next year's "free" figure is Universe Ramjet from the Gen Armada Starscream mould, with Skywarp being the exclusive to purchase figure. SO no G1 next year either

I get what you mean about the colours being washed out, the red is almost orange, and combined with the grey not being quite a dark grey, it makes me thing they only put half a coat of paint on, and the head's blue is quite pale compared to any Optimus figure I have...
