    I have all these molds already in colors I prefer so I'm passing, but I recommend them if you don't have the molds yet.

    I bought 7 Skyblasts the first time around, I wonder how many I'll get this time. There's a second repaint coming too, right?

    Cool recolor, but they just don't "fit" with the movie figures.

    The Skyblast mold is a personal favorite of mine as well, and I think he looks pretty keen in these colors.

    There was a listing for a couple of repaints, which I've posted in the Merchandise Thread... keep in mind, though--this listing is VERY old, and there could have been changes.

    My personal theory (note the bold) is as follows... three waves of three:

    Wave 1:
    Arcee, Hardtop, Signal Flare

    Wave 2:
    Clocker, Skyblast, Strongarm

    Wave 3:
    Armorhide, Skyblast 2, Strongarm 2

    Or ask someone that does live close to a Target to pick one up for you. :) 


    I haven't picked up any of the Target exclusives, but I think it's high time I do!

    I didn't like SKyblast either, I sold mine. Bad leg articulation and the head looked like it was sculpted out of cheese and painted with fingers. The deco on this one is nice, but a mad mold is a bad mold.

    Very much looking forward to Clocker and Strongarm. I hope some other loud Energon and Cybertron figures get ''fixed'' with nice repaints like these.

    Hey, like I always say, you can never have to many scouts. I snagged up the first wave of these guys with the real gears, and I'll probably definately be picking these up. Still waiting for that Dirge repaint of Skyblast like from the Attackix line though...

    I'll definitely be picking them up, Skyblast looks awesome in darker colors:)  I still need to get Arcee, Signal Flare and Hardtop...they were everywhere last week, now that I've gotten paid and can afford it, they're nowhere grrrr......

    Not me. The Energon Repaints will go with my Energon stuff, the Cybertron with the Cybertron stuff.
