    Oh they're red to homage Countdown. As for why some are black I'd assume it has to do with how the molding is distributed.

    Yeah, the Galaxy Shuttle really pair perfectly with the Botropolis Rescue set. I can't wait to get this guy and set up base mode with the Micromaster. I guess it's time to start fixing and restore back my Countdown base.

    That tweet is using a bad example.
    The TF core narrative is "good vs. bad". If you like Optimus there is the full expectation you will hate Megatron, and vice versa. Like wrestling, like north vs. south, like Us vs. Them. It's the primordial urge to judge things in black or white, not so primordial according to some critics of IDW comics.

    Wish it wasn’t this mold, but this does appeal to me.

    This looks so much better than I would expect it to if I were just told the idea. Always happy for more JG1 characters!

    testing the waters for jg1. If he wasn't haslab he'd be a titan class, without the cannon, stand, shield, and micromasters

    However I will buy this as galaxy shuttle hasn’t been updated. I skipped black laser optimus because I already had a better version.

    They're both homaging the same thing pretty much so it makes a lot of sense they would, there're some really nice compact launchpad configurations people have taken a crack at on here if you haven't seen them. They're in the feedback thread.

    I initially had Skylynx for the longest time filling in for the shuttle base, sold that off not too long ago though so this fills that hole really nicely so I don't regret it. Do you have Siege Omega Supreme? The Countdown Micromaster came with him so he rounds off the set entirely. (Though that's probably a moot point since you have the original Countdown. Jealous!)

    Hmm, that's interesting but on second thought that makes sense, they must be painted red then. Leaving some black must also be homaging his own weapons.

    I mean it actually looks surprisingly good but it's a crap mold (that doesn't really look like Galaxy Shuttle anyway) and even worse than Astrotrain in terms of scale, this dude is supposed to be as big as combiners, like Siege Jetfire height or bigger. So much like Astrotrain, I think this one will have to be a pass. At least this shows that the possibility for more Japanese-exclusive characters is very much real, I just hope it isn't in the form of a Core-class Volcanicus repaint.

    You're aware there's a difference between an Astrotrain repaint and a Titan-pricepoint giftset with two figures that have much better engineering than retail ones, right?

    Based on this image I think they are molded red with one painted black. You can just make out red inside the barrel of the black gun.

    No debating there, I agree. Devvy's component bots are way too big. But Devvy himself is in-scale. The reverse is true for the other CW combiners.

    Of course. He'll be a Titan.
