I think I'd like this, and other Constructicon paint schemes, if they toned down the brightness a bit. drab green and maroon? I'd take that.

can any one say scavenger or possible devastator

It's looks very cartoony on him... mostly because of the purple wheels. (Had it been green, with purple highlights and black wheels it'd been cool)

But it's still one well sculpted figure.

I kinda like it! With the possible exception of 08 Bumblebee, the only figures in the movie line that interest me at all are the repaints.

I actualy like it. But, a Deluxe Brawl remould as G1 Brawl with G1 head would be the BALLS!

I can't see this figure being worth buying again.

The arm kibble kills him for me.

I've never liked the Constructicon green and purple: just doesn't look intimidating and serious. I like Transformers because they are robots with alt modes that seem real. Green construction vehicles? Just don't work for me.

I don't see why there is a need to repaint in G1 colours. This Bonecrusher is a military Buffalo MCPV, not a bulldozer. Colouring his new mode with his old G1 colours is different from repainting Jazz or Ratchet because both incarnations for these guys are very close.

Let's not forget that the difference between G1 and the movie is the same as the difference between a comic and a movie: the colours that work well in a cartoon or on paper just doesn't serve for real life depiction, and can look downright ridiculous. What will they come up with next: yellow spandex?

Ya had me till that last line

It's a nice thought that so many characters are getting G1 repaints, but in this particular case, I think Arctic camo or army green would have been a better choice.

Three pages and nobody brought up the similarity between this "repaint" and the Incredible Hulk? I'm shocked.

Seriously, though, it's ugly and stupid...but that's just my take.

If Bonecrusher was this color in the movie, he would have had to say: "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" right before Prime kicked his arse.

I don't get the point and purple tires?
if you repaint it, go with G2 color scheme

That image looks pretty light. As long as the colors aren't pastels I guess it could work. As pastels, though, it looks too effeminate to be taken seriously. (No offense to the girls out there, but to look at a character or a name like Bonecrusher and think "girly" is too much a contradiction in my mind.)

You've seen X-Men 1? Reference to the X Jet scene.

-_-

Hmmm....Well BJR has given me a reason to aquire the figure now

Bonecrusher... engineer, warrior, searching for a way to tap in to the hidden strengths that all cybertronians have. Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation, alters his body chemistry. And now, when Bonecrusher grows angry or outraged a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter. The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. Bonecrusher is believed to be dead and must let the world think that he is dead, until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.

*Hulk theme plays in the background*

Seriously though....this is a photo edit. The real thing...if there is a real thing, won't be nearly so gaudy. Just take a look at the difference between Laser Magnus, and his Ehobby pics. The real toy didn't actualy turn out that bad.

Lets just be patient, and see what they do with the actual toy. Some decent paint apps, and it could be pretty cool.

Hideous.

WTF?! - Purple tyres, yuck!

It's clearly a shop, I mean... it's too ugly to be official, surely even those idjits at Hasbro couldn't think rollin' on grapes is cool.

it looks like powerlinx cyclonus from armada but hey i like it

It is good to have a homeage of the G1 Bonecrusher, but the green and purple doesn't give the impression of a ruthless killing machine. If there was ever such a thing as a gay robot, then this repaint would take the title.

What the **** is that thing?! I know it looks like an old school constructicon but forget the repains and give us a voyager class bonecrusher!

I hope this isn't official. It looks horrible, continuing the trend of awful, awful, awful repaints in the Movie line.

Why is it that everytime a construction vehicle Transformer comes out, it has to be re-released in neon green? Am I the only one who is sick and tired of this trend...? G1 colours do not belong on the movie designs. Pick a generation and stick with it, these repaints look like bad time-travelling accidents.

Anyone fancy a trip in the Tardis to undo the damage?

It doesn't matter what color they paint him, I'm not picking up him unless they make a Voyager of him. Same with a Leader Starscream, Leader Blackout and Supreme Megatron. Those will probably never happen but I'll Hasbro I'm not buying out of scale Movie toys.

I don't like this colorscheme it looks weird like a Teletubbie but that my oppinion.

Looks like the Hulk! Heheh

They could have put all that time and energy with a repaint into making a bigger figure--time, and money NOT well spent...

Repaints are very quick and cheap to produce; unlike creating brand new molds which is why there are so many repaints about.

Very perceptive! And you're right, it is a fake - they just repainted over the photos from Seibertron:
