Now all Hasbro has to do, if they've ACTUALLY "listened to the fans", is re-release all of the other figures they ruined the same way without the awful paint. Siege Springer would be a good place to (re) start.
You're as bad as the "WAAA the plastic is KO grade" people.
As someone who actually
owns several of those figures - as opposed to acting like the battle damage eclipsed the plastic colors and avoiding them - and has had them in hand, even having Springer on display, I can confidently say the battle-damage paint, while dorky, is
easily-tuned-out light speckling.
Kingdom Galvatron's is even less than that, being just a few scuff marks, and actually has a bit of thought to it instead of being mere airbrush spatter. I only passed on him because I already had the TR version and I dislike the compromises on that one less (especially since it's still a triple-changer).

They release multipacks because multipacks are outside the normal slots and thus can get figures out without tying up a normal slot, and in the case of what we've seen in Buzzworthy it gives them an opportunity for things that might not have gotten a shot otherwise. They're also popular with parents since they're almost always less than the figures would cost individually and are good for giving a kid a lot of figures in one shot. Yes, it's a bit annoying when you only want one thing in a value pack, but that's been a fact of toy collecting FOR DECADES.
