We thanks fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade for letting us know of this neat tidit. Evan Brooks, the Hasbro designer who is handling the Omega Prime Haslab figure is responding to multiple fans on social media. The question of redecos came up and fans were wondering if this being a Haslab release meant there wouldn'd be a chance of that. Well the short answer is "no", as Evan says
"It's certainly possible, I think. I think this is new Territory for the Haslab teams as there hasn't been such an outcry for a future Redeco of a figure until now, haha"

He also confirmed that the ladder can extend. Below is a screenshot of said quotes.

Until now, the others TF Haslabs really didn't lend themselves to "practical" Redecos. But I thought part of what made a Haslab special was the idea that it would only be usedfor that purpose, and never again. I mean the molds for Unicron, VS, and DS still exist, they could put our feelers for another run, but of course, probably face backlash for it.

I think certainly there would be room for another run of Unicron. I would probably buy a second one myself. But repaint potential would be limited to what? 2 other color variations based off the Unicron Trilogy?
Victory Saber I think they could do some sort of shattered glass concept while understanding there would be a smaller run and smaller demand than even for VS. Deathsaurus would have a potential repaint as Red Geist which would be a fun way to bring some Brave Universe into the Legacy line. But again that market would likely be very small. like 1/3rd of the run of Deathsaurus
