Courtesy of CSDW's Taobao, we've got looks at two upcoming Dark Of The Moon repaints. Deluxe Roadbuster has taken on a red redeco, while Optimus Prime has more flair in this version. It's inclined that these will be Japanese exclusives much like Vortex and Air Raid, but that has yet to be confirmed. Check out the repaints below!

These look nice; I'm just going to pick up the deluxe Prime at Wal-Mart though. My only problem with it is the gray arms, they could at least be blue plastic instead.

It looks like something is missing with the arms looking like that. But the wheels and this pistola look pretty damn cool! :VEHI:

I'm so confused. I mean, 3 movies and countless Primes (and repaints) and Hasbro just REFUSES to give us a Nemesis Prime.

I'm calling excusives somewhere...can't say where exactly, but somewhere. That orange actually looks pretty good on RB. Prime is a definite meh.

When I saw the warm colors on RB I immediately thought it was going to be a 24 / Gordon repaint like RB is in some of that concept art that was front paged.

Ah well.

Orange Roadbuster in alt mode looks cool but same flaws as Green Roadbuster in robot mode too much Gray!!.

Optimus Prime looks GASH as above Alt mode looks good but far too much gray in robot mode and that mounted gun looks NAFF but the gun it self is OK.

I class NightWatch Opimus Prime as my Nemesis Prime.

Wish I could fool myself into thinking that as well, but I'm just too big of a Nemesis Prime/Scourge/Black Convoy fan to let Night Watch Prime sneak into their display.

Ooof...

Those are rather ugly.

I like the tampos on Roadbuster, they gave him a bit more apps too, but I much prefer the original.

Prime? Uh...ugh.

Roadbuster looks alright, but I'd probably rather stick with the actual colours (and versions of the figure where all of them weaponized). As for Optimus, I actually like him. The figure itself doesn't look exceptional, though his vehicle mode looks quite nice. Not only that, but he has a Voyager figure's MechTech weapon and it's painted to boot. I'd probably get this guy, though I think it may be a Takara exclusive, like the newspost suggests.

Hasbro need to stop giving us countless repaints and start giving us images of Soundwave, Mirage, Wheeljack and Leadfoot!

That said, I like the Roadbuster redeco. Kind of G1 colours, if you think about it (then again, the green was G1 too).

So the deluxe Prime repaint is going to come with Voyager Prime's gun?

The orange Roadbuster looks sexy. I dont care about the Prime repaint but his MechTech looks fantastic.

That's what I mean. Take one of the best MechTech weapons we have and paint it! I think the red and blue on it look great.

If this RB is a US release, I want it!

So they gave the Walmart Deluxe Optimus Voyager Prime's gun?
It looks a little bit out of scale but I will probably get it anyway if for no better reason than to fill out my Prime collection.

They'll come. HasTak is just trolling on ROTF Elita-1 proportions.

Cool! I was hoping they would do a redeco of RB, since the initial offering looks so darn bland. Will definitely pick up. As for Prime, I'm perfectly happy with the Y'All-Mart exclusive deluxe that I have.
