Then again, this is Hasbro we're talking about.

It's simple marketing. Packing Primes and Megatrons seperately with other third-tier characters forces you to buy multiple packs, thus making them more money.

I got all the G1 figs, I skipped the movie versions, but I have to say I've been eagerly waiting for these!
So once again, when they hit the shelves I shall wave them tauntingly infront of the 3 inch Titanium shelf warmers

Still, I love the fact that they based her on an Asian Striper!
We'll never get something that cool again

Oh yeah. Robots. Heroes. Neat and whatever.
THE PACKAGING RULES!

Nice stuff, packaging is sharp - Hound and Blitzwing are adorable, maybe one of the best Heroes sets yet. I LOVE the Beast Wars guys too, but why is Megatron blue with a purple face? He looks like he's wearing a children's snowsuit...

I love these little guys. Cant wait for them to come out. Much better than the crappy movie versions.

I've got all the G1 RH (skipped the movie set) so these are a no brainer for me.

Didn't he have an exclusive repaint? Like a Convention exclusive or something? It was black and looked badass!

Shocktaract, repaint as a new character doesn't count.

The packaging looks sharp. Better than Animated.

It just makes more business sense to me; even though I'd prefer to see more obscure G1 characters, it probably won't happen.
BUT, I like the Animated style so much, I guess I'll be happy either way.
