Well, here's a repost of a couple of posts I had talking about the stickers over in the Giant Type 61 thread:

First, the individual bot modes:
I have to say, I've changed my mind twice now on one thing about these toys, that being the white and red stripes on them. When I first saw them, I was like, "What is Maketoys thinking? The Constructicons have always had black and yellow stripes!" Then, I got used to the red and white, and I thought, "Huh... not what I would have done, but it really does kind of work." But these stickers gave the Constructicons back the proper colouration in the stripes, and it does look so much better! (Or at least, so much more like fond childhood memories of the original toys.)
Now the vehicle modes:
For those who prefer a purple mixing barrel for Mixmaster, Reprolabels did provide stickers for that option. I've always been more of a green-barrel guy myself, though. There's actually three barrel options, I suppose. Completely purple, purple with the black and yellow stripes in the middle, or green with the stripes in the middle.
Reprolabels did also provide two different options of stickers for all of the windows each vehicle has. One option is a deeper colour of purple that better matches the other purple on this Devestator. The other option is a greyish/silverish colour to probably better resemble glass. Personally, I was fine with the windows the colour they were, and thus didn't bother with the window stickers.
This set features some tiny stickers, the most tiny and most annoying to apply of which would be the chrome stickers on Scrapper's ladders. Have fun putting them on! (Do take your time.)
The chrome detailing on the various shovels and blades on some of the vehicles all had two options: plain chrome, or "dirty" stickers. I went with the dirty option. Thought it looked a bit more fun.
Now onto Devastator!
Not trying to pick a fight with Hercules fans here, but Maketoys Giant was always to me a much more "G1" looking Devastator, even when Hercules has his add-on set. This sticker set really drives that home and gives him all of the little details to complete the homage this toy was providing.
The only real complaint I would have is that it would have been nice if Reprolabels had provided stickers for Devastator's forehead. I really do like the head I am using here better overall, but I do miss the silver that the other head provided has, and had been hoping Reprolabels might provide a way to have that on this head as well. But other then that, an excellent group of stickers to give your Maketoys Giant the finishing touches to make him a truly excellent Classics Devastator, and provides options in many of the stickers to give each person a choice in what details their Constructicons have. I'd definitely recommend these stickers to anyone who owns these toys.
(Wow, writing all of the above reminds me that I really need to start writing reviews for my website again. I really haven't meant to abandon it since the fall, it has just sort of happened that way. Some day... hopefully soon... I'll get back to it!)

I will agree that it would be nice for Yellow owners if there were versions specifically for the Yellow ones. But, if worse comes to worst and Yellow ones are never produced, I would say that the majority of the stickers in this set should still work with the yellow set.
Only Scavanger and Bonecrusher have stickers on them that have green on them and that don't have optional choices less dependent on colour matching. On Scavanger, the stickers with coloured tubing on the excavator arm and on the side of the vehicle, and on Bonecrusher the three stickers that wrap around the sides of the vehicle and cover the exposed bit of the connecting mechanism on the top of his vehicle.
Any other stickers you see that have green on them have other options you can use which would of course be better for using with the Yellow set. (Also, there are other green stickers I didn't use, the main example being that all of the faction symbols had green background options, but for the most part I preferred the more G1-looking silver background.)
So yeah, these stickers are designed more with the green set in mind. In a fair world, there would also be a yellow set available. (Also, if I was designing it, it wouldn't be just a colour-swaped version of the green set. Yellow Giant has a very different paint scheme as it is. First thing I would do would be stickers to mask all of the "MTC Co." logos.) But in a worst case scenario where that never happens, I should think that many of these stickers would be able to cross over well onto the Yellow version.
So that was a look on the stickers on the green version. I would be curious to see how they look on the yellow version.
