    Wow... It's classics Afterburner. Skyscorcher looking colourschemes looked terrible in the early 90's and they look terrible now so he's an easy pass, which is a shame as it's a great looking figure, just not in these colours.

    argh. You know, if they're going to repaint jetfire, I wish they'd do different booster/armor packs. I'm not a macross dude, but I'm pretty sure they had more than one kind of upgrade package for those guys.

    Actually, I wish they'd do that for a lot of figs. One of my favorite things about Zoids were the upgrade and customize parts. I'd be so much more broke it's not even funny if those came out for TFs.

    Thats a great idea but unfortunatley I don't think Hasbro is either interested in this or has the ability to do this.

    ^ I'm surprised we did'nt have more weapon kits back when every figure had arm pegs. We had minicons that became weapons. I also think there was a botcon set of energon spears but I forget the colors.\

    opinions on treadbolt:

    Well given the darker colors. It's easier for radicons to repaint for black or purple figures. Personally I have something in mind. classics darkwing. Way easier with this plastic than than the brilliant white of jetfire.

    Now as for the repaint as it is. I'll get it, I can't have enough classics.

    The jet mode looks brilliant. So it will sell. These won't be warmers.

    UGH!!!!!!!!

    that brown/gold completely ruins what could have been a fantastic redeco.
    if they'd stuck to blue and black (make everything brown black) and kept the lower extremities blue, maybe even lose the grey and been a little more liberal with the yellow accents, he could have looked fantastic.

    as-is, the Universe Voyagers continue to be full of lose.

    Oddly enough, I like the colors. He doesn't look like an Autobot however, but still. Might have to buy some Reprolabel con stickers. Make him a con. I'll keep Jetfire with his helmet off, Dreadwind with his helmet off, and Treadbolt with his helmet on. It'll keep the three pretty different enough for me.

    The rootbeer brown color doesn't look good on him, though I'll still buy one to repaint. The should have made it the light gray color that they've used on other parts of him. It is nice to see that his clear-plastic parts are tinted red instead of brown (like it appeared in other pictures of him). If I do anything with his backpack, I'll probably turn it into a more Skyfire-ish looking backpack.

    You mean from MicroMaster to Voyager. Still, a pretty decent jump in size for him.

    I guess I'm in the minority, but I like the deco, specially the contrast between the blue and brown and gray parts.

    My Transmetal Megatron would like to have a word with you. :(

    But not as impressive as Hot House, who actually has jumped from micromaster to Ultra class.
