After having seen that G2 Motormaster figure and which has of th one single most ugly paint schemes to every grace transformers figure. I thought I would ask what transformers figures do you on the boards think have paints scheme that could blind you from across the room. Go ahead and let us know if you have picture of the figure all the better but I thought this would make an interesting topic to discuss.

I generally don’t think many Transformers look bad, but I’ll admit this may be one exception:

And to an extent I want him, but those colors just aren’t flattering, plus I have the original anyway.

I've heard many a complaint about Thunderclash and that G2-esque colourscheme. But I don't understand how his appeal is lost on some... I mean he's out and he's proud.

Not that there hasn't been quite a few atrocities over the years.

Whats wrong with Hienlad?

Universe Depth Charge gets my vote of worst paint scheme.

Especially considering how pretty the original was.

Look at me! I'm a scary bright green and purple tank!!! Most of the G2 paint jobs are hideous.

Calcar... I mean, the mold is one of the most badass molds, but it got out of the factory with a pink-red color, which just kills it.

That, and the G2 combiners.

Excluding G2, I think Cybertron Megatron has a prett ugly color scheme. Luckily the Galvatron paint job rectifies it. But man, poor Megatron gets some really wierd paint jobs- from G1 Galvatron to Movie megatron. No wonder people repaint his figures so often.

And while we're on the subject of G2 combiners: At least the constructicons had some actual construction-esque colors. Poor Bruticus looks like he fell into a vat of tye-dye.

To be honest, I don't think any colour scheme has received as much backlash as Classics Megsy. Nuff said.

The G2 combiners, hands down. Devastator is good, Bruticus is ok in person---if you have a G2 Bruticus you may know what I mean. I have him and really don't mind the tye dye.....

But man oh man, G2 Superion looks terrible, and the G2 Motormaster picture makes me glad they never released it. Some time ago there was a picture floating around of the G2 Menasor and Defensor which were never released in their combined forms and man oh man, what eyesores. Menasor in particular looked fugly.

The recent Deep desert Brawl and the Walmart exclsuive Divebomb. Both are not really a camo pattern of anything natural.

Divebomb looks like he could blend in with tapioca pudding...

TAPIOCA BATTLE PLAYSET! Just add milk and let it cool overnight! Also pretty delicious, nommers

And I actually like Desert Brawl. I'm such a sucker for anything with an earth-tone color :[ that's why I like Sandstorm so much.

I'm sensing some sarcasm in the Heinlad statement... |:[

Two things:

Universe Silverbolt is purple, because it is the Post-Beast Machines version of him. He kept the purple from BM, but was reverted to his old form. It makes sense...

Universe Depthcharge is supposed to look "Dead" or Zombified. He was supposed to be kind of pissed he was brought back from the dead and his color scheme is supposed to refledct his "dead-ness".

:grin:
