    Does that include weapons and accessories? Because there were a lot missing.

    The only weapons missing were Starscream's feet-guns and Swoop's sword, but you can see them in each figures packaging. So fret not. Everyone else included their accessories with the exception of Dreadwind and Darkwing, and Jazz not having their hand/armor out but you can see it in Jazz's packaging and we know they all come with one.

    Was there a picture of Grimlock's sword and gun? I don't remember seeing it.

    Even so all the Bee's are still virtually identical robots who turn into yellow with black racing stripes and all the Optimus except for Evasion Mode are long nose red and blue cabs that form pretty much the same looking robot. Especially if you aren't looking closely. Now look at the four looks Optimus Primal and Cheetor sported. All were differently colored and looked massively different. Same thing with the Armada/Energon/Cybertron trilogy. You couldn't just sub in an Armada Prime and not really tell the difference.
    Looks like it'll be blue. While I do prefer the blue, I'd hope you can get the red if you really want it. I suspect that not only show accuracy, but also changing up the colors in the wave played a part in the decision.

    Can't really agree there. AOE Bee and OP are really different looking. If nothing else, I think people would notice Bee lost his vehicle chest and door wings and gained weird circular things on his back. Likewise, Optimus lost his window chests and gained a more human chest and a knight motif.
