Good job!

I like the new versions with the new colors a bit more...Your rachet looks cool though.

You forgot to put the wings up on the StarScream in his alt mode....just a pet peeve of mine!

[y2jversion1]

They're not mine actually - they're from an auction on ebay. Originally the seller did not have bot mode pics but later he emailed them to me upon request so I just posted them here.

And I hear you about the wrong transformation.. major peeve of mine too!

[Jochimus]

To be honest, I kinda like Movie Screamer's existing head and color scheme better on that mold.

Ratchet, on the other hand...I hope Hasbro mass-produces that thing. :woot:

[Destructicus]

now that is how it should be.

[Jochimus]

THIS one beats both of them, IMO: http://www.seibertron.com/news/view.php?id=10603 :word:

Nothing can top this repaint of Classics Voyager Megatron!

He looks even cooler than the original! :eek: Almost makes me want to go out and buy one to try repainting it myself. :D

You could always hold out hope that IF Takara does anyting with the calssics molds that Megs would be those colours.

[Timstuff]

Yeah, but finding websites that actually sell un-modified Megatron figures (or any other "realistic" gun toy, for that matter) is a major pain in the butt. :(

[lars573]

That's easy as hell. None US based website. :trans: :up: Agesthreeandup.com for example.

Dang, I just found that custom Megatron through a Google Image search. I had no idea that its creator was a Hype member! I love your work, Jin! :D

This one is going to be part of the Robot Visions line like the current Target Exclusive Voyager RV Prime. There is is also going to be a RV G1 Colored Movie Jazz as well.

^why the different head though?

^why the different head though?

I think that's a repaint of the Thundercracker figure.

[lars573]

Yep, that's why.

[Nathan]

Pretty lame actually if you think about it. All they did was to put on a different head and then they sell it as a new figure.

[FatA$$]

well damn thats pretty lame then

[Nathan]

What's even worse, is that Thundercracker looks more like Starscream, than Starscream himself.

i agree i like the thundercracker figure much better

[Darth Rockwell]

I don't know. I like Ratchet the color he is, though the G1 does look cool. I think though I'll stick with Starscream the way he is and probably pick up Thundercracker and the repaint so Starscream can have his squadrin.

Megatron (movie) >>> Megatron (cartoon)

nice

[Darth Rockwell]

Okay now seeing the Jazz repaint I'll probably pick that one up. It loks really good and plus the package gives you a little spoiler.

During the long process of being rebuilt by AUTOBOT RATCHET, there was a lot of time to think. AUTOBOT JAZZ digs his Earth vehicle form, but the silver paint job had always left something to be desire. It got scratched too easily, for one thing, and dust stuck to it like cyberflies on old oil. Also, it wasn't nearly eye-catching enough. Just because he's supposed to be in disguise doesn't mean he can't be noticed. With help from BUMBLEBEE and AUTOBOT RATCHET, he picked this color scheme as the one most likely to get him appreciative looks from all the humans he passes on the freeway.

I know I'll also probably get the Starscream just cause I want a squadrin of Jets but I still don't know how to feel about the Ratchet repaint. I mean there isn't anything about him that makes me want him. I'm happy with the Movie version the way he is. I guess I'll just have to do some more thinking on that one.

Do we know if we are getting any other repaints?

[Guy Gardner]

I didn't see, when do these come out?

[Spidey-Bat]

I like the silver better.

[Timstuff]

If they do a repaint of Leader Megatron, then I'm out of a job, lol! :p

I know, but I've decided I want a better painted leader class megs and my attempts at cheaper figures have been, well lets say less then succesful.

[d.k.]

Wow, that Jazz and Starscream are definately very nice
