QUOTE(Creature SH @ May 11 2012, 07:15 AM)  And personally, I prefer each character to look distinctive and unique, which is why I am very happy about Hasbro's recent efforts to add value to redecos with new heads, different transformations, vehicle mode bits and the like. That's all I ever really asked for! When was the last time Hasbro did a repaint that was deluxe or bigger. I mean just repaint no new parts or alternate parts that were always part of the mold, that was also a different character from a previous use of the mold...

Fallback? Deep Dive? Banzai-Tron? Strafe?
I think pretty much everything after that was either the same character or had a (p)remold. -------------------- |

Do you mean the DotM Comettor that came in a 2-pack with a Prime, Walmart exclusive? That Comettor is a deluxe.

Hmm, apparently I managed to read that as "bigger than a deluxe."
Walmart had some DotM exclusives in addition to Comettor... such as G2 Gobot Sideswipe. |

All the Wal-Mart Deluxe toys were same bot repaints so they don't count. Comettor does but he only came packer with a Voyager as an exclusive that Wal-Mart probably asked for. I bet the same thing happened with the Cybergliph Target toys too. The two biggest retailers said the wanted something exclusive so Hasbro jive out some easy yet interesting repaints. So when did Hasbro do a mass market, not the same bot repaint in deluxe or bigger, outside the movie line? I'm omitting the movie line because retailers demanded so much of it from Hasbro they they almost had to do repaints just to keep them happy. |

The lightbar and it's placement was even different from Henkei to Generations Red Alert, effectively making the backpack engine thing unmountable in robot mode (other than the gun).
