[Down_Shift]

Internet auction site <a href="http://www.taobao.com">Taobao</a> has two auctions for new Real Gear Movie figures. Fisrt is Autobot <a href="http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/0/item_detail-db1-b3b801dd4d996d28b17cb2bd543ce6fe.jhtml" target="_blank">Farsight T-20</a> and teh second is for Decepticon <a href="">Midnighter XR-4</a>

Looks like this may be the last of the Real Gear figures to get the re-paint treatment.

[Jazzz]

first!
great, I've degraded myself.

[Jazzz]

I hope its the last repaint Down_Shift.
I hope...
Farsight remind me of Dirge.
barely
wonder what T-20 could mean
F451 was easily Fahrenheit 451

Midnighter XR-4's link just leads back here

Farsight doesn't look that bad.

Midnighter's URL is wrong, it leads back to this news story.

[Silent_Magnus]

why is farsight an autobot?
Longview was already an autobot.

Although I'm a sucker for blue so I might pick it up.

and yeah, bad link for the other one.

[Jazzz]

LOL
the seller read it Mionighter
its like how people read Scorponok Scorponox.
this guy has got 3 more real gear repaints, Classics Voyager 2-pack, Cliffjumper kit, Alpha Trion, Jungle Bonecrusher and Stockade too.
how do I report that? or help?

[Jazzz]

farsight should be a destron(less to type though this explanation is way longer than decepticon anyways)
he has Dirge's colors.
but no conehead...

[Silent_Magnus]

So can anyone give me a link to the other guy.
I don't feel like sifting through all those auctions.


And jazz, you know there's an edit button right?

Pics hosted for easy viewing, since the Taoboa site is ridiculously slow and unreliable...

[TheMuffin]

Fixed the link for the watch dude.

[Autovolt127]

I'm getting sick of the repaints.

[1337W422102]

I'm diggin' the watch.

[Liege Evilmus]

I guess Hasbro didn't read my letter to them.

[Bass X0]

Autovolt, there's only this many repaints because once the movie license expires, they can't touch the molds again (not entirely sure about the Real Gears).

[Wheeljack35]

This is all we will get until late summer

[i_amtrunks]

Nice enough repaints, but Midnighter is not better than Meantime so I'll stick with the original and the best Real Gear made thus far.

[Zeds]

MOST REPAINTS EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[Sledge]

Eeeeeexcellent. I missed out on Longview, so glad of a second chance to get the mold. Might pick up two, and see if I can do the Cosmos paintjob someone did on Longview.

[kittybot]

las real gear repaints!!!??? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have over 180 thing on my christmas list that are transformers. now i don't have to add more real gears to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stormrider]

This just in -

The KISS Girls will be designing the next series of repaints.
(Just kidding...

I hope...)

[Fireblast]

Hasbro, stop with the repaints, PLEASE! I've stop buying Movieformers a long time ago because of their Beast Machines quality.

[Sledge]

Don't like repaints? Don't buy 'em. It really is that simple.

That said, I think there's a lot of hypocrisy about repaints. Hasbro does one repaint of each Real Gear mold, and people are up in arms. They do two repaints of Movie Starscream, and people are still pushing for another one.
