Who are the repaints in the 3pack?

News Credits: 1 · by **guardianprime** » Sun May 03, 2009 11:40 am

those are pretty sweet
i may pick up the three pack if i see it (i was quite fond of the cybertron line)

for those who are wondering i have checked the galleries
the molds in the three pack from left to right are repaints of:
Ransack: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... nsack/569/

Scattorshot: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0

and Repugnus: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ugnus/862/

(does the repugnus mold make any one else want to hurt things?

That is a nice repaint of the Blackout mold... but we've had three repaints/retools already, so unless you've missed those it's not really a necessity. I wager this is just Hasbro's way of including him since he's a returning character without releasing the exact same figure. Shame really, the character could of used a tuning up.

Cute three-pack, but I already have those versions of Ransack and Scattorshot and the first version of that lizard mold. But I give them points for including three of the decent scout sized figures instead of some crap like Backstop.

Mudflap's face doesn't reassure me any that the twins aren't going to be a pair of retards, alas. :evil:

Actually they aren't repaints, just straight repackages of figures from the Cybertron Line which where repaints. But these colors are not new.

Its Ransack GTS repainted from Ransack, Scattershot (no repaint) and Repugnus repainted from Undermine.

Not the greatest set if you ask me. I'd be all over it, if Scattershot had gotten a nicer repaint perhaps in dessert camo or something. But as is, I'm really not interested in these molds.

Unless Blackout has some cool remolds ill pass. The 3 pack interests me but i doubt ill ever see it. Mudflap is an Epic Fail so its a pass.

I still say there's something about that RotF packaging that reminds me of the 80's MotU He-man stuff.

Pass on the shelfwarming, pointless, annoying repaints. Blasted SPARs.

Pass on the Blackout as well. Still can't believe they gave the first movie's round of toys a Leader class Brawlastator but not a Blackout, then stuck us with a Deluxe-sized/Voyager-priced Blackout robot. Was hoping for a leader class this time around, no dice obviously.

Question on that note. Usually there's, what, just three Leader class figures if the last movie was an indication? So for this one we already have Prime, Jetfire and Megatron. Does that mean no Fallen? Really?

black out returns huh? well it better be a new mold if not--i'll buy him anyway, my black out i have doesn't transform right---unless they release the animated version before the movie one.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks that Blackout should have gotten Leader treatment. The voyager was okay at best. A kickass character like that deserves more. I hope someone at Hasbro reads this, so they will realize that making Blackout leader sized would enable them to make a version much more faithful to the film. And the universe 'repaints'?... meh.
Also can't believe that Bay, who didn't want to make Bumblebee a VW, because it wasn't 'macho' enough, decided it would be a good idea to put in 2 electric cars, whose bot modes resemble victims of Agent Orange. Oh well, I guess they'll be good for online Botcomic jokes.

The twins are conventional ICE cars, the Chevy Volt (Jolt character) is the only electric car.
