All this means is that the figure is way more expensive and way less available. It's a terrible deal and the only thing it'll 'encourage' Hasbro to do in future if it succeeds is to get away with even more rubbish.

Sky Lynx was a reoccurring character in the G1 cartoon. Despite his odd design, I feel he falls under the "Safe" category for the higher ups.
Doubledealer was an oddity, having not appeared in the US cartoon. Really, all he ever had was his original toy and a scant few appearances in the UK comic. So I'll give you that one.

I guess I'm just optimistic. I'm looking through the lens of "Maybe this will open the flood gates!" rather than "Ugh, Hasbro just trying to get more money than they're worth."
It could legitimately be the latter, but I guess I'm just remaining hopeful
