    well, those havn't been sighted around here at all. not only that, but they've only been sighted in all of the state but just a few times, so you're obviously wrong in that assumption.

    But it is also a smaller store chain.

    Most Targets have cleared the line in their reset period, a good many Walmarts never carried the line at all (none of the 3 Walmarts I had access to never had them), TRU is NOT that plentiful (hour plus drive for me).

    This is the best chance Hasbro has to get some of the money back on developing them, and in all honestly, aren't bad repaints (opinions on the molds themselves aside)

    Looks pretty cool, but I think I slightly prefer the BW10th versions.

    ALREADY?

    I think they look allright, I prefer the originals but these aren't horrid by any means. It's just surprising that we're already getting repaints of them. I haven't even seen the BW 10th ones in stores yet. I know this had been speculated, but I didn't think it would actually happen. Wow.

    Hey Hasbro, how about letting us find the toys first before you repaint them?

    Primal looks okay.

    Megatron looks like a piece of s***.

    I wish they could pre-plan all their repaints and release them at the same time.

    I think I'll chime in and add that I haven't seen the originals yet either.

    Primal looks OK, but that Megatron is U-G-L-Y.

    I really hope I'm able to find the BWX versions of both toys, because I like those colors much, much more ... and they have the little ships which is HUGE plus IMHO.

    If I'm not able to get the BWX versions, then I'll have to go with these guys. :(

    I am suprised by how many people like these repaints. They are hideous. Another Technicolor puke job.

    Hm, they gave Megatron the ugly Armada Predacon colors from his Transmetal repaint. I bet these characters are released into Cybertron with different names. Megatron will be Predacon, of this I'm certain. Optimus Minor for the other? Maybe just Primal without the Optimus?
    I won't be buying these, by the way. I'd buy the original paint jobs if I could find them though.

    For once I think it fair to say this thread would be better WITHOUT pics.

    YEESH!

    I guess they were working with the "shit" pallette that day.

    I like Primal's color since it does not look colorful like Megatron's. Just Megatron's with Green and you you have a solid scheme.

    Or better yet, change it to Scourge's scheme say this was Scoruge before he evolved. As for Primal, he could Prime's brother.
