I don't get why people complain about redecos. It's the nature of the business, and they're trying to give us a new character, rather than a Fireblast energon stealth version of the same character. Even third party companies do repaints and I don't see people bitching about that (not that I go into the 3rd party forums, as I have nothing constructive to add to those threads), it's almost like people think that these redeco's are taking away an opportunity to release a new mold, which it isn't, Hasbro has to make the most out of these molds. If you don't like it, don't buy it, that's all there is to it, but coming down on Hasbro for a practice that has been happening since the beginning of Transformers as well as being used in just about every other toy line is ridiculous.
I'm hoping that #16 is the rumored Prowl (Smokescreen redeco?) - or is that one of the 15 we've "seen"? I can't keep up anymore.
Yeah, Prowl is in the 15 we know. 1. BH Bumblebee 2. BH Soundwave 3. BH Wheeljack 4. Laserback 5. BH Bulkhead 6. BH Starscream 7. BH Smokescreen 8. Ripclaw 9. BH Ratchet 10. BH Dreadwing 11. Skystalker 12. BH Arcee 13. BH Knockout 14. Vertebreak 15. Prowl 16. ???
I can understand when people complain about it's not what they want repainted etc. but it is ridiculous when people complain about repaints at all. There is always the guy who will say zomg Hasbro when did you start doing all these repaints. These people have no ideas of how business or Transformers works, it's been this way since the beginning. At least with the newer repaints they have changed up heads and such I remember when that is what the out cry was for then they started doing it. Actually they can repaint it and call it Huffer if they want. Then if they did make Huffer a deluxe people would complain that he's too large and should be smaller since he was a mini-bot, even though in reality he would have been as big as the others.
I don't understand what the complaints are about... He is TRANSFORMERS PRIME Huffer, NOT G1 Huffer. To be disappointed that it's not something you want to repurpose it into... is just having unrealistic expectations.
why are so many people saying that Huffer is deluxe #16? There is no evidence for this. Deluxe #16 may be Huffer but he just as might be a new Breakdown, or Airachnid, etc.
