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

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....
