big improvement with the truck mode colors. I am glad that Hasbro is starting to see the light.

actually, I only really like one G1 repaint.
Jazz. cause the grey sucks and white rules.
Ratchet was too nursey
Optimus is too red and simple
Starscream I bought but it doesnt fit his body
Only one I can think of as somewhat good looking would be red ironhide

i love the truck but the robot mode looks a bit lacking.
i like both the flames and g1 designs but they seem to work better in their own mediums. to me the flames seemed symbolic of his opposition to the 'iceman' megatron.

The Robot Mode reminds me A LOT of RID Prime/Fire Convoy's regular robot mode.

That looks less "G1" than the movie version itself.
He looks more like Fire Convoy than anything.

I still can't get into this mold, no matter how you color it.

Robovision: Eh.
Movie: Eh.
Battle Damaged: Meh.
First Strike: BAH, Nah, meh, whatever.

I'd say he's clearly the worst looking of the bunch for that mold.

I will let the wise words of Peanut close out my post:

It looks good, but I'm curious..

It's basically Voyager Prime with a different paint scheme right? in the pictures of his robot mode his truck cab is upside down and opposite of what VP's instructions say to do with it. How can you flip it like that?

A little too red in bot mode. Alternate mode looks sweet. I want it, but it's not at the top of my list.

I like the original Movie Voyager whereas this one just seems rather bland too me and the red needs to be toned down a bit. Then again, I really have not been in favor of the G1 repaints of the movie line thus far outside of the Starscream and that was only because the original Movie Starscream color is very ho-hum. Fusing G1 colors with 2007 movie figures has just seemed unnecessary when the overall aesthetics of both lines could not be any more different.

Longs for the days of G1 where we only had to worry about Megatron, Soundwave and Laserbeak wanting to be Autobots, Swoop calling himself Tracks and Slingshot calling himself Slingslot!

I thought that as well.

However bot mode, not so much. :P

I still have my Staks although the one I have was the blue back variant instead of the black. My friends and I used to call him fake Optimus Prime when we were kids.
