The only role-play toys I could see with GL is a ring, a mask, and a lantern. Beyond that, they're just fishing for money.

Um, most of those appeared in later waves of G1. The first two waves of G1 were just like DOTM in terms of alt-mode variety. Hell, the entire first year of G1 (1984) only had 4 other alt modes besides cars and trucks (gun, cassette player, cassette, plane). DOTM is up to 8 besides cars and trucks through its first two waves (plane, helicoptor, VTOL, tank, ATV/Trike, snowmobile, spider tank, dune buggy).

Also, DOTM is somewhat limited by the fact that most, if not all, of the toys have to be based in reality or near-future military tech. G1 never had that limitation because it was all fantasy-based. So no mechanical dinosaurs, insects, beasts or monsters unless that's the "robot" mode (i.e. Ravage and Laserbeak).

My point is you might want to have a little more patience and wait to see what else is coming down the pipe, especially with SDCC still to come. Also, check out Cyberverse Hatchet for some REAL variety. Peaugh even did a review of him last week and I'm looking forward to it.

In his review he basically says "This is the Ravage we should have gotten", and I agree.
