Honestly, "obscure cancelled repaints" is an absolutely fantastic idea for a subline. It's this sort of deep-cut that can only come when the company becomes full of lifelong fans and the inmates start to run the asylum. I love it.
I'm in the boat of being glad I skipped on the other versions of this Prime mold as it seems to be perfect for Toxitron. I'll probably be snagging him and Cloudcover for sure! I guess I also need to decide right now if I want another G2 Menasor while Shadowstrip is relatively affordable.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the Toxitron Collection!

TOXITRON COLLECTION: A collection of Transformers robots has risen out of the Toxic Sludge Swamps of Cybertron! Toxitron is unleashing radioactive mayhem with a team of toxic warriors • G2-INSPIRED DESIGNS: These action figures are inspired by some of the unreleased color designs from the original G2 toy line. Featuring bright neon color schemes, these figures will stand out in your collection • 2 EPIC MODES: Transformers action figure for boys and girls converts from robot to racecar mode in 20 steps • AWESOME ACCESSORIES: This G2 Universe Autobot Jazz toy for 8 year old boys and girls comes with 3 blaster accessories that attach to the figure in both modes • CELEBRATE THE LEGACY: Transformers Legacy Evolution celebrates 40 years of Transformers history. Collect different characters to create your ideal Legacy lineup (each sold separately, subject to availability)
It's extreme 90s Eco-villany with Toxitron as the main antagonist.
I am so here for it.

This "Toxitron Collection" wouldn't be a bad way to get core class Packrat out, and Fractyl too. "Furmanite Armor" could even be used as a protection against the sludge.

Man...this looks to be a fantastic sub-line that I have zero money or space for....
Jazz has been growing on me, and Toxitron looks fantastic. I'm sure Grimmy is a real sight, too.

I'm so torn by the fact that Grimlock is going to be an absolutely delightful pain in the eyes, but one of my earliest TF memories is getting a blue G2 Grimmy for my birthday, so. Augh.
I hear ya. My first experience with the original Grimlock mold was the G2 version. (Which is why I love the first Classic Grimlock, my first Grim was the Pretender and seeing those nods was GLORIOUS!)
That said, I can also look at it from the perspective that a "proper" G2 Grimlock is just a color swap from his grey to blue. It's actually kind of boring, while doing the unproduced deco is something reasonably new and different and is more distinctive from his other two releases.
Must be all the flaming hot Doritos doing a number on his digestive.
Honestly, while I'm probably not picking up anything from this Toxitron line, I find it very heartening for the strength of the franchise that they felt they could get away with an entire store exclusive line of not only garish decos, but unreleased decos at that.
Transformers must be doing alright.

I've always liked the unreleased G2 stuff, admittedly for no other reason than the fact that it was unreleased. I love that this is happening.
Sure you can! There's a Discord, too, if that's easier.
...but then, shouldn't that mean you hate this line?
