    All of those should be repainted EXCEPT for Supreme Starscream and Menasor.

    I'd rather they release the voyager class Cybvertron Starscream in show colors here.

    Measor really needs his mold to be fixed or completely redone. The figure does not fit together at all, especially the torso.

    My only Menasor sits in his box with the store receipt on a shelf in my closet because it was that fucked up right out of the package.

    And that's the most OBVIOUS repaint to do too! Or maybe a simple grey repaint into the colors of an actual shark!

    Can you tell I really like this mold? :p

    I'd like to see Thunderblast (I think) repainted. I know it was used for Botcon, but I don't really count those.

    AEC stands for Armada-Energon-Cyberton, so no Beast Wars/Machines needed.

    Chromia Minerva type.

    Oh, and was Armada Sideways repainted/retooled into anything?

    I'm just saying. That's all.

    Yeah...this thing: Rapid Run (2004) - Decepticon - www.tfu.info

    It was just "okay."

    I've always wanted Armada Sideways repainted in Waspinator colors for a new post Beast Machines body. It's odd how close they got with Rapid Run, being colored like BW Buzzsaw, a repaint of BW Waspinator, and he's a motorcycle, like Waspy was in BM.

    That sentence is close to true... The torso door doesn't snap shut tight... but that's the only thing that does not fit together. It's a little annoying, but not really a problem since the joints are tight enough to keep it in place. There a lot of repaint options for him too: Protoform X, Omega Supreme/Doom/Sentinel, Twintwist.


    "Don't really want a repaint but idea-wise"* :... Ya, Grand Scourge or something with matching limbs. The 'santa' repaint almost looked good.

    The problem is the molded Decepticon symbol. I had been thinking E.Demolishor and Cyb.Landmine could be fodder for a couple extensive remolds... remove the gimmicks, replace with simpler parts(just a hollow bed for Demolishor, simple wheels for Landmine & no missile launcher) and then with that amount of saved plastic include twin mini-targetmasters.

    :rolleyes2  He is already in Sky-byte colors :banghead: 

    Sharkticon on TFU.info
    Sky-Byte on TFU.info
    Ok, maybe there are a few paint details to change or slightly alter the hues of the yellow or purple/blue whatever... but c'mon... Where do you think the original deco artists came up with Sharkticon's color scheme? This is Hasbro's idea of Sky-byte's colors on the mold.

    I think he'd make a good pre-beast Depthcharge, or maybe Actionmaster Krok, or even put him in G1 Sharkticon/Gnaw colors or The Nemesis colors.

    See *, Seems completely pointless to repaint... maybe TM2 Dinobot or BM Rapticon colors since there are some similar mold details?

    See *, ya, something to match whatever repaint Prime would get, or colors to match Omega Supreme/Sentinel, or Predaking colors since the head & feet remind some people of him. Predaking + Grand Scourge might mesh together well enough.

    Instead of 1/3 of a rare combiner, how about both halves of a rare combiner: Swoop->Graphy, & Grimlock->Noise, Mega-Dinobot->Decibel

    See *, but idea-wise: Backstop-sure, Ramhorn, Scattorshot-Warpath or E.Snowcat, Wreckloose-G1, BW, or TM2 Iguanus?, maybe something interesting would be a red lizard... ie the red reptile who's eye was on BW packaging.

    Mindwipe (along with Cl.Grimlock=Skullcruncher, BWX.Primal=Apeface, BWX.Megs=Snapdragon, Botcon Weirdwolf, and Energon Scorponok for all 1987 'con Headmasters)

    Don't really care for the mold, but just about anything would be better colors, so sure Sentinel Prime, or Dion, Gears, Mudslinger, Greasepit. Ya, I think I'd like Greasepit the best.

    With a new mold Bludgeon on the way and with Unicron already in bludgeon's pretender shell colors, I don't see much of a point in this Bludgeon. The mold always reminded me a lot of TM Scavenger so paint it in red as Pre-Beast-or-Vehicon Inferno-or-Scavenger, pick your back story & name.

    Yep, -Supreme, -Sentinel, or -Doom

    FM or a single-body version of Devastator or Motormaster with some new mold connector parts: short robot mode=Motormaster, tall robot mode+connector parts to mount on the minicon pegs on his arms/legs to then mount Stunticon deluxe cars [SE.Dragstrip, and new repaints: Breakdown(U2.Sunstreaker), Deadend(U2.Bluestreak), Wildrider(Hasbro version of Henkei)]

    'Golden Age' Cyberton/Primus or Technorganic BM Primus

    See *, but idea-wise... Purple as "The Nemesis", treat it as a spaceship for Legends/Minicons

    Kicker & High-Wire... Since the Micron Booster Perceptor was "Frenzy", repaint in those colors, call them Frenzy and Rumble and we can all start arguing about whether Frenzy or Rumble is the human, instead of their color.

    I have to disagree with you there. Sharkticon's colors do NOT look like Sky-Bite's. If anything they have the same yellow color. I think WhiteMocha's Digibash clearly shows how different a Sharkticon repaint in Sky-Bite's colors would look.

    I would love to see him repainted in G1 Sharkticon/Gnaw colors though.

    I think that digi-bash clearly shows how incredibly similar the colors are and how redundant a repaint would be. Like I said it's a matter of a few paint details and changing some hues.

    Even so, Hasbro has been doing a lot of that lately wouldn't you say? Besides, I would buy ANY repaint of Sharkticon, even if it was a simple and redundant repaint. :D
