    Are you sure that Seaspray has yellow paint or is it just flash photography? Is it worth buying another Seaspray for some dabs of yellow instead of gold? I'd say that money would be better off going towards Encore Predaking... :wink:

    Sorry to say but I think that Seaspray's yellow looks really gaudy when combined with the overall design of the figure. Just doesn't fit as well as the gold does, IMO.

    They take away the diecast they have to make new molds for those parts, effectively eliminating any profit margin.

    At BotCon 2009 the Hasbro TF Team said they wouldn't come out with those figures in America because they don't have licensing agreements with those car companies. Only TakaraTomy does.

    plus the fact he mentions and asks they not be called by their respectable names. that right there would kill the sales even if they did. if it is name op, megs, bb, starscream, kids, who are the main target will recognize them. call them anything else kids will not care.

    Yeah. I really wish they'd come up with that mold in the first place, just with the swords instead of the guns. The red on the Hasbro version really ruins it, and it's really not needed to make it different given the umpteen deluxe Bumblebees with identical alt modes....
