Bonecrusher is a must. Awesome figure, but his robot mode needs a more detailed paint job, badly. Particularly the face.

 

And maybe they can kick him up to voyager class while they're at it. (They did it with Megatron back in the Energon line....)

 

METALLIC BONECRUSHER AND BLACKOUT. THIS, I command.

 

This is irritating. I love repaints and consumer whoring, but I spend so much blood sweat and CASH tracking down nicely painted versions of all the movie characters, including some multiples of Barricade and the Bumblebees. I wouldn't mind buying one or two figures again but man that is ALOT of movie toys to buy.

 

I figured this was going to happen. That's why I didn't buy any first wave.

 

Real F-22's from Langley have an incredibly metallic finish. Pure silver wouldn't be far off from some angles.

Now if I can just get a metallic Prime and concept BB...

 

Bonecrusher demands metalic repaint and size-up !!

 

i already got my ratchet and megs, i got them first thing monday morning at my local best buy and have them proudly display on my tf movie toy shelf. good thing i havent bought leader megs and leader prime yet im gonna hold out till these babies come out.

 

How do you reckon Brawl would look in metallic?

 

I'm really hoping for a Leader Prime in this line...I missed the first one, and really don't care for the "Nightwatch" style...

 

I really hope for a metallic Leader Prime too. Moreover, I hope it's the same metallic paint job as that guy that won 2 "one of a kind" metallic Optimuses in a contest.

 

I would say a leader-class Megatron is the most likely, along with Bumblebee and Jazz (who'll probably get his FB weapon included).


Megatron hasn't got a show-accurate paintjob, and no mass-retail release has had a repaint close to that (Best Buy being an exclusive, obviously). I would say he'd be a perfect canditate.

08 Bumblebee is a natural choice since he's a shiny and new Camaro, and one of the most desired TF toys of late.

Jazz had a really dull paint on his first release, a nice shiny silver would wonders.

Starscream is also a crowd-pleaser so I would think he's more likely to get done more than Ironhide, or Prime.

 

True.


However, from what I gather, Best Buy is not as widespread as say, WalMart and Target are in the US? I mean I don't get any 3 of those chains here in NZ, all we get is K-Mart and I believe that's run differently than it is in the US. If the release for these figures is indeed 2008, then the repaint Ice Megs would be long gone, and I would assume that a larger toy store would get an exclusive Leader Megs, available to a different set of customers. Who knows. I guess it's a waiting game to see who gets released and where.

 

Tons of repaints & I bet we'll never get Skywarp.

 

The only movie figures I bought were Deluxe Jazz & Bumblebee '08, Voyager Ratchet & Ironhide and Leader Prime *because* there was no sign of a correctly painted version of Leader Megatron. If that finally happens, then I'll pick it up and probably consider getting the remaining Con's as well. Don't know if I'd re-buy the Autobots though - not unless they look absolutely amazing.

 

wouldent it be great if they made the old camaro gold variant one of them?

 

All these repaints are making me think I should invest in a boat...

 

First thing I thought was: Please release Lawson's Exclusive BB. I didn't want to pay $30 (or more) for it the first time it came out.
