    Hello All!

    I'm thinking that someone was watching Coming To America when coloring this thing. After watching the Randy Watson scene (band playing with hideous baby blue tuxs), someone must have thought a 'Sexual Chocolate' Vector Prime was what we needed! I'm a sucker for repaints, but this one is really pushing the limit in terms of, "WTF are you thinking?" A straight rerelease of Vector Prime may have been better if you wanted to reintroduce the character to those that did not get him before.

    Oh no. Look at his feet. It's that freaking "All-Spark" blue paint again!!!! Hasbro! Jesus! I know you have 1,000,000 gallons of the stuff cause it was on sale at Lowes, but throw it away! You sullied Ironhide with it, not it ends up everywhere else. He's what you do. Make a Universe 2.0 Twintwist and paint him solid blue. Problem solved.

    Yeah, the brown's not all bad, but the fact that it's solid brown is reallly painful.

    Also, does his key have an allergy to paint or something that prevents Hasbro from ever painting it?

    His upper body and sword look cool, though.

    Goddamn photoshop images getting me all curious, and then it ends up looking like arse! Would it be too much to ask for a bit of a metallic sheen to the paint?

    I was never really interested in this guy the first time around. Blah. Pass. I would have rather seen a new mold.

    Yeah he is, I'm going to buy a bunch of junkers and set them all around him on a shelf. See if he can't work his heebie-jeebie mumbo-jumbo and bring them back to life for me.

    Don't know if I'll get this. The brown is awful but the colors they used on his "pads" are great. Might have to just paint the brown parts red or silver, that might look good.

    But do they paint Blades' face blue? Of course not. The one damn time it would make sense.

    Yeah... I'm going to buy him, unless I can find his original color scheme (the white one) for a reasonable price.

    The lack of detail on the brown is rather disappointing though. they could have done something to break it up, but there it is, all that lazy brown.

    Must be a vector of aids. The only vector I see him on is the one straight to clearance.

    WOW.

    That's looks like a steaming pile of feces.
