I didn't imply that at all. By saying that I mean that they had enough forsight to designate a spot for a character who's obscure even for hardcore fans, and might would even be too obscure for Botcon, and not find a way to bring about characters that have been consistantly asked for since the original Classics line.
In order to "take a slot" said character would have to be scheduled in the first place, then killed so Black Shadow could take it's place.

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 wasn't suggesting that they take the Thunderwing mold and turn it into Bumblebee. But if they had, then that would be pretty cool and a nice change up from what we've gotten the last five years.
I know you didn't. That's why I made the joke.

Quote:
I completely agree on what I see as too many Optimus and Bumblebee toys, but apparently they sell better than we think. Otherwise, why would Hasbro keep doing it if they were losing money on it?
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.

Quote:
True, but the Voyager case was an easier example. Also, I'm not a fan of them referring to the deluxe and voyager assortments as a sub-line called "Robots in Disguise" (although, PRiD versus RiD is less confusing than Prime Prime ).
Wait until we get Prime Primal Prime!
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.
