Farsight doesn't look that bad.

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

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.

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?

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...

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...

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

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).

This is all we will get until late summer

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.

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.

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

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.
