Anybody else feel like they should try to focus on other characters besides Bumblebee and Optimus? Honestly there must be 90 different iterations of the same character being released this year.

Yes I do. But really, this is horrible. According to BBTS, there are 5 Activators molds, and they're already starting to repaint them. PCC has really early repaints as well. I know it costs money to make figures, but my gosh, putting out repaints of such recent figures just screams shelfwarmer. At least wait six months before putting out the same product again.

Hell I would understand release of repaints if the models were made out of better materials (I miss diecast) and were halfway decent transformation, however these molds are not the best designs. What they make off the sales and manufacture of probably a 100 units pays for materials and molds. There is no point in milking a dead cow.

Move on, give us some characters like Jazz, Prowl, Skywarp, etc.
