So is the Amazon Exclusive Dead Prime and the POTP Nemesis Prime before that but no one cried foul.
I don't think it's about remolds or redecos, it's about how how well known a character is, I think that's the only way exclusives could be fair.
G2 Sandstorm makes sense as an exclusive, the coneheads do not since they were on the show and quite prominently.
Nemesis Prime as an exclusive also makes sense, Optimus Prime as an exclusive would be dumb.
Bugbite makes sense as an exclusive, Bumblebee does not.
And on and on. I think what they are doing with Transmutate and many selects releases (like Nightshade) is the right way to go though. They are not exclusive, and fans can easily get them. But they don't clog up the shelves and don't give the standard retailers too much product to manage. They are also scalper proof, which is nice. Runabout should have been a selects release, like Transmutate was.
