    I don't like Silverbolt's colours and I'm disappointed that Firefly barely changed his paintjob.

    Other than that, cool looking team.

    I'm honestly really sad that we aren't getting Alpha Bravo in Slingshot's G2 colors.

    I feel like Powerglide's a bit of a missed opportunity. In observance of G2 minibot tradition, he should be chrome!

    I'm... kinda half serious.

    If they really want to make this a perfect homage to G2...

    ...Slingshot has to have GPS. Maybe some painted on cracks...

    I must say, this set is essentially perfect. It is quite a bit better and more accurate than the G2 Menasor set, so I wonder if that is due to different designers. Whoever did this one needs to be in charge of everything.

    My only minor, and they are minor, complaints would be that Air Raid should be a darker blue and we have zero need for a random Powerglide. I'm not sure he really looks like what a G2 Powerglide would have looked like, considering he would have been chrome. Maybe they know something we don't.

    This won't feel completely G2 to me unless it has a clearance Kay-Bee price sticker on the box.

    No Alpha Bravo?

    Seriously, this set is really nice, I like it a lot overall and will buy it when I can.

    It's not really an argument. Accuracy is the entire point. What's the point of a G2 Superion, that doesn't look like G2 Superion?

    ...but this is an homage to the G2 Superion set. If they weren't those colors then it wouldn't be an homage to the set. I don't see where this is an argument. It wouldn't be a G2 set if it weren't for the colors and deco.
