I just get a kick out of Wreck-Gar's 'Wait what was I doing now?' expression in the colored version.

Wreck-Gar is full of WIN.

I wonder why they changed Wreck-Gar's expression when they colored him in. Anyway, the pic of Roadbuster Magnus isn't bad at all, unfortunately, something gets lost when it comes to the actual toy and he looks kinda weird.

On the DeviantArt page, it was stated that Hasbro didn't want him to look so agressive - after all, this is Wreck-Gar. So it was changed to that... which I think could be taken as either confusion (wait, why am I swinging giant energon blades at the guy with the purple face-logo?) or emulation of Bruce Lee (Oooooooowaaaaahh!).

Seeing the color scheme for shadow blade Megs is making me reconsider how I was gonna repaint my classics Megatron. I dunno why but that kind of purple on black just looks totally awesome for Megatron!

Love Wreck-Gar :grin:

I'm so going to buy him !!!! I'm still not sold on the Megatron and Ultra Magnus repaint. The paintings look good ... I just don't like the repainted toy :-?

I picture him in mid-song. He's reached "or just sit around the house and watch Leave It To Beaver" in this shot.

These look great!

...

...Well, except I see they kept that blue head on Roadbuster Magnus.
Very awkward.

Like, imagine if you got a Nemesis Prime figure but like one arm was still red.
I wouldn't be surprised to find some drastic accident took place halfway through production and they needed heads fast.
