    I may get the Decepticon camera to be in my "Classics" display to be a psuedo-Reflector, but otherwise I will pass on these Real Gears like I have passed on every other one so far. The only reason I have the red mp3 player one (too lazy to look name up) is because I got it for free when Toys R' Us did there get a free Real Gear with the purchase of another Transformer promo. I will say it is pretty nice though.

    I don't mind the recolors. Hell, this is the only line where I remember looking forward to the recolors! However, I will admit I get anooyed when a recolor is the same faction as the original. I don't need two Autobot binoculors.

    .....but I'll probably buy it anyway....

    Eh... No.

    Though a black repaint of Booster 10x would be nice. *gets shot*

    would'nt the "worst weakness" of a autobot structure be the one least ideal or redundant to destroy? double negative standard.

    anyway I like photon. For reasons others have mentioned he's the real modern reflector. The only thing I don't like about the paint scheme is the eyes look like their bugging out more than the original spyshot. (spyshot had red paint to obscure this)

    also just for fun I found this funny photo kind of related to real gear:

    Hasbro is milking it and people are eating it up. Put a stop to it. Stop buying the repaints and force Hasbro to make new toys. If repaints cease to make profits, they will do the right thing... I hope. ;)

    Photon looks pretty good. I like these Real Gear figures. The only problem I have is that the repaints are getting excessive. I also don't like how they made the repaint of Longview into an Autobot. I feel that if they are going to do repaints of these, they should two of each, one Autobot and one Decepticon. But that's just me.

    I would rather have new molds with some G1 homages.

    I still can't believe we haven't gotten a Ravage-esque Real Gear yet.

    I mean we have Laserbeak, we have Frenzy...why not Ravage too?

    I think Hasbro is trying to kill the line in a hurry.

    Hehe I just opened him and the view-screen on the back has a picture of Movie Frenzy in a "caught in the act" pose... Sadly his gold parts are more caramel colored than gold on the actual toy.
