Inaccuracy is a single word, btw. I hate having to be a grammar-sharkticon here, but it makes no sense otherwise.

I fixed it you nitpick

I WANT cyberfire Bumblebee. The DOTM Bumblebee I have now looks like a foot. It hurts my face, I really hates it. But Cyberfire Bumblebee looks like a horrible murderer and I want it!

Current repaints I love are actually Cybertron Repugnus who's a repaint of Undermine. The green was kinda lacking with me, but I loved the orange and black scheme very much.

There are a few things repaints can make much better. Like turning a snot like Drift into a snot like Blur!

I felt the same about Cyberfire Bee. I passed on the original version cause I knew we'd get a repaint, but I'm happy it's an awesome repaint. I wish I had picked up more of them, I really want to do repaints with green Cyberfire and Allspark Blue Cyberfire.

I also couldn't get into the 2007 Voyager Prime mold, until he came out as ROTF Defender Prime. I don't know what it is, I love the color scheme(and the toy's fun too )

Good topic.

For me, Classics Mirage just never looked very Mirage-like, but Dragstrip and Fracture/Crasher kick ass.

Speaking of G1 characters, when it comes to Smokescreen, Prowl and Bluestreak, I always liked them in that order (meaning Smokescreen was my favorite) but when they did the Universe versions Smokescreen was now my least favorite and Silver(Blue)streak was now the one I liked most.

I wouldn't say I hated Tracks, but the redeco into Wheeljack was like a thousand times better, I thought.

ROTF Dead End. Thought he was very bland but then we got Nightbeat. Head is still terrible but the car is the coolest repaint ever.

Classics Starscream. Thought he was utter tripe and an insult to the Robotmasters Seeker mold. Paint was poorly applied and the colours were terribly bland and unfitting of a notably vain character. Acid Storm turned me around. I can't resist new Seekers. I've since got the 2nd Starscraem and Thundercracker and I love the mold now.

Universe Ultra Magnus > Armada Prime

Universe Devesatator > RID Landfill? Seconded.

Robotmasters Mirage > Machine Wars Mirage. Great mold. Colours make it cartoon accurate and the silver rifle harkens back to the glory days of G1.

Henkei Megatron > Classics Megatron

Universe Frostbite > BW Cackle

RID Blue camo Armourhide > G1 Brawl

Ironworks > Powertrain

Didn't actually hate most of these but I did feel the repaints were amazing improvements.

The Bruticus/ruination in desert and arctic camo are worth a fair mention here.

Hmm..let's see..

RTS Gold Bumblebee(Goldbug) I got because of the deco. I have Classics Bee, but no Goldbug, and it suffices nicely. It's not a bad mold, but not too enticing when I have the character ya know.

Remember ROTF Springer? The Legend that never appeared in the movie? It's not that great, but the K-Mart 4 pack Blades is awesome. I really like the idea of him as a field medic.

Spinister from the same pack? Awesome cause it's a new character(and I didn't have the mold). Ditto for Thundercracker, who has a really nice paint aps. Jetfire is...meh. All in all, glad I got it on clearance.

Continuing with the Legends vibe, Target exclusives! First Shadow Striker(Legends Wheelie repaint). It's a female Transformer, so that makes it cool, and the deco isn't bad either. I would have bought it even if I had Legends Wheelie(which I never found....)

Okay, there was a ROTF Five pack that had Runnamuck(Legends Movie Jazz repaint) and Sparkcrusher(Legends Warpath repaint) that are really cool too. Sparkcrusher is a nice homage to a forgotten Actionmaster. Runnamuck is cool because even though it's homaging a Stuniticon, the weird forks/heelspurs on the front of the car actually work for the character, as does the robot chest sticking out the top of the car.

Ah heck, more Legends! I missed out on Legends Beachcomber, but the Sandstorm repaint is really good. It doesn't really look like the G1 character, but the scheme and paint aps are good enough to stand on it's own.

Finally, one of my fave Legends that I wish they'd do more like is ROTF Tankor. It works so well, and I would buy a repaint four pack of the remaining Vehicons. Plus, I didn't have the mold otherwise.

So moral of the story: if it's a smaller version of a character I have, not much interest. If it's a new character though(or homage), my interest is piqued!

One last note, the BBTS/Ollie's DOTM Mini-con Dinobots: Not great figures, but the G1 color schemes make them very appealing.

Rushie wrote:RotF N.E.S.T. Dirge isn't too bad and the G1-licious colour scheme makes him desirable. The HftD Jetblade is awesome however. Light grey for the jet body, ice blue lining, dark purple robot body and silver and bright red to make him pop.

I agree on Jetblade too, very nice grey and light blue colour sceme. Its one of the few transformers I actually have on display in alt mode (although his robot mode is ok, his face reminds me of squidward for some reason).
