I might be tempted by the Decepticon set but these are pretty pricey! $100 including shipping and that's just for those of us who live in Japan.

Blech, pass on these for sure. Not only do I dislike battle damage, I'm also not a fan of clear figures. Junkion is the only one that sounds interesting, and chances are we'll get the remold down the line with Hasbro anyway.

That clear purple plastic will have to look pretty darn cool for me to part with 8,000 yen.

Double pass on these, as I share the sentiments of the majority on here. Most of the versions I get, but why clear blue Rodimus?

A wasted opportunity. I'm sorry but he would have looked super cool in movie accurate colours (pink, orange, yellow and grey).
The Decepticon pack could be cool if it's done right but I'd have to love it for that price.

blue Rodimus doesn't bother me one way or the other, the Junkion will hopefully be released separately (or a 3rd party company will do a bunch of add-ons in a set, a few new heads some armour and weapons?) but Damaged Kup? could be more in line with the cartoon/movie colouring. He was always a bit dinged up on screen. That'd be nice.

I always see Kup as old and rusty, so the "battle damage" may be appropriate.
Depending on how they do it, a blue Roddy may work well in the Shadow FP armor (assuming I can get that)
And a Junkion with a remold from Wreck-Gar would be great! They can get a lot of remolding/repainting from this guy to make many variants, and I'd be on them.
Buying this will depend very much on the final products and the impending wallet pain.

Just a guess, maybe to simulate the blue light coming out of the Matrix when he opened it to destroy Unicron?

Here's an idea... how about a couple of new factions? You can come back to Autobots and Decepticons whenever you want. How about a new cyber world? In other words - tell us about the Gobots, Hasbro!

That would be kinda cool, but the legal rights to everything except the Gobots name itself, and a few of the character names, are sketchy enough that the lawyers would never allow it. They couldn't even call Armada Unicron's minicon Gobotron fer cryin' out loud. And I don't know about anyone else, but if I see figures called Autobot Scooter or Agent Turbo or Decepticon Cop-Tur on the shelves, I may just so much my face bleeds.
I would love a GI Joe vs Transformers line, though. Make the Joes really small like Human Alliance sized, I don't care, I just can't believe Hasbro's never done it (one prototype aside).

Unicron's moon being named Dead End has nothing to do with trademarks. The designers didn't want Unicron being overshadowed by a Gobots name homage, that's it. Hasbro has access to all Gobot charcters via Tonka, but not the molds. Crasher (as Fracture), Spoons (as Deadlift) and Night Ranger (as the cancelled Backtrack) got homages, and Bug Bite was kept intact as a character, but as a Decepticon instead of a Renegade.
Anyhow, Two factions (good and evil) per line are plenty according to Hasbro, and adding more would only cause confusion. Case in Point: Beast Machines Buzzsaw was originally a Predacon, but chucked with the Maximals instead.

I'd also be interested in more unaffiliated characters, or at least those with very loose connections to the overall military commands from them at least. Devcon, Lockdown, etc as bounty hunters, maybe a small warband of guys led by Bludgeon, that sort of thing.
