    Ya know... imagine if, for the next 12 years, they repainted Ultimate Optimus Prime with a new Lunar New Year animal theme on it (e.g. 2013 - Snake) etc. I reckon it'd work as an Asian market exclusive thing. Although the mould would get severely degraded (it'd be a mess by time they get up to Rabbit! ). Unless they pick a different mould each year - kinda like a lot of BotCon exclusives. So for instance, Ultimate OP is a 2011 mould which they'll use to herald in the 2012 Lunar Year. Pick a mould from next year's line for 2013 and so on and so on.

    I reckon it'd work...

    What would be even better is if they re-used moulds whose alt modes match that year's animal.
    e.g.
    2012 Dragon -- market exclusive repaint of Transmetal 2 Megatron
    2013 Snake -- market exclusive repaint of Cohrada
    2014 Horse -- market exclusive repaint of Mach Kick
    2015 Goat -- market exclusive repaint of Ramulus
    2016 Monkey -- market exclusive repaint of Ultra Optimus Primal
    2017 Chicken -- market exclusive repaint of Rav
    2018 Dog -- market exclusive repaint of K-9
    2019 Boar -- market exclusive repaint of Razorbeast
    2020 Rat -- market exclusive repaint of Transmetal Rattrap (apparently HasTak have lost the original Rattrap mould)
    2021 Cow -- market exclusive repaint of BW Bonecrusher
    2022 Tiger -- market exclusive repaint of Tigatron
    2023 Rabbit -- market exclusive repaint of Stampy

    Man... 12 years to collect a whole set... eeevil! Especially for say new collectors, like someone who decides to become a TF collector in 2021 would have to go and pay craploads on stupid inflated aftermarket prices trying to collect all those other figures he's missed! Har!!

    I think a pink Ultimate Optimus would be just FABULOUS!
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    Yeah, that's what we need... another Pinkimus Prime I saw one today actually on sale at the Parra Fair... sitting there in all his pastel glory.

    I honestly find the trailer really attractive to me...and if I can find it at reasonable price I will buy it.
