That Red Alert repaint looks good.

I like it, but that doesn't look like Doubledealer. I mean if you're gonna do a repaint of CD Red Alert, it gotta be Doubledealer.

$10 says the Red Alert repaint will be Perceptor. Look at the colors. Perceptor immediately comes to mind.

Waspinator looks pretty cool, and so does the repaint.

That Readalert repaint looks like Stalker, but he's an Autobot.

Prowl looks nice but I'm a bit concerned that his robot mode (standard) may suffer, especially the chest and "rocket boosters" (the latter which seems almost a lot more raised than the original). I might have to buy both Animated Prowls...
However, I'm really digging Red Alert. I'm going to pick up Roadbuster and Overload/Dropshot (yes, both. I know, I'm evil...

) but I was hoping they'd repaint the final mold of the trio, Red Alert, and now they have! I missed out on them the first time round but these repaints look possibly a lot nicer than the original versions from the Cybertron line. Red Alert looks a lot better too although I'd have to say, as much as Perceptor would be awesome, the colours aren't quite right. However, saying that, I could see it being Perceptor pretty easily since they haven't done him yet.
My one concern is the price point with this thing. I'm guessing they will mark it as Ultra class. It's a shame they went for a different size class for each of the trio (which was generally a bad idea - they could have made nice Deluxes of all 3, I think) because this could have easily been a Voyager and not lost any quality. I don't really fancy paying Ultra price for it so I'm hoping they market it as Voyager, but I highly doubt it. That said, it'll be the first repaint in the Ultra line apart from Predacon Bruticus. They DO seem to be repainting an awful lot of Cybertron toys though...

My guess would be Perceptor, following the same pattern of 'Leo Prime' starting as a Legends and then a full sized redecoed figure... though he's a lot less red than Perceptor. Who knows.
Samurai Prowl and Waspinator are looking good, too.

According to rumors, that repaint will be Countdown.

Bah, I was hoping a repaint of CD Red Alert would be Big Shot. I loves me the Battle Patrol.

Rumor is that the CD Red Alert redeco is Micromaster Countdown.

If only all the MM homages would come with an original of the G1 MM as the mech pilot, or old body, I don't know, but if they did, imagine how cool those would display MISB.

At first I was leaning on Micromaster Groundbreaker, but there's no yellow on him. But then you mentioned Perceptor...

If this is Countdown then they should have made a red redeco of Cybertron Hardtop to be his partner. He looks a lot like Countdown.

Because they seem to have made this a homage to his Countdown BASE. It's an easy stretch. In the comics Countdown used to be a full sized Autobot. Maybe they used his spare parts to make the Rocket Base. When he gets up-sized again, they could give him the Rocket Base parts back.

No word at all on Countdown, this is a leaked photo from China of a loose toy, probably stolen or at least the picture was taken without permission. Not even officially mentioned yet.

Samurai Armor Prowl looks better everytime i see him, im quite glad i missed the normal one the first time round

and that repaint of CD Red Alert.. awesome.. cant wait to see his robot mode.. if he is indeed Countdown thatll be all the more reason to pick him up.. i used to have that micromaster base as a child

That redeco looks good. Probably some heavily armed nerd. Why does Red Alert's moulds allways go for those characters anyway?

I have to say I'm very pleased with the Red Alert repaint. Tformers is reporting it's Perceptor. I always wanted to get that mold but never got around to it because the colors just weren't doing it for me. But this one looks a lot better, and it's a character I like! Win!
Also the Prowl looks pretty good, but I'm still holding off until I see a G1 repaint. If they do it I hope they use the original Animated mold because it looks more like him.

Prowl great. Held off on buying first wave Prowl just so I could get this guy for the Armor.
Waspy looks very nice.
And Red Alert, Looks great. Glad they've finally repainted him. Also missed him in Cybertron Defense sub set. This will give me a chance to round off the CD group even if its a different color scheme.

What???
A red and blue Autobot looks like a green and purple Decepticon?
My first thought was Perceptor, since they used the Legends size version, but I would not be surprised to find out he is a Countdown Homage.

Alright! I missed that mold the first time, this looks like a good repaint. Hope he's a decepticon though, I could use more Decepticon forces in my videos.

Prowl looks awesome and a must buy. The Red Alert mould earns nothing but meh from me. And Waspinator...I wish he was either a biological (if stylised) wasp or a fully mechanical wasp a la the original Insecticons. He's somewhere awkward in the middle. Also, I'm baffled by his lack of weapons or anything that even looks like weapons. It reminds me of Superion Maximus' torso figure.
Maybe in season three he'll have, like, crazy guy telekinesis or something so he doesn't need weapons...
