I do not understand this logic. The Decepticons were vastly outnumbered. They also had precious few unique body types, with more than half the original Decepticon toyline burned through in MP-13, MP-15 and MP-16. Break out the original catalogue's checklist and tick them off. They've even been gifted/bolstered with the addition of MP-09B, MP-10B, MP-13B, MP-23, MP-11S, and Acid Storm. Unless, perhaps you want them to go further and milk the MP-11 mold even further, into more Seekers such as the MTMTE-generics, Hotlink, Bitstream, etc.
In terms of percentage of their roster completed, the Decepticons are far and away ahead of the Autobots.

Yeah It would be time to get some cons. We need a Shockwave that isnt 400+$! On top of that Fanstoys is already making a Hound that will probably be superior to what Hasbro/Takara could make.

At least its not a "recolor/retool of Ironhide mold" Ratchet. That will probably be MP-29

I'm not sure what you want here. The $400 Shockwave is from FansToys, and if you like them, fine, but you're going to have to pay more for them. Also, if you have a problem with recolors and retools into other characters, you've picked the wrong line to collect. Try MOTU.

I would like them to make Shockwave because the excellent one that FansToys made is only available through the 2nd hand market at a price thats really high.

Im not against retool/recolor, just saying that Hound (a new mold) would be more exciting.

I am also pointing out that a 3rd party cie is making better mp than Hasbro/Takara. There isnt much of a price difference between them maybe 10-20$ at retail.
