Fisrt is Autobot <a href="http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-db1-b3b801dd4d996d28b17cb2bd543ce6fe.jhtml" target="_blank">Farsight T-20</a> and teh second is for Decepticon <a href="">Midnighter XR-4</a>

Looks like this may be the last of the Real Gear figures to get the re-paint treatment.

Farsight doesn't look that bad.

Midnighter's URL is wrong, it leads back to this news story.

why is farsight an autobot?
Longview was already an autobot.

Although I'm a sucker for blue so I might pick it up.

and yeah, bad link for the other one.

Autovolt, there's only this many repaints because once the movie license expires, they can't touch the molds again (not entirely sure about the Real Gears).

Nice enough repaints, but Midnighter is not better than Meantime so I'll stick with the original and the best Real Gear made thus far.

Eeeeeexcellent. I missed out on Longview, so glad of a second chance to get the mold. Might pick up two, and see if I can do the Cosmos paintjob someone did on Longview.

Hasbro, stop with the repaints, PLEASE! I've stop buying Movieformers a long time ago because of their Beast Machines quality.

Don't like repaints? Don't buy 'em. It really is that simple.

That said, I think there's a lot of hypocrisy about repaints. Hasbro does one repaint of each Real Gear mold, and people are up in arms. They do two repaints of Movie Starscream, and people are still pushing for another one.
