I'm sure it was a budget thing, just ran out of paint apps. Honestly, I'd have preferred the missiles on the sides of the trailer, but that would probably stick out too far for some track sets.

Of all the possible missing paint applications, this one is probably the easiest to do by hand after the fact.

It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of taking up painting as a hobby just so i can touch up the lacking paint apps in modern toys.

Mattel is clearly leaning more toy than toon.

Don't they know that the proper toon / toy ratio for new versions of Transformers is a slightly different, constantly-shifting and unguessable number that happens to conform to my exact tastes and faltering memories?

The only real issue I have is that these are the "Track Fleet" series, which is not as widely available as the "Super Rigs" that are carried at almost every Walmart and Target around. Otherwise, they're kind of cool little bits of merch!

I did find Optimus at my local Target, which is a mid-sized one that doesn't get a lot of the stuff that the larger ones do.

i guess there are a couple of different lines of Hot Wheels semis:

Mega Rigs can hold cars, but are too wide for tracks.

Track Fleet can fit on tracks, but not hold cars.

Magnus and Prime came out in the Track Fleet line, so no dice.

They can always reveal the Mega Rigs version after you buy this one.
