    Grey helmet - bad. Grey socks - bad. Otherwise it looks like a winner.

    That's actually my favorite thing about this repaint! :)  I have a weird thing for Transformers with colored faces.... I think just because I get tired of all the silver metallic faces.

    This is a very odd and unique deco. With the blue face and bronze, it almost gives off a Dinobot (BW, not G1) vibe. Overall I like it, though it does feel a little disjointed. I agree with Ktulu that the silver helmet isn't doing it any favors. Of course, it's a moot point.... I like the paint on the head so much that I'll be keeping his helmet off anyway.

    It definitely looks VERY distinct from Jetfire. I still hate the damn nonsensical "Treadbolt" name, though... surely there are dozens of Transformers airplane names that would have suited him better.

    I actually like his overall colorscheme. Just not his brown poop-missiles.

    EDIT: Is this guy a bot or con? I couldn't see his faction symbol

    No. GPS stands for Gold Plastic Syndrome. You can't have Gold Plastic Syndrome if he doesn't have any gold plastic.

    I think this guy is really funky for some reason. Seriously, I think the brown works and the silver plastic and silver paint actually match pretty well.

    Autobot, his symbol is on the raised area behind the cockpit, it ends up on his collarbone in robot mode.

    I'm liking the design of him, great homage to the G1 Micromaster, who was also blue and a yellowy brown color. Not sure if I'll pick him up since I've got Jetfire, but there's plenty to like about his look.

    Putting him on my "considering it" list.

    I know what it means, and its also been confirmed in the past that it doesn't just directly affect Gold Plastic.

    The Brown plastic used here doesn't look very good quality to start off with.

    Really?

    [​IMG]

    It does have to be plastic with metallic flakes, though. Breaks usually seem to occur along areas where the flakes are poorly mixed. And other than TM Megatron, all the instances of which I know are in gold plastic.

    I don't know of any TFs produced in the last 10 years that have had the problem.

    I still have no idea how folks can determine plastic quality from photos.

    Hm. I think it'd look better with the grey plastic bits replaced with the matching black parts from a Jetfire. Otherwise, not bad. But not something I'll get.
