First Look at Possible Deluxe Bonecrusher Repaint? UPDATE: Confirmed Fake

Posted by Skowl Aug 12, 2007 at 9:02pm CDT 37,437 views
A new image has surfaced of what appears to be a repaint of the Deluxe Bonecrusher figure from the Transformers Movie. The figure is painted in neon green with purple tires, echoing back to the very first incarnation of Bonecrusher as a Constructicon in Generation 1. Remember, it is unknown at this time whether this repaint is official, or the work of a fan. Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more information.

See the image below, and discuss it here.

UPDATE:

This image has been confirmed to be a fake. Thanks to Sso02V for noticing that whoever made this image simply repainted the photos of the Deluxe Bonecrusher from our very Seibertron.com gallery.





More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Front paged and credited!

I hope this isn't official. It looks horrible, continuing the trend of awful, awful, awful repaints in the Movie line.

Why is it that everytime a construction vehicle Transformer comes out, it has to be re-released in neon green? Am I the only one who is sick and tired of this trend...? G1 colours do not belong on the movie designs. Pick a generation and stick with it, these repaints look like bad time-travelling accidents.

Don't really like it but I bet it's real. That's my guess.

That is horrible. There is no point in doing repaints, if the repaint looks worse than the original, unfortunately that is the norm, not the exception in this movie line.

Im not sure if it is meant to be a Devastator Homage, or a Cybertron Dirt Boss Homage...

It would make more sense (to me at least) for Hasbro to make a repaint of Brawl in those colours, seeing as they kept calling him Devastator in the film. He could also be a homage to G2 Megatron as well.

The constructicons were more of a yellow in the show so why are the toys always green? If it is real i may get it just to keep in the box. I like the figure but not the green.

if it's official, then someone at Takara has been hitting the bong pretty hard.

weird...i realize he shares the same name as a constructicon but he isnt supposed to be one of em, i mean he's not even a construction vehicle, he's an army one.

this isnt like the autobots where despite being different vehicles, they ARE supposed to be the G1 character.

oh and regarding their color, they've always been a lime green for me...in both the cartoon, animated movie and all the toys.... to that person who thinks they were yellowish, maybe your tv was just dying? :P

Eh... I can't decide if it's edited from a fan or officially edited to see what he would look like in G1 colors.

Looks like a PS to me too. While I enjoy a well done Homage (cybertron, jazz movie hom) this is bd, Can't realy be useful for stories, and doen't say military to me.

Now, If Hasbro would follow my Devart lead and do Soundwave/Blaster from the FAB Frenzy and Scorponok as Scorpnok to save me time... :grin:

Yikes that is horrid and godawful! I love the movie colours, realistic, functional, and just badass. Totally suited to the alt mode vehicle Bonecrusher is.

I've never liked the Constructicon green and purple: just doesn't look intimidating and serious. I like Transformers because they are robots with alt modes that seem real. Green construction vehicles? Just don't work for me.

I don't see why there is a need to repaint in G1 colours. This Bonecrusher is a military Buffalo MCPV, not a bulldozer. Colouring his new mode with his old G1 colours is different from repainting Jazz or Ratchet because both incarnations for these guys are very close.

Let's not forget that the difference between G1 and the movie is the same as the difference between a comic and a movie: the colours that work well in a cartoon or on paper just doesn't serve for real life depiction, and can look downright ridiculous. What will they come up with next: yellow spandex?

I think I'd like this, and other Constructicon paint schemes, if they toned down the brightness a bit. drab green and maroon? I'd take that.

It's looks very cartoony on him... mostly because of the purple wheels. (Had it been green, with purple highlights and black wheels it'd been cool)

But it's still one well sculpted figure.

I kinda like it! With the possible exception of 08 Bumblebee, the only figures in the movie line that interest me at all are the repaints.

I actualy like it. But, a Deluxe Brawl remould as G1 Brawl with G1 head would be the BALLS!

I can't see this figure being worth buying again.

The arm kibble kills him for me.

It's a nice thought that so many characters are getting G1 repaints, but in this particular case, I think Arctic camo or army green would have been a better choice.
