In true traditional frustrating toy release fashion, they could do multipacks.
Airachnid with one or two Death Trackers.
Sentinel Prime with two Gold Trackers (or one Gold, one Silver).
Airachnid, Sentinel Prime, Gold Tracker.
Silver Trackers 2-Pack.
These are all designs I generally like, so I'd be interested in all but the last for variety. Although I'd appreciate a change to the Trackers so they have a better altmode. Wouldn't be hard to improve on.
Those Youtube shorts suck.
Just think of what they could have done using some toys from Studio series Bumblebee and Generations War for Cybertron for a more serious serial story:
- Mirage always being cogged and different having difficulty fitting in, being harassed and bullied by the former miners because of it.
- Megatron being an outsider to the high guard tries his hand at writing to gain their favour.
- The high guard themselves being misfits in the Age of Primes forged by Megatronus Prime (who was an outsider) into a fighting force, this backstory could add layers to them giving Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave a history.
- Badassitron has sessions with Rung who helps him break his insanity from isolation and he becomes a scout.
- Darkwing and Airachnid being rogue agents leading Sentinel's followers turned cult against Optimus' regime and their eventual absorption into the Decepticons.
- The Autobots and Deceptiucons rebuilding Cybertron, forming trade networks with other communities and the Decepticons building Kaon.
- Optimus finds being a politician grinding and tries his hand at dock working, being a cop, archivist just top be grounded in their concerns believing it'll make him a more effective leader and also show budding friendships with Ironhide and Ratchet.
The list is endless.

Decepticon poetry night. Soundwave is in rapturous awe, Starscream is confused and annoyed but too afraid of Megatron to say anything, Shockwave just turns and walks away without comment.
Are you sure about the main line? Any kids who wanted to build their collection around the Prime Changers (which did punch above their weight, for sure) still cannot complete the tiny main cast. They have to fill in the gaps with the various gimmicky bricks that clearly don't match (which will drive some kids nuts; some of us were just born like that) or wait a few months for Studio Series, in which case the main line failed the assignment.
The worst part is that they only really needed Elita and Airachnid to cover the main important characters (yeah, plenty of other big names are around, but most of them are either relatively minor characters in the movie, or straight-up cameos that kids are less likely to care about), and they didn't manage that. Because, girls, I guess.
And then they could've rolled out more impressive toys later in Studio Series, and plenty of collectors would double dip anyway. So they left more money on the table.
