Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Someone tell the guy behind Knights of Unicron that this is the next thing they need to accomplish.
Heck, have Trypticon turn into a soundstage that compliments that set. Replace the radars with sound monitors, antennae with a drum kit, towers/turrets/missile launchers with laser lights, and ramps with barriers to stop the wanna-be groupies from harassing the fembots.
I just talked myself into this whole idea. Brb gonna go price out Knights of Unicron sets on ebay.
What makes this idea using Trypticon as a stage for the KOU even better is that it's canon. One of the band's touring locations was indeed "Trypticon Dinobase".ScottyP wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Generation 2 Trypticon! Changes from walking dinosaur into LAS VEGAS!

Accidentally.

Astrotrain, however, it a much more complex color change. His black is now purple, except for where it's still black. His gray is now orange, except for where it's still gray. And his purple is now gray, except for the tips of his wings and his rear boosters being orange. Oy.

Are these fancy new repaints homaging anything?

Blitzwing appears to be homaging G1 Duocon Flywheels, with a hint of G1 Thrust.

Ah okay, what about Astrotrain?

Jokes aside and understanding that there is a small group of folks who want bizarre redecos, this is pretty dumb.

Astrotrain seems to be a random redeco. Maybe it's to see what kind of redeco we favor: (accidental) homages (Blitzwing) or new random colors (Astrotrain).Counterpunch wrote:Looks like I was wrong about these.

Like people who are into e-Hobby G1 redecos?
For now I'm viewing this as another of Hasbro's "experiments", like the Beast Hunters Simplified line. I'm eager to see how it pans out.

I think they're neat. But I wonder if this set would be under such scrutiny if it were released under the "Year of the ____" banner.
