    Man, if XTB hadn't jerked around with the colors, I'd prefer to give my money to them just out of spite for FT doing this right the second time around after many of us went in on v1.

    But as things are, unless XTB comes out with the correct G1 blue, I'll wait to see a color render or production sample of FT's to see if it has the right color scheme and not the G2 style darker, metallic blue like XTB is doing on their first release.

    The irony will be FT doing the G2 color scheme first as well just because it's been proven several times recently with 3P MPs that people will by any old repaint, and will buy the first version of something regardless of its accuracy, so they almost have an incentive to do at least one color wrong and then re-release it with the correct colors later.

    Yeah seriously, if you were going to remold a character you already did, hello, perceptor and no one would be mad. Not sure on this choice before full g1 line was completed.

    The render is actually really nice. Will this unseat TW Wavebreak as my MP Seaspray? Magic 8 ball says, “ maybe”.

    It's actually a physical prototype.

    I'm saying Perceptor would have been the logical choice if FansToys was going to remold one of their own releases.

    I know, but I'm saying they're redoing Seaspray because XTB just released theirs.

    If XTB has just released a Perceptor, maybe they'd show a Perceptor 2.0.

    I love FT products, but they are pretty cutthroat.

    Seems more desperate than cutthroat, this is,Seaspray d-list at best we're talking about. They showed more than anybody but most of it is reworks or redos.

    LOL. FT realized just how awful theirs was after seeing XTBs and couldn't take it.

    Now if only they'd redo their shittiest release and make a Tesla 2.0.

    2.0 looks good but I think the XTB version looks a little better so far. I'm still interested to see how it turns out. FT is still in the early design stage so anything can happen.

    Since FT is doing 2.0 versions, I wonder if they'll do the same with Tesla and Spotter?

    Tesla at least, I still like my spotter.

    This seaspray is a good redesign and one I’ll pick up.

    @daliajj - and maybe the insecticons please if FT isn't doing a reissue of the previous designs?

    Might as well get this for bot and keep 1.0 for alt mode.......
