that they couldbt justify a line of non transfirm8ng $18 Action Hero toys in their pimary toyline, but they knew the Fandom wanted the Pretenders and didnt want them in the dtyle of Classics Skullgrin and Thunderwing, or TR Metalhawk. So they did what they thought would be fair, but wouldnt cist them a ton if they didnt catch on with the Kids majority of the market. Sure they were CAALLED something different, and had odd power up abilities , but those Prime Master dudes are 100% the Pretender they are Pretending to Be so the Fandom can repurpose them. Its not any more complicated than that.

If I do see the PM's selling individually for a reasonable price, I may try to get them. Otherwise, it is what it is...

That largely depends on the fans. I'm not into the movie line, but if I was, I would want the Bumbleebee way more than the obscure cassette's. Don't get me wrong, they are very cool, but without a G1 Soundwave/Blaster, they are virtually useless to me.
As for the generations line, I have a much different take on this. I was just meh on the regular release Primal. This one I like much better and ti comes with bonus prime masters and a cool looking scepter. Instant buy for me, and regular release is history, no interest any more.
