In the meanwhile, how about using those profits to create new and better designed Transformers? (Instead of the countless repaints/remoulds)
Here's an idea for a starter; stop designating certain products to certain countries (like 'Buster' Prime and the EZ Devastator). Whatever happened to equality?

heres a tip hastak get rid of the lights and sounds and focus on the details,look at the masterpiece, binaltech, and alternity lines no electronics,no lights and yet stunning detail.
dont mean to sound angry but im more about quality and detail than gimmicks and yes i know these toys are mainly marketed for kids but theres a reason the stores in my area haveabout 20 of each and every figure.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

1: They do try to create new moulds. There is a set BUDGET for each line, so the amount of new moulds are finite. That's why Energon's -Maximus toys have 2 Basic moulds and a Delux torso mould.
2: Buster Prime is entirely Takara's thing. Hasbro are merely business partners with Takara (While still controling the overall direction of the franchise).
And before you call BS on me: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Misconceptions_and_urban_legends_about_Transformers
