erm... are you talking about Waspinator? Cos I was talking about Wasp, which afaik is just a straight repaint of Bumblebee.

I thought each toy had an individual budget (down to the last drop of paint). And even if they could only afford to retool one toy, again I would still opt for Wasp over Ironhide.

I prefer to see preferential treatment being given to characters of greater canonical significance. And one way of keeping costs down would be to retool the Activator Bumblebee mould instead of the Deluxe. It worked with Animated Cliffjumper. I would personally much prefer a retooled Activator over a non-retooled Deluxe. If I saw Deluxe Wasp in the store as a straigt repaint, I'd be undecided about buying it. But if I saw an Activator Wasp w/ retooled head, then I'd buy it before you could say antideestablishmentarianism.
