Decepticon/Autobot Ratio

[griffin]

If you took a poll of regular consumers to pick just one Transformers toy/character out of a set (or year) even if there were more Decepticons to choose from, most will select the main heroes, or the more well known characters (who are mostly the heroes)... even among collectors (there are more Autobot fans than Decepticon Fans*, so toy purchasing will follow the same lopsided ratio).

(*Our annual Ozformers votes, and even Hasbro's Transformers site have polls to see which is the more popular faction - so Hasbro knows not to produce too many Decepticon toys if all the evidence proves that too many of them won't sell)
