    I am inspired to do my first repaint.

    The goal? Repainting that Vector Prime into a completely silver/black motif.

    Inferno is looking good! Vector Prime however dosen't look good with brown legs, but I still do want him. At least he looks better than the original Cybertron Vector Prime or that caramel-colored version of him.

    Inferno remains a must-buy, yet the new Vector Prime pics are a complete put-off for me. :(

    Still loving Inferno. A sure buy for me.

    The Last Autobot pics are obviously worse than the previous heavy doctored ones, but I still think it manages to look like The Last Autobot's colors from the comics.

    I don't know how some people were seeing bronze or gold in the previous pics though. IMO it has always looked brown.

    Yeah. And coincidentally on the days I was away for a training, so I'm still trying to catch up on the news. :( 

    Huh?

    Mass release? Where?

    And as others have pointed out:

    Nemesis Prime was/is a Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive debuted at SDCC08.

    Also, Botcon Alpha Trion had a remolded head. From what Pete and Brian have said, Fun Publications owns the molds to any new tooling they commission for Botcon and Club Exclusives. So forget about a mass released Alpha Trion unless you don't mind the same Vector Prime head. :) 

    In the crotch, of course. :D

    Cause Hasbro loves repaints.

    Regardless, I will be surprised if Inferno is not repainted into Grapple. Very surprised.

    Man, VP is hurtin'. So many black paint apps are missing from the stock photo. The bland brown replacing the goldish-copper was the dumbest thing ever. At least they painted his sword, though. It might just be that because his stupid key is in his belly, he looks less colourful and non poop-ish.

    I wouldn't.

    Like he said, it wouldn't make sense. Grapple is a stupid name if you're not a crane.

    Hell, it's a stupid name IF you're a crane, but that's beside the point. Maybe if tehy remoulded him, but he's still a fire truck, not a crane, and doesn't look anything like a crane.

    While I can't see him repainted as Grapple, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he WAS repainted into Hotspot.

    Yes. And "Hardtop" is a stupid name if your vehicle mode has no roof, and "Tread Bolt" is a stupid name if you're a jet.

    :lol 

    Yeah, Hasbro's logic is hard to follow sometimes.

    I still think he'll be Grapple someday. Maybe there'll be a remold, maybe not, but I think it will happen.
