I'd be open to a story where we find out that Vector Prime IS the Last Autobot. Like The Doctor (who?), due to living a time-travelers lifestyle, his personal timeline does not in any way match up to everyone elses. That Marvel story takes place towards the end of his extremely long lifetime.
I would totally be down for a Last Autobot, but I could see it being redundant, design-wise, since they already are including Vector Prime. That would make 2 of the 13 pretty dang similar looking.
Now, if they want to do a Last Autobot repaint of Vector Prime as it's own thing, I'd buy it.
I wasn't really into the idea of the 13, and I doubt I'll go all-in or anything, but The Fallen was always gonna be a buy, and Prima has that sweet Five Faces of Darkness thing going for him (we really need a Trannis remold of Wreck-Gar for him to fight!), Star Convoy/Optimus is awesome, and...
Yes, but scientists are currently looking for a cure for this condition. For the price of only a cup of coffee a day, you can help.
Actually, I have to be very careful in this arena as well. I love tiny little guys, so I've had to strongly resist the siren song of those third party toys that...
I would say yes and no. On one hand, it's not like a kid is going to know who the hell Star Convoy was and therefore reject the toy as being an old obscure character that they don't care about. You can please both camps by doing new, fun toys of old characters.
On the other hand, though...
I've been enjoying the current mix. I'll admit that it is probably TOO G1 heavy, but if you asked me to describe exactly what I would want out of a Transformers line, it would be something like "G1 more-or-less in full, making sure to include the weird obscure characters that haven't had a new...
That has the added advantage of the troop builders being reasonably affordable. I can't justify buying too many copies of a $30 figure, but a $5-10 Authentics figure would be doable.
