That looks so much better, if only they got rid of the ice bits...

Megs looks good with the metallic finish, but the ice still ruins it for me. Personally, I think the blue ice on the current voyager looks better. Now, if they would only repaint the Leader Megs with a metallic finish, that would make me very happy!

I like the metallic finish ratchet

Megs looks freaking sweet but ratchet looks pretty much the same if i dont get leader megs ill definatley have to snap up this repaint

I also found this very interesting. More interesting than the repaints actually. I wonder why they decided to do this.

These have to be the most boring repaints since Hitler painted Swastikas on his zombie troops during The Zombie Uprising of '99.

So getting Megatron. Why do i for see these as target exclusives?

Okay, I might try to get that particular Megatron.

Btw, Ratchet is the one we saw on Ebay a few months ago from an Australian seller. Deco was done in metallic yellowish green.

Don't see a lot of difference in Ratchet.

Big difference in ratchet. He's isnt lime green anymore, it's more of a yellowish/duller green, and I think they somewhat fixed his doors being brighter then the rest of his body, from antoher image taken awhile ago.

Oh why wasn't Megatron painted like that in the first place. So much better. Rachet, meh, no big difference.

the only reason i will not be buying the voyager repaint is becuase the hands are ugly colors. Unless i lake them off and paint them black......

Crappy toys. Hasbro is getting ridiculous.

Dear Hasblo,

If you're going to do repaints, do a decent job with Voyager Megatron and get rid of that infernal fake ice garbage on him. It sucks.

Sincerely, you TF fan and collector,

Sportimus

I swear Hasbro never reads message boards

'NO FAKE ICE!!!!!!!!!!!'

*sigh* Hasbro... whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

hope it's released here in Indonesia

Thank Primus it's not over here. That's more disastrous thna Leader Class Megs. Ratchet...meh, I see no difference really. I'll wait for re-paints.

I Think Their Cool! If i can only Get then @ my local stores.....I would be defenetly getting him

What's with everyone? It's my 2nd post in this thread, and i've had it up to hear with people amazed at Metallic Finishes! It's people like you who feed Hasbro boatloads of money for shipping out the exact same model with a different paint finish!

I get how people enjoy repaints, simply because many T-former collectors aren't good painters at all. Like if there was an '08 Cliffjumper, people would definetly go out to get it. I also understand Final Battle Jazz, since it gives collectors and fans a different weapon for Jazz to wield, and it also gives a battle-damaged look. I understand Evac repaint of Blackout because it's a character that some fans enjoy.

But Metallic Finishes? Megatron, Ratchet, as well as the '74 Bumblebee i've seen before are a waste of money. C'mon, if you happen to already have Megatron, Ratchet, and '74 Bumblebee, and continue to buy their metallic finishes, you are either a hardened collector, a movie supporter, a Megs/Ratcher/Bumblebee fan, or just plain stupid. What's so special about the Metallic finishes? Can anyone understand that there's nothing special with it at all? All it is, is some varnished figure, in which the varnish isn't even worth someone buying the figure all over again.

Honestly, if you're buying something other than the original figure, atleast buy a repaint of a different colour, or something like a retool. But for pete's sake don't even touch the Metallic Repaints!

I really felling Megatron! Not Ratchet!....Dude but everyone has different taste. i been waiting to Deluxe Figures for like ever. Haven got one at any of my local stores i think thats is some real mess up Shhh...

I think people were really hoping for a repaint on the leader class megs...

Megatron might have been half way worth it if they had gotten rid of that stupid ice! Has anyone out there pulled it off (if it will come off)?
