    The SG Constructicons are Medics hence the red/white Ambulance colors.

    Ha! It looks brilliant. I'll never own it, my 3rd Party commitments are elsewhere, but for those who get one, congratulations on a fabulous looking set.

    Could they make it any more obivious that this is directly pointed at BotCon/FunPub? That packaging is soooo BotCon, plus the certificate! I think it might have been CheersIan on Canadian Slag who said it, "this set is a $500 middle finger straight at FunPub" and it's awesome for doing that.

    If I had the money, I'd buy it.

    Looks more like an affectionate homage to me. Why assume ill intent?
    Why would FunPub take offense?

    These new pics are very impressive,but it pisses me off to no end that TFC used the exact color of blue plastic for the Perseus's eyes and guns that they should have used for the eyes and jet canopies for Uranos.

    The gift set looks amazing though. I love the packaging and that pics of Herc and Perseus squaring off is my favorite.

    I agree all Autobots should have blue eyes, but the jet canopies? They weren't blue in the show, nor did any of the G1 toys have blue canopies...

    Looks sexy as hell, and I don't even like SG stuff. Gotta save some cash for both Predakings this year, so I'm passing on it anyway.

    I think the reason they didn't use blue for Uranos is because they used it for Perseus...unfortunately...

    But yeah, that packaging is crazy sexy

    It would distinguish the Autobot jets from the Decepticon jets with their yellow canopies. Plus, they would likely mold all clear parts at the same time in the same color.

    I really wonder how well Perseus is going to sell. I'd love to get him, but that is a lot to spend on a recolor.

    That is what I am saying about the story..Some were mirrored of their "nemesis" as far as colors go, and then some where just random colors. Constructicons as medics never made since to me. But then again seems prime should have silver and Megs red.. but whatever.

    Why wouldn't repair men be seen as medic to robots? Maybe the are in the colors of G1 Ratchet?

    I would buy Dinobot colored repaints with new parts and weapons in a heartbeat. Love those pics.

    Oh boy, if MT released their constructicons in this color scheme, it would be my first purchase from them.
    It's extra cool because Grimlock was a part of Landfill/Buildking :D 

    Good job, sir.

    Dang, I should have stayed out of this thread. I had no problem passing on this until I saw the new pics and the packaging. ..... Too much good stuff coming out......
