Although I was big fan of the cartoon as a kid, I was never much of a Transformers collector, mostly because of the price of the toys. Even though those RED figures (Megatron & Optimus Prime) look like their cartoon images, I just think the idea of a "non-transforming" Transformer is just nonsensical.
Anyway, concerning the "Retro" line, I walked down a toy aisle in my local Walmart and those peg warming "Retro" Star Wars figures just stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I am pretty much convinced that the "Retro" G.I. Joe line will be "repro" O-ring figures on those worn looking "Retro" cards. I just don't see how they can have two "Retro" type figures from different toy lines and the both not be replicas of the vintage figures.
At least even the vintage O-ring figures had way more articulation than Star Wars figures. If they are O-ring figures, it'll be interesting how they handle pack-in/vehicle figures such as Clutch, Steeler, Hawk, and Grand Slam, because you know collectors will scream for the O13.
