X-Transbots did the same thing.
Because he's more of a generic robot than a figure meant to be an army building generic
And you think Cobra Rattlers aren't "army building generic" ? According to the reviewer, the bio says he is a mindless drone. (stated during the gun mode segment)
Do read the posts you quote?

Gee, I wonder, what I'm referencing to when I say an army building generic, could it possibly be the the viper figure? Could I possibly be saying that tailwind is less interesting, than viper a figure that is meant to represent the decepticon/cobra equivalent of a Stormtrooper?
Anyhow, if that was a little to subtle, yes I think Viper has worlds more personality in his appearance, compared to tailwind. Especially when you consider the latter of the two is just a blob of grey with blue limbs. If that warrants a figure, then i'd rather have a generations
Bad Boy before tailwind.
You did not specify who you meant when you said "he". One could take your comment either way. I took it as the oppisite of what you intended.
Anyways I always found GI Joe toys to be a little boring. I did own a sky striker as a kid, but never cared about collecting a bunch of little men. I preferred me some kick ass robots. I would much rather have a tailwind. I slapped a con logo right on x-transbots version of the rattler and he has been tailwind ever since.
