Re: Repaints
The black Optimus Prime repaints usually get decent traction, and HasTak always wants to get more $$$ for their particular molds (see MP-49). Some people will wait for a certain toy/mold to appear in a more appealing color scheme and go for that instead; I know that expensive black repaint of Siege Optimus Prime has a few buyers just trying to avoid the battle damage on the mainline.
I feel Megatron tolerates Starscream because despite his treachery he's still more competent than the Cons underneath him. He'd be a half decent leader if not for his ego running wild (i.e. Fall of Cybertron), and he and Soundwave are probably the only shortlist for succession if shit should happen to Megatron (even though Galvatron is usually a thing).
