I knew he was orange. The photos look kinda red to me. That purple looked blue though to.
Well, you can just not laugh then.

I just dont get american humour. I never once laughed at Jerry Seinfeld's stand up comedy.
Ya. He's no John Candy. That's for sure.

Or Jim Carrey! (nice one by the way)

Jim Carrey is Canadian?! I seriously did not know that. I need to stop being surprised and just start assuming everyone in Hollywood is Canadian, or Australian.

Wait!
That's IT!
To Hasbro: So, can you tell us why the design team went with these color schemes for these re-issues?
Hasbro: Sure. Easy. They're Canadian.

Would it kill these guys to maybe ask Stevie Wonder if he could offer up an opinion before they pick color schemes 'cause I'm pretty sure he could have done better then this.

(for you youngsters who may not know, Stevie is blind as a friggin' bat)

I don't understand why the U.S. keeps getting brought up... he is very, very orange. If he looks like any flag, it's Marshall Islands

Alright already! I just made an apointment with the eye doctor to check the severity of my color blindness. In this picture...

...he looks almost red, white and blue.

I know what color he is because I'm the only person here who wants this set. Apparently I'm also the only person who likes to have fun around here.

It's rather ironic that your avatar is orange/red! I doubt you're colourblind... it's probably just your monitor

What makes this weirder to me is that the Insecticon reissues came out basically unchanged.

There's a slight tinge of orange to the pictures, no doubt, but even on my monitor (internal LCD, laptop) it's more red than anything. (And yes, my display has been calibrated and set, both in AMD Catalyst Control Center and in the built in Windows setting.)

My guess is it's just bad photography.

I will admit that it's a very bluish purple, close to indigo or navy, but not quite all the way off the purple/violet spectrum.

It is fluorescent safety orange on my end, which I'm fairly certain the toy is planned on being.

Thanks guys. So I'm not crazy. :lol:

I'm pretty sure his orange/red bits are closer to safety orange from all the past photography we've seen.

There is no question though that these colors are obnoxiously psychedelic, and just a complete mystery.

I was thinking this, too!

I bet Astrotrain got held up in child safety testing. They were like, that shuttle looks too much like a weapon! You're going to have to put a safety orange end on it to put it out....
