Then I retract my comment regarding it.

As for repaints: Tigerhawk springs to mind immidiately (I mean like, it's perfect. No new head even needed). I actually had a surprisingly sizable list of characters the mold would work for, but lost it with the death of the TCC board.

I have to disagree. Beast Wars Tigerhawk out of Generations Thunderwing is quite a stretch without some remolding. He would need a different torso, shoulders (even without them being asymmetrical as on his BW toy), and head. Too bad about your list, though. I really would have liked to see some of your other ideas for the mold.

Because they don't tell us everything. I think the brand as a whole, toy wise at least, transformers is struggling. Way worse than Hasbro is letting on. I know botcon is in just a few days and things may change, but Hasbro has almost nothing planned for this year. A handfull of Prime, and a handfull of Generations.

According to Hasbro's 1Q report, so far Transformers is doing about the same as last year, even with it being a non-movie year, so I wouldn't say it's struggling at all. Also, Transformers Prime is a hit at retail (so far). But this is all way off-topic, so just check out the TFW coverage here, if you haven't already.

Wait until we get Prime Primal Prime!

I almost thought about making a Primal Prime joke in my last post, but thought the "ultimate gimmick Bumblebee" joke was better.

Likewise, I also hate reusing the Robots in Disguise branding for Prime. It does a huge dishonor to one of the better eras of the franchise, which is already treated like the redheaded stepchild of Transformers.

I don't consider it a dishonor to RiD, so much as creating unnecessary confusion between older and younger fans. Then again, you and I have differing opinions on Transformer Prime, so that probably has something to do with it. But that's a topic for another thread.

While Crazy Jetty has his opinion on the TFP show and toys (and he is certainly entitled to it), I respectfully disagree with him. TFP is among my favorite TF series (up there with Animated, Beast Wars, RiD and G1). I just wish they had used a different subtitle for the voyagers/deluxes.
