Alpha Trion as a repaint/retool of Scourge works a lot better than being a repaint/retool of Vector Prime!Originally Posted by KELPIE
As Tha_Phantom said, the Kup as Orion Pax thing started with the eHobby repaint of reissue Targetmaster Kup (with Wheelie repainted as Dion).
I think both work well enough.

I think they look nice enough, but would it kill Hasbro/ Takara to come up with unique designs??? I'd be all in for the asking price if there was a little more creativity expressed here.

What do you mean by unique designs? Do you not find the retooling here enough to make them accurate to their cartoon appearance? Or is that the issue - they're too toon-accurate and you want a fresh deviation from the cartoon?
If the latter, there are some previous options of both characters that offer some originality. In particular, I'm a fan of the Titans Return Alpha Trion as it homages two previous toy alt modes he has had (albeit one wasn't actually released).
Whilst I'm not a fan of it, there is the Generations Orion Pax that isn't a retool of anything, nor is it particularly toon accurate, but it's an option.
Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

No, I don't find retooling enough; not for the cost. Just my two cents, is all.

They did come up with a unique design for Thrilling 30 Orion Pax, which came out at a time when the Aussie Dollar was trading a above parity against the U.S. Dollar; so while that toy was never released here, it was easy and quite cheap to import. I paid $22 for mine and that was with shipping from the USA.
We all vote with our wallets, so if you want Hasbro to give us more original moulds for lesser known characters, then the best thing to do is to throw your money at Hasbro for these toys when they make them.
