You're forgetting something, this was intended to be a dual homage.



There's your colors, just less yellow and more gold.

Meanwhile I found TR Wave 2 Deluxe at Walmart today. Still haven't found any Leaders or Voyagers the only Deluxe class I've found are Scourge and Blur locally (and they didn't stick around, I bought the one Scourge). I really miss the old days when stuff lingered and you didn't have to buy on sight to get what you wanted. Ended up buying Mindwipe and like him a lot. I've never had a problem with the looks of this figure, but it was tough choosing him over Wolfwire. Still, Skullsmasher is the figure I want most from the line, I'll have to get him online if the revision wave doesn't work out.

I mean to be fair, so far we've literally just seen one Voyager repaint in the whole line. Every other Voyager mold in TR so far has no re-use that we can look at and judge. And... well. A line including both recolours and retools is not unheard of. Kind of happens all the time, actually. I don't quite see a single figure (Astrotrain) as proof of retooling for a figure not being done.

I'm not just using Astrotrain as a basis for my belief, but the overall track record of Hasbro, and my gut.

The track record of Hasbro whose Voyager waves in the last line - note, the line most heavily laden with mold redecoes possibly more than any other - consisting of...

Silverbolt - Cyclonus (Major retool), Scattershot (Major retool)
Optimus Prime - Motormaster (not-quite-so-major-but-still-much-more-than-a-new-head retool), Battle Core Optimus Prime (new head Retool)
Hot Spot - Onslaught (Retool)
Sky Lynx

I know, I know; Timelines, G2 Boxsets, Victorion yadda yadda but this is just concerning mainline releases since that's what our conversation was concerning. So if possibly the most redeco-heavy line in Transformers history has, for Voyagers, a single new head retool while all the others are larger-scale retools... I'm not really seeing your point.
