oh boy another energon spear... the only reason i got this guy in the first place

Kind of bland, with those muted colours...

I cannot see any "S7" on it though, but being a movie repaint and not a Real Gear toy, it has to be a Sector Seven toy...

Why...why...why do we keep getting repaints? Why call a bloody repaint of an Energon toy a "movie" toy?

Sorry I can't be any more positive than that....

Remember that this is still just a test shot.

And what isn't depressing about Sector 7?

Actually, seeing as how he has two Autobrands on him, I'd say he's pretty much an autobot, much like the Arcee repaint, if I'm not mistaken.

Personally, I think these colors are waaaaaaay better than the Energon one. Might pick him up this time around.

I love these colors. He would make a nice minion to movie Starscream with that scheme were it not for the bot symbols.

i think he looks pretty cool

I love it!

I hate repaints, but this is just cool!

Also is it just me or does this guy (in the origional colors) remind anyone of te G1 toon SkyFire?

by **Roboto750** » Tue May 29, 2007 8:32 pm

He was an homage to Skyfire, he was even supposed to be NAMED Skyfire but they couldn't get the rights.

That was kinda the idea when he first came out. Energon did a number of homages in that fashion.

so bland i almost scrolled down the page without noticing him...

y'know I really don't like this kind of thing. I know the market is geared towards the kids and thier parents that buy them the merchandise for the movie. How do they think they can get away with this when they've made toys specifically for the movie like they have?

by **sparkofchaos** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:58 am

lil kids would be like "i don't remember seeing him in the movie..."

lol me too. I thought "hey, big weapon, be great for my combiners" :lol:

Why do I seem to have the original colors of these re-colors :-?

I like him. Makes me wonder what he's been through since Energon since now he looks like he's been trough the ringer a couple of times.

Im not too mad at the color scheme, but to be considered a "movie figure" his face is too humanoid. Thats its only downfall.

Plus the sellers in China, he could be just listing it as a movie figure to get more hits when its really just a energon test shot.

True, that humanoid face is a little un-"movie-ish". Still like the paint app though, so I'll probably pick him up.
