Lets play devils advocate and they do make a Starscream figure...why would another Autobot have to be made? Faction ratio has always been off in Transformers.

I hope they do make at least Ratchet and Starscream in addition. They have easy repaint/retool potential. Not counting on it, but I'd buy them if they do.

Omega supreme or trypticon is needed. Would it be that hard to produce? I'm sure most ppl would be willing to pay top dollar for the video game versions no?

Prohably not seeing as Universe Unicron was a bit of shelf warmer. I'd love to see an Energon Omega Supreme in G1 colours.

If the WFC characters are going to be packaged along with the other lines that's a good enough answer for me. The hard part is going to be finding the ones everyone wants. Restocking (at least here in BC) seems to be not very frequent lately.

Nintendo characters are everywhere.


...I just want to play WfC...

I think the Generations Red Alert is a North American take on the Henkei version, not a WFC edition.

I'm sure it won't be hard to produce but you're thinking from a collectors POV. Remember we're just a fraction of the profits Hasbro makes on Transformers.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, these toys....are for kids. They make up the majority profits, and as such large expensive figures don't sell as well so it doesn't matter how much you think it will sell, Hasbro knows how low the return could be from making such an invent. Don't you think if there was guaranteed money in it for them, they would have done it?

Generally larger figures don't sell very quickly, look at the amount of clearance sales there's been on all the supreme sized figure. This shows that the general public just isn't that interested in paying top dollar for a large toy.

Because Ratchet, Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron and Soundwave were the first 6 Characters to be revealed by Activision. I know that might not mean anything other than on paper, but it's a fact.

Down the road in the future, Ratchet means War For Cybertron Ironhide. Starscream leads to War for Cybertron Skywarp and Thundercracker. If Generations continues, then those two molds are invaluable to Hasbro's method of repaint thinking.
