Thanks Tekno.
I knew nothing about WOTC in modern times.

I wonder. Before Bayformers, Transformers seemed to be going strong. Armada was a surprising hit (still surprises me today!) and this carried fwd to the rest of the Unicron Trilogy.
Then late 2006 they came out with the Classics line.
While Bayformers certainly gave Transformers a boost, I think Hasbro was still fine before it.

Yah, I find that weird.
I thought niche toys like Origins Bumblebee, Jazz, and Blue Bluestreak worked fine as store exclusives.
I always assumed that was a winning formula.
So I'm surprised Defcon is a mainline toy.
Then again, the mainline also includes 'new' characters too, and he's new to the non-G1ers.
Ah, who knows.
