    As the title says, what are some of your favorite color combinations/schemes for toys? My personal favorite would have to be black and purple, which is why Skywarp is probably my favorite of the seekers. It's also the very same reason I have the FP Insecticons, 2.0 Stormcloud, Henkei Dark Skyfire, and why I regret selling my TRU Reissue Insecticons.

    Currently, I'm contemplating pulling the trigger on an eHobby MP Black Rodimus.

    Black & purple is good. I really like the Evac colorway, orange white blues, mostly because it's underdone except for his molds really. Any predominantly red/maroon figs with highlights also because it's pretty underused in recent years too, sans the Cliffjumper figs.

    I love black color schemes like Nemesis Prime, Black Wing Sabre, and Black Rodimus.

    And, I think I should just tell you, E-Hobby Rodimus is TOTALLY worth it.

    As long as there's some bling and the colors coordinate well; I don't have a specific favourite set of colours, but I do like Metallic paint schemes.

    Exactly. I bought him at full price during Christmas and I still feel he was worth it.

    I don't think I have any one set of favorite color combos, but there are a few I tend to like. I'm pretty partial to red, blue, and white/grey, which could be why G1 Jazz and Starscream are some of my favorite designs. I tend to like red and white with pretty much any other color, though (I really like Wheeljack, Drift and Jetfire as well). I also like black with more or less anything (especially red or purple) and red and blue.

    I couldn't say, my favorite color combinations are largely dependent on the character and what they look like.
