Red and blue eyes

The "colour coding" is only a cartoon/movie thing and even then not always (see Thrust for example).

I think Wreck-Gar had red eyes in the movie because his tribe attacked the Autobots (before they made good) so he had to look like he was bad. The new toy's colours are just using the more famous version of the character.

Spending too much time in the recharging chamber (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Personality_destabilizer_device) will have the same effect :p

OMG. First time I've heard of a personality destabilizer device! Lol.

I used to think that the more aggressive bots would have red eyes, and the more gentle bots had blue eyes, regardless of allegiance (since it's possible to be both good and aggressive, but I suppose I can't see how one can be "evil" and gentle, hahah).

There is far more variation in Transformers eye colour than there is in humans. 'Race' does not determine eye colour. (Plastic sprues and paint applications do.)

You never know when someone may be killing you with kindness... that's evil hehehehe:D:D:D

TBH, I didn't notice all this Blue/red eyes thing until I joined here coz some toys had yellow eyes ( Shockwave for instance - well technically metallic yellow) too, then light piping went on and everything went gray area there.

Well Cyberfire Bumblebee from DOTM has red-eyes. But then again with a name like Cyberfire how can you not?

lol!:D

Grimlock is an interesting point here I think. Although look at how many G1 toys had yellow eyes, which featured in neither faction in the cartoon. Predacons for example.

I think the preponderance of this red/blue fallacy has made a lot of people start to misremember the cartoon. I'm pretty sure that Thrust, Onslaught, Shockwave, Sky Lynx, Steeljaw, Ramhorn, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Trypticon, the Predacons and others all had yellow eyes in the G1 cartoon.

Eyes must be Red/Blue depending on faction is so geewunn (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/GEEWUN). :p

[Decepticon]

Never. Really thought about the yellow eyes. For some reason, I tend to look at a transformers eye colour first if I'm unsure who it is. Isn't soundwave known to have yellow or red eyes depending on what you look at? Grimlock IS a good point I must say.

See!! all those Tfs having yellow eyes, which is why as I mentioned - never gave it a thought or notice heheheheh. Well soundwave was my first TF and he has yellow eyes:D - toywise.
