Well. I think that's the last of the Constructicons to be repainted.

I think I might like that one better actually. Don't think I'll buy the mold again, but it does look pretty good.

This will go great with Rampage.
An all Yellow and Black set of Constructicons would look a lot better than the G1 Green and Purple if you ask me.

I like it, the only set of Constructicons I had when I was young was the yellow G2 Devastator and I really dug him. It's cool that they are donig repaints to the ROTF Constructicons that are tributes to ALL of their former incarnations it seems.
G2 Long Haul, G2 Rampage(I think the red one is the real one and the yellow the repaint.), G1 MixMaster, Shattered Glass Demolisher, and I know Dirt Boss isn't technically a constructicon but I see him as one, painted into his Go-Bot colors (or orange Devastator).

Well, I guess since he was already more or less in his G1 green colors, they had to go with G2.

Well, at least now he looks like the Cat 797 he was based on.

Not really loving the effect in bot mode though. It almost looks like they had to use some left-over parts from the regular green version to finish this one.

Damn, I think that figure looks cool in those colors. And I hate Bayformers... This might be the first one of the RotF figures I'll buy.

Hah! It's hiddious! I love it! XD Though, I think I prefer the green to be honest. Told myself that if I was going to get a constructicon right away it'd be LongHaul since the other two have repaints to be released in Canada soon, but seeing as there's a repaint for Longhaul planned now I might pick up Mixmaster instead and wait for Longhaul and Demolishor.

Dig this guy! Skyfire77 thanks for the real pic, the comparison is nice, I didn't realize how gigantic he is. I'm anxious to find out who he is packed with/whether he'll be in the nest line or not

Tough call on which color scheme I like better. This one has a really nice contrast but there's something to be said for the original's green scheme. I'll probably pass since I don't feel like spending an extra $20 on it and have the Original version

Personally I believe that Red Rampage, White Demolisher, G1 Mixmaster and Yellow Long Haul are superior to their original renditions. Here's hoping that whatever's left of the ROTF toy line after NEST finishes strong. Well... we're starting off well.

Of course, the yellow dump truck DID actually feature in the movie itself. See here:

It's pretty gaudy but construction vehicles often are yellow. The dirt wash is a nice touch.

WOW! I kinda like this for some reason and it would look good with the Red Rampage and the White Demolishor as well! Since the ROTF is slowly coming to an end, maybe Takara/Hasbro will do this? Plus! theres always room for wishful thinking...
Wonder if he could pass of as Landfill?

I really don't know why people are moaning (or surprised at this). I mean, every mould these days get at least one repaint before being retired.
I think I'm right in thinking that of the entire First Movie Line, (Cyber Slammers excepted) only Legends Bonecrusher and Deluxe Payload are still to be released anywhere in alternative colour schemes.
