That's nothing compared to the current record holder: Classics Starscream. Who are you kidding?

admittedly there are a few different Starscreams, but most of the repaints have been other characters who are supposed to share his body design. Megatron, Star Saber, Optimus Prime and how ever many other characters have all traditionally had unique body types and alt modes.

So yeah, expect quite a few more repaints.

Seeing how Super GT Racing is popular in the Asian region, I would expect that if Hasbro wanted to... They do that with NASCAR.
But it would only make sense if they added a Kyle Busch figure with Starscream in the end.

Besides that, the lack of Autobot and Decepticon symbols have me wonder if this incarnation has them teaming up defending Earth while racing against each other.

But I am thinking we will see the next three being Maximus, Galvatron, and Ginrai as the three have multiple characters that share said "title."

Cannot. I preordered two more pieces, and need to save my money just in case the rumored Transformers Asia reissues of G1 Star Saber and G1 Dai Atlas are both true and look like the originals.
Besides, I am reinforcing my no policy when it comes to any Convoy/Prime and Megatron/Galvatron. It's something I should have been following this entire time.

It has Automorph spots: in the chest and the main body.

Hmm. Didn't realize the 'Con's switched their faction symbol to pink...
Also, I find the lack of even ONE Decepticon insignia disappointing. How else are you supposed to tell he's evil apart from his glaringly obvious menacing face?
It's a good thing I feel nothing for this or anything else in the GT line...
