I personally don't like it when characters appear in any TF story that aren't available as toys... no matter how awesome that character is... in fact, it's more frustrating when it's a cool character because it makes you WANT that character as a toy more!!

I much prefer stories where I can reenact them with available toys. Impactor, Rack 'N' Ruin, Xaaron, Alpha Trion, G1 Arcee, Botanica, Animated Constructicons & Omega Supreme, Reedman, Alice, et al. -- all fairly prominent characters in TF lore for whom we DON'T have toys for! ... it's freakin' frustrating!!

How awesome did it feel to _finally_ get a Straxus toy when Hasbro released Generations Darkmount? I'm still over the moon about it! I hope HasTak continue to use CHUGUR to release more previously unreleased major characters from Transformers as toys (give us a G1 Arcee already!). So yeah, I'm all for having stories being based on toys - and besides...
