New Transformers Movie toyline - Studio Series

I read somewhere recently that the budget assigned to the design team for figures is done so on a $X for the entire wave of that class basis. So, for example, instead of there being an individual budget for Blackout and then another one for Grimlock they draw from the same pool.

If this is correct, im really enjoying how Hasbro are using it to give us significantly differently sized figures in a single size class to try and maintain scale with the SS line.

^This makes so much sense. It is a bit sad it has taken so long to happen but perhaps this stop-gap line will take off like the original Classics line did, or at least, this budget allocationing will continue.

I'd like to see it continue going forward as well. HasTak would need to move away from a line wide gimmick that mandates every figure in each size class be more or less the same stature so they can all be limbs for gestalts/accept headmasters, which is also something I'd like to see.
