That is an excellent example of what I am talking about.
Redwing. Gee...I wonder why they named it that?

Nope, Red Wing is totally new. That one-shot was Nacelle, in an all blue generic Seeker body. For TFSS however, they took inspiration from the blue Thrust prototype.

My point is that these people can slap any silly name on these "exclusives" , charge 3-5x more than retail, and people buy it. I don't get it. They are not even characters that are relevant to anything whatsoever, except their highway robbery of the masses. I like Transformers as much as the next guy, but that is a complete waste of money.
