Yeah, me too.

Also, MM-89 probably stands for "Micromaster 1989".

 

I believe that they said as much at Botcon this year.

 

Dude looks nice, better than Powerglide. I love how he's decked out in the "official" decepticon colors, and the deep translucent blue looks good too. I'd like to get him, maybe more than I want Silverbolt.

 

Though it's an improvement, it's still an ugly mold imo.

 

Srsly. This is what I've thought since the day we saw his proto images.

...Of course, I hate the Powerglide mold with a fierceness unending, so I will NOT be picking up EITHER color.

For how Powerglide SHOULD look (IE, not tall, dumpy, and well-endowed) see Jizaitoys.  

 

Since I love the alt mode so much, I'll pick him up and own them both!

 

i realy like him i will get him over PG

 

Oh? I must've missed that.

 

Wowza, that is one seriously ugly repaint. Between this and that Treadbolt thing, Powerglide's new white color scheme is suddenly looking gorgeous by comparison.

I'm a little nervous to see what they'll repaint Onslaught & Silverbolt into... because we all know there *will* be repaints of them eventually.

 

G2?

Show me one person who wouldn't buy a yellow Onslaught and a baby blue Silverbolt.

......


I'd buy it.

 

Me too.

Stormcloud's not a femme? Could've sworn she was. That's really disappointing to me for some reason.

Still, looks good. Must get.

 

*raises hand*

I know I'm in the minority here, but I always thought the G2 repaints & color choices were beyond epically awful, and it never surprised me that TF essentially bottomed out as soon as that line showed up on store shelves in all its neon glory. I *am* surprised, however, that there are evidentially people who not only liked it but who also want to see these kind of homage repaints being done with present day figures.  

Either way, it seems unlikely they'd repaint Onslaught or anyone else into a G2 version of the same character. Seems that with the Universe line, all repaints are destined to be new characters.

 

Don't worry we'll get Action Master Thundercracker colors on something soon enough.

Oddly enough I thought the Stormcloud repaint kinda looked like an evil police airplane...

 

Well I for one am not only not going to be buying the Ultra line cause its too much money but will not buy any new repaints for the same reason.

 

I guess I'm in the minority here, cuz I prefer Powerglide 100000% over this repaint. Like someone else mentioned, that awful green/yellow detail is just AWWWFUL. If it were done in almost ANY other color it would have been a win.

 

I was going to buy this guy as soon as I heard about it. This only makes that resolve stronger!

 

i for one would not mind a desert camo redo or the urban camo paint scheme like in the universe/armada reissues they did a couple of years ago....

I loved those two remolds of bruticus and would not mind getting two onslaught's in those colors....

 

here, here! I second that comment. No offense to anyone here, but those colors are godawful, how can anyone think those colors work???? I can understand if the colors match, but c'mon, green and purple????
