Me too.

I'd be into a gray or silver Megs. The Galvatron idea a page back would be cool too.

 

Bugbite or GTFO.

 

Much more than that. The idea of repainting OP into UM seemed bad to me since I thought it just wouldn't work... that picture you posted actually convinces me otherwise.

 

I saw a perfect custom a while back. It was a WFC Prime repainted as Ultra Magnus. The alt mode was all white, but the robot mode was in UM colors. That would make a pretty cool Prime redeco.

 

I'd be fine with Prime and Megs getting same character themed repaints, just as long as they were different enough from the original colors (like a Nightwatch OP themed repaint). Ultra Magnus and Galvatron would be nice to see, especially if both molds have alternate head sculpts (it seems to be the norm for at least a little while, so it's possible). Though I'd also love to see them turn the Prime mold into Grimlock.

Out of the current mold selection Bee probably has the best repaint-ability. We're already getting Cliffjumper, with a new head to boot, so Wasp, Bugbite, Glyph, and several others are possibilities down the road. However I can see them releasing a Bee-themed repaint. Something similar to the Animated EG repaint would work well, imo.

Soundwave is probably the most limited, imo. I hope the mold has an alternate head-sculpt, to maximize it's repaint options. The Mainframe idea actually sounds really good, and with a new head-sculpt, would be more desirable than the original SW figure (to me at least).

If Screamer and Ratchet eventually get made, right there is a good couple waves or so of repaint possibilities. The Screamer mold itself could be repainted/retooled eight times easily (T-cracker, Skywarp, Ramjet, Dirge, Thrust, Sunstorm, Acid Storm, Slipstream). Ratchet on the other hand could be easily redecoed into Ironhide, Trailbreaker, Skids, Brawn, X-Brawn, and probably several others.

 

I'd like to see optimus remade as sentinal prime, though he wasn't in the game. Give him a new head and a lance instead of the gun.

I also really like the idea of giving megs a galvatron head and color scheme.

oh and that wasp resculpt sounds good as well

 

With the existing 4 molds?

Any remolded heads, accs or weapons?

Optimus = Nemesis / evil Optimus clone / Scourge


Soundwave = Blaster / Soundblaster / Ratchet? / Ironhide?

Megatron = SILVER repainted 2 pack with Optimus! / Warpath? / Galvatron?

BB = Cliffjumper / Breakdown?

My picks arent quite original, but I dont think this sub-line will have much spark at all...


If we do get any repaints, I would certainly buy a metalic Optimus and Megatron...

Megatron deserves a better figure. Again...

 

The only thing they have in common are pointy ears and taste in paint.

Beyond that, they're too different in shape for Hasbro to pull off a convincing WFC UM repaint of Optimus.

 

Make a Starscream toy and there you have some Seekers...

 

Difference in shape? Their vehicle modes are practically identical.

 

No, no they're not.

 

They look close enough to me. Same rounded front style, same six wheel configuration, same overall streamlined look. While definitely not a redeco it would work as a retool. Though I admit "identical" was not the right word.

 

Ultra Magnus is like a Cybertronian bus. He has a pretty much uniform shape all around that slopes slightly at the front. He's also got those missile things on top.

Optimus is a Cybertronian semi truck. He doesn't have the same bus shape as Ultra Magnus. He's got the exhaust pips sticking out, the flat bed for his trailer to hitch on to, and the extended nose that vaguely resembles the Bayformer Prime.

The only things they have in common are their colors and the number of tires they have.

 

It actually looks like a white Optimus Prime with a large Ultra Magnus-colored trailer attached. It also appears that the "trailer" attaches to the front, top, and back of the cab at the same time...

 

If that's a trailer, then Ultra Magnus alt-mode is just a two-wheeled thing. All of that is one consistently connected bus-like vehicle.

 

I second that. the alt mode looks more like galvatron's than megatrons.

 

This i agree with.

That is all.

 

Okay, this is never gonna happen, and I'm probably alone here, but I'd really like to see Prime repainted as Electro.

-they're both retro-style trucks with rounded, bulging hood sections
-both turn into bulky, powerful-looking robots
-Prime's "glowing" electrical details would work well for Electro, like he has energy coursing through him (and Prime's chest "windows" could be painted with the blue digital-looking pattern on Electro's chest)
-Electro could really use a new toy, since all specimens of his original toy are slowly but surely turning into gold dust

Even better, of course, would be to also give him a new headsculpt and sword, but even Prime's headsculpt could work as they both have faceplates.

 

They could even package him with the original--just a little baggy of gold powder.

 

this is what it looks like to me. was actually considering getting some styrene and trying to make something like it, but haven't had the chance, especially since college starts back monday. I'd like to see someone attempt it.
