Too bad stock photos always look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then what you pay for.

I know its been brought up by others before, but I can't help but feel underwhelmed by ALL these repaints! I know back in our G1 days, we had the Bumblebee/Cliffjumper/Goldbug repaints, and the Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker repaints, but it seems this new generation is getting out of hand already. Hasbro is being told that we will buy the same product no matter what, just tweak its paint scheme some, and call it a different version.

At least in the old G1 era, they were given new names and personality write ups (which there are some today). But in this era, we've got Robo-vision Optimus, First Strike Optimus, and standard Voyager movie optimus...all three are of the EXACT same mold, just with paint touch ups. Jazz/G1 Jazz, Ratchet/Rescue Ratchet, IronHide/Off-road Iron Hide, Starscream/G1 Starscream... it's getting way out of hand, and now we're about to get another batch renamed "Allspark Power"!?

You CANNOT tell me that EVAC (the awful Blackout repaint with the crap new head and lifeboat) isn't Hasbro getting a little arrogant with this "lets paint it a different color and they'll buy it no matter what" mindset (Nightwatch Optimus comes to mind too)

We need to let them know that while we like the variety, they should take some of the MILLIONS that we've all thrown their way, and start to come up with some new molds (like Incinerator, Landmine, etc) for us to enjoy.

...and if they MUST give us these ****ing repaints, WHERE'S MY SKYWARP!!!

You are right, and did you see how he was acting in the "First Strike Optimus Prime" thread? ...

"Lol" ... might be the right word

I like Overcast and jungle Bonecrusher especially Overcast. I hope we get a swindle repaint, wonder what color he would be, blue maybe.

Wait, there is a swindle repaint, its called cramshaft

Now if I can just find a link . . . . ah here it is:

Nice, I held off on the originals of these two due to their plainess but these repaints look great, preordered both.

I like the swindle repaint too, Camshaft.

Oh yeah, Camshaft I forgot him even though he was one of my most anticipated figures from the line, silly me!

I'd reserve judgement on Camshaft until you see him in person, he really does not look all that good at all. Especially in comparison to Landmine and the Cliffjumper toy's that are in the same wave.

Why did they choose the swindle mold anyway, its fragile and flimsy.

IMO the dropkick mold is way better. They should of focused on that one instead.

Maybe we will see a Dropkick repaint, who knows?

I used to hate that Jungle repaint but it grows on me.
Blue looks neat, and the green and brown are kinda like a G1 repaint(barely)
Dreadwings new paint is awesome but the figure sucks IMO.

when were purple and neon construction colors.
and who'd put that on a military vehicle?
brown and dark green makes some sense.
worse story to a repaint ever.
bonecrusher put his head back on and crawled from america to south merica without being spotted and miracuosly changed his colors.

How about a head AND some real hands for Overcast?

I want Jungle Bonecrusher. Overcast looks good too.

Overcast looks AWESOME!!!! I think I've finally found the perfect Seeker to be Thunderboom!

Jungle Bonecrusher: Needs more green. Plus he needs more retooling so he can look like G1 Constructicon Bonecrusher.

Overcast: Needs to be female and a klutz ala Akira from Kissplay IMMOH.
