A little. I think it was the choice of the repaints more than the repainted figures themselves. Especially Rollbar and Ricochet. If Rollbar had been olive green and Ricochet an RX-8 things would've been different. But it seemed like Hasbro wasn't even trying by then. Plus we never saw Blaster and Red Alert stateside... Oddly enough, I still hold out hope that Rumble will be repainted someday. But yeah, three repaints per mold and still having a 20 buck price tag didn't help the line at all.
Alternity was something I was interested in for about ten minutes. Then I saw the scale and the robot modes and realized it was just another Movie-style spin off with Gen 1 Heads. Plus there's already three different Prime and Megatron figures. I can stick with my Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper for now. Same with the Japanese Classics Megatron, he makes a great stand in for going toe to toe with Alt Prime.
The beauty of 25th to ME to RoC is that despite the character choices and their changes in appearance, the figures all maintain a similar articulation scheme. It's so much easier to blend RoC into the other two lines for those willing to make that leap. Not true for TFs where every line has it's own look and pieces don't interchange well. Say, my Classics Cyclonus [one of the best figures ever] being drawfed by my Alts. We should consider ourselves lucky that RoC didn't see the relaunch of simpler articulation or mix-matched figures like the old Joe vs Cobra where vintage stuff was set-up along side the newer figures like the one shown on the previous pages with the overly broad shoulders and bad hip design.
