If I spent my entire life searching, do you think I would find someone on the street who knows what Transtech is? At least Animated got released and has fans who seemingly never lose patience.

Oh, DNA surely will. But they will also include the unnecessary gap fillers, leg extenders, extra hands, and all the other stuff that no one needs, to justify whatever arbitrary price point they're going for.
At this point I would be surprised if the kit includes the parts we do want. DNA has gotten weird.
Me too!
I only ordered 1 set, but I fully expect that if I run into them "in the wild," I'll probably cave and splurge on a second so that I can display each head option.
I used to really look forward to both Toyhax sticker sets and DNA upgrade kits, but these days, both of their sets for most TFs seem to be bloated, irrelevant and overpriced. I think they both need to have a long look at themselves and start releasing smaller sets more in-tune with "essential" features fans want.
In fact, I think both companies should sell such sets together. I would love it if I could buy the types of "PayPal only" kits sold at TFSafari, plus a few stickers to give extra details for around 20-40 dollars (depending on the amount of wanted items in the set).
What I don't want are toys mummified in stickers, complete with leg-fillers, massive, unwieldy weapons the original toy/character never had, a hardly noticeable increase in height, screw hole covers and extra characters that are being sold by Hasbro anyway. Just give me the bloody weapons and features and paint/sticker details the original toy had and be done with it.

It can't, simple as that, but one can only guess that Hasbro planned to do either a new mold or retool the existing verison, but we'll never know as Hasbro cut the series short as it hit its stride
It's all those cell towers, man, pumping that 5G into you.
Hasbro's plan was to make the wing pack compatible with both the Voyager and the Deluxe mold, and would have released it with the Deluxe:
Maybe they never did manage to make it work. We'll never know.
Popeye forearms lookin ass
Must be new toy week, saw the newest wave of Deluxes at Target today, along with Studio Series Voyager Rhinox and Gamer Megatron.
Like a dweeb, I got the Beast Combiners Optimus Prime instead of the new Legacy stuff.

You... you don't need to use every sticker ToyHax includes in a set. In fact a lot of that "bloat" are redundant options to give the customer agency.
I get that this may chafe you, buying stickers you don't need, but I'm always going to be a fan of giving customers options.
I prefer my customer agency to provide for things like not having to spend money on stuff I'm not going to use and not, you know, after the fact justification for selling bloated sticker sets. "You don't have to use all of them" isn't really a solution when it's not USING them I have a problem with, it's having to buy them!
I just want whoever started that shitty toon window sticker detailing crap shot into the sun tbh.
I'd like for one of those "options" to be "the ability to pay less and get what I actually want" rather than "pay more to get a bunch of stuff I never wanted."
I mean you don't /have/ to buy them; you don't /have/ to buy anything. Them existing doesn't mean you must get them, same with upgrade kits.
It reminds me of when DNA sold their Scorponok kits in three separate kits, so I was able to buy the two that I wanted. However, even they combine them all together in an overpriced kit for Black Zarak, I didn't bother with it. I could be wrong but the "main" two Scorp sets sold out quickly but Black Zarak kits weren't sold out for ages (or even up to now)?
This may not fit here but does anybody else think it's weird that ER Prime is one of the only Optimus figures to not get a Nemesis/Scourge redeco? I was hoping for a Gen Selects release but now I'm not too confident
