The Energon Pub

I've always been one to scoff at repaints as con jobs out to cheat money. But today I had the longest hesitation looking at Rescue Ratchet (just come in from Takara) before very reluctantly putting him down.

The colours were striking from what I could see, and the back of the box showed a really well painted figure. Of course we know that the back of the box never accurately shows the true paintjob, but I really found myself reaching for my wallet before putting it down again.

Does anyone have him yet, and can anyone give me a review of how the colours work out in real life?
