I know they aren't forcing anyone, but when there is a tight schedule with these images, or just from curiosity, or even people wanting to see the images while they are a topic of conversation, they are being told to go to one fansite instead of FunPub's own website or twitter. I just hope that they have taken a hit on their subscriptions this year because of this selective outlet decision... but I think they'd be too stubborn to do anything different.
For members of Seibertron, it's probably a great coup, but for those who aren't members, or have had past issues with that site, it is as if Hasbro had struck up an official exclusive deal with one fansite instead of using their own site for their news and press-releases.

I guess if they have a special display format for a toy that they can't replicate from colour photoshopping, I wonder why they don't think about doing up a hand-painted custom for things like this special vehicle mode.
After seeing two of their hand-painted figures at this year's botcon of two of their boxset toys, it's certainly possible.
