Sure they love their repaints, but half the molds are one offs - Megs, Grimlock and Rodimus. They're not likely to get repainted into anything else. And unless the next mold is Ironhide/Rathchet who could be retooled into each other respectively, Hasbro are going to have to face the fact that one-off molds are the only option in the lines future.
You see Grimlock as sufficiently iconic, yet Soundwave isn't? I'd have thought a cassette player would be moreso that Grimlock, and Galvatron too for that matter. Iconic in every way!
As for TM2 Megs, you're right, a few improvements would be nice, but they could do that with an ultra sized mold. As for the accessories you mention, most of them are synonimious within T-Rex and TM Megatron. The only accessories TM2 Megs had was a judges wig and the Covenant of Primus.
We can dream, but I'd say the MP line will remain a G1 Only Zone. This is why we start petitioning Hasbro now about 2013's Generations toys! Get some requests in early!
