    I feel the exact opposite of what you feel.

    My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

    Jesus is that horrible, it's the Skittles Rainbow of Pain, even Onslaught's weapon gets turned into a bad color choice, I mean, really, green?


    BTW, the Wreckers version is 2013, I think.

    I don't know what the problem is. The retail colors genuinely look great. Does ANYONE remember a time when Transformers actually had color variety, or are we all too affected by Boring Michael Bay color syndrome where everything has to be red, blue, black, green or purple? :rolleyes: 

    For the record I actually have the SDCC version...and I still don't like the colors on those very much.

    I'm more tolerant of some colors. (Which is why I like neon/G2 decos)

    Onslaugh and Swindle look good, especially Onslaught. The rest look ridiculous.

    I used to hate these but now I really want them. Blastoff looks amazing :)  Swindle and Brawl look gross though

    Looks good to me! I was kinda bummed when I missed out On the SDCC version but this one looks great. I don't know why but the in hand pics really make this figure POP! I'd buy them

    Not too fond of these colors, but I'm going to be fine with them. My real interest is the G2 version.

    I'm curious to see if Swindle's arm pins like to work themselves loose still.

    I have the G2 one on the way but that wont stop me from getting the retail ones when I see them, but I have bad luck when it comes to collecting a combiner set through the retail stores only.

    I dig these colors, especially in robot mode. I'll be leaving my SDCC in Bruticus mode, these in individual robots and g2 in vehicle mode, most of the time.

    These things will be scalped like crazy. I'll order the case online if I decide to get this set.

    That will be one cool looking display.

    By the responses we are seeing here, I doubt it. I can see people selling the set for inflated prices when the cases are released, but I don't think these are gonna fetch the batshit insane prices the SDCC version garners even there. And I doubt it will last even if they do, aren't these all in a wave by themselves?

    Each Combaticon is one per case. These things will be scalped, count on it.

    Ya' know, that ain't too shabby. Made me want the SDCC limbs and then get this Onslaught and paint him up a little. The blue is a lot more accurate. I'll probably pic up a few Onslaughts and Blastoffs to make decepticon troopers since a lot of them looked like those two. Also, it makes me think of the multiplayer colors. Decepticons get brighter colors anyways.

    Well I got my son and myself the G2 and also a case of this wave for each of us preordered and going to be put away for Christmas. Gotta have my Fruiticus and Dudicus!

    But the first picture shown in the first post, WAY outshines any other picture shown of him.
