It appears that the movie versions of Red Alert and Starscream will be getting more CLASSIC style repaints.

The Starscream repaint is apparently in his G1 colors and the other is for Red Alert in a grey/white and red color scheme.

Let the speculations begin about who these might be, and if they are real repaints or not.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more details when they become available.

EDIT: The links have been removed due to auctions of an inappropriate nature being linked in the seller's auction.

Thanks to Overcracker, the images are here in this thread mirrored.

Woohoo! Man, I sure hope it's real that way I can have another set of Seekers. As long as it has the Thundercracker head it's good to go. Ratchet/Red Alert is pretty cool too.

Wow. I really really like starscream. It seems that his head had been painted black with red eyes as it should be.

I hope thes ar going to be mass produced cos I love them.

screamer looks fantastic, rachet is a big improvement, but why are there naked figures linked on a TOY AUCTION?

News Credits: 32 · by **UltraPrimal** » Wed May 02, 2007 10:54 am

I think I will buy those over their movie-accurate versions.

I don't know about any of you and what you think of these repaints, but i can tell you either that came from the factory and is a test of the G-1 colors or that person who repainted them is completely the best forger paint artist i have ever seen, the bots are cast in white or off white plastic and the colors and markings are professional machine prints.. This could be a special release from HASBRO and may be a mass produced item to coincide with the G-1 fans and their support of the movie, time will tell.. The message seems appropriate as to not get anyone's hopes up if they decided not to.. But man those images look really really professional and not fan made, atleast not any i have ever seen before..

Is someone gonna mirror those images so they can be rereferenced if the auction gets completed too soon? I noticed it on the locked thread.. they should be put here too, just in case..

No matter how they dress it up its still CRAP!

The new color scheme is quite superior to the old one.

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Wed May 02, 2007 11:22 am

These Look pretty good. I'm even tempted to buy Starscream.

The recolors look factory done. I truly hope they release these along side the movie colored ones. Kind of like a Collectors Edition type deal.

I mirrored the images, for your viewing pleasure:
Starscream

I wonder if these could turn out to be an exclusive 2-pack?

News Credits: 11 · by **Overcracker** » Wed May 02, 2007 11:45 am

It would certainly be an interesting 2 pack.

Hopefully with better distribution, than the Cybertron: Vector Prime, Starscream, 2 pack.

Wish the guy showed robot modes of both. Still would buy them.

It's a good job Starscream isn't coloured like this in the movie, he'd look daft.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Wed May 02, 2007 12:51 pm

That's a really nice Ratchet. I wish they would release this version too...

The SS looks decent too. Shame we know what the bot mode looks like isn't it?

Good looking alts as usual, but the robot modes are still ugly as hell.

Auctions have been removed from all the sites due to inappropriate content linked to this auction.

Sorry D.

i wonder if this has anything to do with the futbaba board... probably just a coincidence.

I'll keep a look out for these figures popping back up!

Seeing as how I have no idea what the f-----a thing is...I can't help you out.

Somebody mentioned he sold like 10 of them...you'd think it might pop up again. :-?

I don't mind the repaints. The Starscream looks kinda cartoony now which should make the hardcore G1 group happier (eh - what am I thinking? Monkeyscream will NEVER make the G1 group happy, no matter what color he is). I'll save MY final opinion until I see a view of the head sculpt.

If I had to have a nitpicky issue... I wish the "AMBULANCE" on Ratchet's hood was "mirrored" as it is on most ambulances -at least the ones I see around here.
