I love the compromise on the Mixmaster Barrell. Those who want purple can have purple.

I can't wait to see what Magic they work for Knockout.

Reprolabels kind of fuses the Hasbro and Takara methods of details on these figures.

These look pretty damn good, but that Battle Tanker set just SCREAMS 1990s! Very appropriate.

The best "news" I'm taking from this is that the Reprolabels site loads SOOOO much faster now (unless I'm looking at these before the usual deluge of page hits that come).

The Battle Tanker one will be the first ReproLabels set I buy, that just screams 90s. :michaelbay:

Well, it had to happen some time, a piece of art by Frank Milkovich that I actually like. I'm not knocking the dude as an artist, mind you... his style just never seemed to fit his subject matter to me... this however, with G2 comic stylings abounds, makes appropriate use of his artistic style and really makes it look good.

I am loving that Battle Tanker set! I just wish that the shoulder symbols were, ya know, GENERATION 2 Autobot symbols. :G2BOT:

Windcharger looks nice as does Scourge.

Seriously? JUST last night I was saying to my brother "I wonder why Reprolables doesn't have a Battle Tanker set". Low and behold here it is when I check the forum today. 8-}

I kinda like how garish it is but still I wish it was closer to the original, just a little too Marvel G1 for my taste. The hideousness of it makes it incredibly hilarious though. :lol:

Edit: Aww, the Windcharger set comes with stickers for Wipeout. I'm starting to feel a little regret for getting him on ebay instead of getting the two pack now.

I'm surprised there aren't a pair of stickers to cover up the clear blue parts on P:RID Optimus' forearms, since that was a big complaint a lot of people have had.

I'm not disappointed, just surprised. It doesn't bug me as much, but I wouldn't be against covering them up with some stickers. XD That TF:Prime set is still mighty tempting though.

Wow, the Tanker set looks great.

Image 4 for that set shows "Optional G2 style" symbols.

It shows one symbol and a split one for the hood of the cab, but it comes with 2 G1 symbols just for the shoulders.

Madness!

Definitely be getting the Battle tanker set, as well as a lot of other ones they have.

That's a really nice set of stickers for Leadfoot, shame I'll never get to use them. :BANG_HEAD:

Nice big load of stickers. Scourge's are as nice as they are necessary. That numbering for the Sweeps is a little garish though.

by **Rated X** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:08 pm

I want the mixmaster set. I dont plan on using the purple barrel stickers since I have the crazy devy barrel coming, but it is a nice option.

I wish I could just buy the tech specs part of the battle tanker set. $22 dollars is alot for the small details if you dont intend on putting that stupid mural on the tank.

Those guys rock.

I'm getting the two Prime sets (not including the Dark Energon splatters), Windcharger, and Scourge.

I cancelled my purple barrel preorder because of reprolabels. I like the green stripes left by reprolabels.
