I am sure these guys would love to start with Devastator or Omega Supreme but the money/investment is not there yet. This is going to be a journey and one that will only be successful if the fandom gets behind it.

I get that, and the repaint potential for these two makes sense.
Frankly, starting out with a larger figure like Omega would be far riskier than Huffer and Pipes, seeing as how much larger and therefore expensive it would be
Whet people's appetite with a few smaller, more affordable figures and they might stick around when the larger more expensive ones come around.
I think the Animated Decepticons need more filling out.
I wonder what the feasability would be to get the rest of the Starscream clones would be? And might they make a whole new mold for them or just copy the existing one (excluding Slipstream who needs her own mold).
