Well he is getting a deco and becoming deathsauras for a box set of Liokaizer. It's totally weird and might be your taste.
Takes doesn't really stray away from G1 color schemes when it's mean to be a G1 character and that's what Skylynx is. Personally I think they go a little too far with trying to be accurate. Menasor is an example of that for me personally. Same as Bruticus, I think takaras is hideous. I know there's an audience for it but sometimes changing it up and adding some new colors are better IMO
Yeah... my problem can be that they try to apply the cartoon-accurate colours to toys that are really not designed to go well with them, leading to some pretty bad results like Drag Strip or Onslaught IMO.
That said... sometimes they can do very good. I especially like what they did with Motormaster; going with making him the colours of the cab rather than Hasbro's take of making him the colours of the cab and the trailer. It's an interesting difference made especially better by the fact neither is necessarily a better choice; it's completely taste-dependant. It's mostly new tooling that can really win me over.
