They look nice, but I have no need or desire to bolster my ranks with repaints for the movie line.

I think Mixmaster looks quite good and Swerve looks great.

On-screen characterizations are enough for me this go'round.

I'm not exactly big on it either, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone else will hate it... Swerve on the other hand, looks fantastic.

I love the G1 colored Mixmaster. I liked the mold to begin with, but was put off by the mismatched shades of white in robot-mode that made the toy look kind of cheap and generic. My eyes find this much more pleasing, with fully contrasting, sharp, vibrant colors, and a paint scheme that means I can throw it in with my classics line up like I have Movie Brawl and Animated Swindle.

My only regret now is that I broke down and spent $12 on Rampage rather than wait for him to be repainted. I won't make that mistake with the others.

This time around, I've only been going after figures that aren't repaints from the first movie, but I broke that rule for the TRU set.

I'm really liking this Mixmaster repaint. I think if they do all 6 in G1 colors, I'd buy them.

I will get arcee who is the third bike or is there one? I would have rater had a blue tracks version unless he will be in classic universe 3.0. I like the movie version better than G1 color mixmaster.

I just hope we get the EZ/Legends versions in G1 colors. I'd be all over that.

I know, and yeah I suppose I should have posted with a little less sarcasm. I just spent 3 days on an island with 90 sixth graders. You can take a wild guess as to my mental state (such as it is) right now. 8-}

However, just for a bit of insight, when I make guesses or comments as to particular color schemes or certain aesthetics I don't always just throw out personal opinion. I try to approach it the same way I would one of the jobs I'm contracted for so I take every aspect into account and try employ a degree of professional detachment. When you walk into a home where just the fixtures in two rooms are running $75,000 dollars and the general contractor is expecting your work to double the value of those rooms you need to make the homeowner happy as all hell and make sure the colors and finishes are spot on and blend beautifully.
Still, everyones taste is different and I've had to put my finest effort into rooms I would never want in a home of my own. So, sorry if I stepped on anyones toes. Plus side...somebody out there can have my G1 repaint. I'm cool with that. B-)

Heck I may even get the G1 colored one. The movie one doesn't appeal to me at all, but if they do G1 repaints of all the Constructicons, whoa nelly!!!!

Have to agree. G1 colored movie Constructicons would be cool if they did all six of them. I think ol' Mix looks better like this than the regular movie release.

Mixmaster looks, just disgusting. Ugh.

If I wanted Geewun, I'd go spend $100-something dollars for a Devastator.

I dont know what to think about Mixy! i have him already and i love his colors now, but these colors i dont know about, theres something not right about them, i think its the green and purple, anyway, dont want it, looks terrible and who ever buys mixy is completely whacked in the head and color blind! and swerve is awesome! and one more thing, HASBRO stop the repaints please!!

i think that most people dosent like the Mixmaster repaint because his mold is very unattractive and the paint makes him worse. for me, G1 repaint Mixmaster looks like a toy i would actually consider buying because the normal one just looks disgustingly bad. imagine seeing long haul in G1 repaint or devastator in g1 repaint! that would be awesome!!
