>he cheap retool Beast Hunter toys meant that some of the other characters who hadn't got toys up to that point weren't as affected. Like Smokescreen and Shockwave who got pretty decent toys.
then there was that bizarre Takara only Smokescreen they rushed out in the last few months of Prime...which was strange because if you know Toy Production cycles, the BH toy was almost certainly /done/ when it was released
I get the initial plans were likely before they committed to a new mold, but still, very bizarre to go through releasing it.
