I'm interested in getting the repaints of the characters from the live action movies in G1 colors if they were released. I just don't know which characters got such a treatment. So far I do know Jazz, Ratchet, and Ironhide did. Are there any more? Thanks for the help.

The only one I ever owned was the repaint of movie 1 Jazz you mentioned. In the end, I decided it didn't really work for me. Movie characters are just so different from the G1 characters, in both personality and aesthetic, that seeing the movie ones trying to look more like the G1 ones caused a bit of a cognitive disconnect in me.

But obviously there are many who are keen on such things, since they keep doing them! Enjoy hunting them down yourself!

You could argue Evasion Mode Optimus Prime from AOE is a movie repaint.

Shockwave was pretty G1 as is.

Platinum 07 Megatron? Sorta, he is grey like the G1.

The Fallen had a Target Exclusive "burning" version that's akin to his comics counterpart:



Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Ramjet all had Voyager repaints:



And Deluxe for Thundercracker and Skywarp(I don't think deluxe Starscream ever had a G1 repaint):



But hey GDO Leader class version:



ROTF Deluxe Thrust:



As well as ROTF Dirge(sorta):



Legends Constructicons(no bigger version exists in G1 colors, barring Long Haul):



Gathering At The Nemesis Soundwave:



Cliffjumper, who surprisingly only had this one deluxe release:



Beachcomber(who could "almost" be a Classics), and his counterpart who is an homage to the Gobot Spoons:



AOE Hot Shot is arguably Tracks:



I probably missed a few. Oh, and Bumblebee? Just look through this hive and you'll probably find one close enough to G1 : http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#Deluxe_Class_toys

I already picked up a set at Comic Con last year

Are they releasing a mass market version? I know there was the comic con version.

[fenrir72]

The G1 colors is a mass market release (barring the scalpers and sh#tty distribution)

[LegendaryAntiHero]

A Goldbug repaint of G1 Bumblebee in shiny paint would be fantastic

[triKlops]

You could also go in the other direction with the G1 reissue repaints from Million Publishing of Ratchet and Ironhide in their Movie colors as well.

There was a voyager Optimus Prime from the first movie line redecoed in G1 colors.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Here is the complete list for all on-screen characters:

Optimus Prime: 2007 First Strike or Evasion Mode
Ratchet: any Rescue Ratchet
Ironhide: DotM Cannon Force or GDO Leader
Jazz: 2007 Target Exclusive
Bumblebee: just pick one
Sideswipe: just pick up Swerve
Wheeljack: Movie Advanced Exclusive
Dinobots: Platinum Editions, G1 Editions (Grimlock & Slug only)

Megatron: Premium Series or Gathering at the Nemesis.
Starscream: 2007 Target Exclusive
Brawl: regular version will do
Soundwave: Gathering at the Nemesis
Devastator: green Legends, TRU Exclusive

You know what would look awesome? G1/Classics Jazz in movie colors.

So they're basically Transformers Prime style Dinobots

I think it would have been cool if they retooled the heads of GDO Starcream and Allspark Power Cliffjumper.

But oh well, I can still learn a thing or two on customization. I gave my movieverse figures new paint schemes based on G1 and G2.

Here's a few not mentioned yet, I think. Some are a stretch, just for fun.

The Arcee mold from the first movie, while not at all screen accurate, got a G1 deco inspired release in Japan.

Transformers (2007) Arcee (G1) Gallery
Not the most compelling example since Arcee, Chromia, and Elita-One are already G1 inspired in their on screen decos, but still maybe worth pointing out in the context of this thread. Could fake it with the bike mode?

Fast Action Battler Fire Blast Optimus Prime got a bit of a Fire Guts Ginrai thing going on.

Mixmaster got his own solo album.

Track Battle Roadbuster at least got the orange part right.

Finally, there's a G1 homage for the Protoform Optimus Prime mold, which is kind of a fun toy in a weird way (image from BWTF.com)

Fast Action Battler Fire Blast Optimus Prime got a bit of a Fire Guts Ginrai thing going on.

I think Fire Black Optimus Prime is more likely a reference to this fella - Energon Rodimus


Or not.

I'll admit, when I saw that OP pic, I first thought of Energon Rodimus, but I'm not really all that up on the Japanese stuff like Fire Ginrai.

I really love the voyager 2077 Movie Starscream mold. It make for great custom fodder! (Click the links in my sig!) I also really love that new "goblin" head for 2007 voyager Movie starscream:
