A sort of amalgamation of all the most popular incarnations of every character they could think of. Those designed inspired both the then new Cyberverse cartoon and the upcoming War for Cybertron trilogy of toy line. This has resulted in some banger G1 style toys (the Earthrise Starscream mold is amazing...) but it has also resulted in a somewhat frustratingly repetitive line up until the recent War for Cybertron Kingdom toy line... It's not as bad as a decade ago where you had a gajillion Bumblebee on pegs (Four DIFFERENT Bumblebee toys at the same price point on pegs at the same time due to overstock! It was madness!) but you can still expect an Optimus, a Megatron, a Starscream every year and a bunch of Netflix branded repaints of same sold at Walmart... Like, the same character but with some different deco, not even new characters (though there is some of that). I have mixed feeling on the whole 'Evergreen' thing... thankfully Kingdom includes tons of Beast Wars characters to spice it up... And we've sorta seen that with the Stranger Things and Rick & Morty sets.</blockquote>
