    Nice.

    I might pass on Megs, but that Roadbuster/Magnus looks really nice. I'll buy him over the original Magnus.

    Love Ultra Magnus, but they should have changed the clear plastic and head to green. Still, I prefare it over the old colors.

    The Magnus is really nice, but I can't afford 2 of the same leader so Im sticking with the original.

    OMG... How ugly can they make them...pffff. Hasbro is really going mad with all those strange recolors. Won't buy them because they aren't in the story and because they are just to damn ugly. I'm guessing they will on the shelf for an long time. C'mon, Hasbro please make us happy and make an Omega Supreme toy.

    That paint job on Megatron is giving me a "Straxus" vibe. To bad they didn't choose one of his Cybertron molds to paint it on, then he'd have one badass flying cannon mode.

    Interesting choice of colors for the UM repaint. That's all I have to say.

    Roadbuster looks interesting, quite like a giant Brawn.

    Also note the grey head in stead of blue.

    I may pick up Roadbuster Magnus on clearance...if only because he carries a GOLDION HAMMER!!! :rock  I'll have to repaint it gold/orange, though. Haha.

    But yeah, I'm not feeling these repaints. More money saved for the crazy amount of TF/Macross stuff coming out soon.

    Well... I kinda like these. Although I would prefer that, if Hasbro gives us repaints on a 40 dollar figure and changes the color to something that totally doesn't fit the character, the remold the head and make it a new character. a new head for Megatron, and call him Megastorm (making him Megs brother.) Make Ultra Magnus, simply, Roadbuster. Remold the head to fit with G1 Roadbuster, and you can make him one of Magnus trusted Wreckers warriors. I'm not even and MISB guy, but IF I do get these, they are staying in the box.

    I hate how that Ultra Magnus looks! He should never have those colors on.

    Don't know if this has been said already (don't feel like reading the whole thread), but I can't find the energy to care about a Magnus repaint when the regular Magnus hasn't been released yet. August release, my left buttock.

    I like all the Roadbuster homages going on lately, but I'd love to see a new head on at least one of them. I still think that the classics Cybertron repaint is a better mold for the character, but I can see people wanting this one. That said, it seems odd to me that these Leader-class repaints are coming out so soon.

    I'm not a fan of repaints, but that Roadbuster repaint is really out of left field, and looks very swish indeed.

    Hats off to whoever pushed for that.
