    Ok, since repaints is standard in TF (though Hasbro said it's something they're trying to get out of) it stands to reason that Ransack might have at least a couple more decos in him. I figured it would be kinda cool to have either 2 more Ransack type scouts (turbo-prop Seekers) or maybe even make a couple more old pre-jet plane TF ( a Corsair, or even a P-31 or Black Widow, or a Sopwith Camel or Fokker triplane) Thoughts

    Every time someone suggests repainting him as the red baron, the airplane nerd in me rages with the fury of a thousand suns.

    Since he's an Albatross, there are a lot of interesting paint options. A Red Baron paintjob would be inappropriate though since Richtoffen's Albatross wasn't red. I would like to see a version featuring a lot of wood paneling though, since that is something the Albatross is known for.

    It'd be cool if he was remolded into a triplane.

    This is the first thing I thought of when i saw him.
    I might even commission somebody to repaint or redeco me a squadron of seekers.
    I love the Hearts of steel comic series, and this is the closest we'll get to a toy like that.

    I would buy ALL of the Ransack repaints. ALL OF THEM. Three of each. One on card, one in alt, one in bot. I am in love with the biplane-former.

    I think this mold would make a great custom paint project.

    I would like to have 2 more, so maybe there would be a Seeker Wing in the Movie Universe (Ransack plus 2 others) They can give the other 2 old sounding names (heck, there are some Go Bot names that would fit this type character.)

    wouldn't be surprised as with many mold thereis always a chance for recolors
