(2012) Favourite Repaint/Remold?

[SkyWarp91]

What is your favourite remold/repaint for a TF figure? Could be from any line so long as it's a repaint or remold of an original mold.

Right now I'm really digging Terrocon Cliffjumper. The clear purple and the zombie-like quality makes him so badass

[Sky Shadow]

Opaque Bot Shots Sentinel Prime. He's just so cute. The only thing that could make him better is if they rereleased him in orange and blue.

[GoktimusPrime]

That's Super Bot 001 to you! :) Btw, have you noticed how his battle stats are actually different from the regular Sentinel Prime? They're higher than regular Sentinel Prime's. So he's not just a repaint, but if you versed SuperBot 001 against Sentinel Prime, Super Bot 001 has better odds of winning (in the event of an initial tie)! :D

No, Goki - I said I like the opaque one. From the three-pack. And yes, I know the stats are different, they're similarly different in the online game.

[GoktimusPrime]

What the... how the hell did I confuse opacity for transparency/translucency?!? :confused: <gives.myself.an.uppercut>

I think Sky-Byte is still a damn fine redeco (of a not so great toy).

I totally agree. It does a good job in salvaging what was a really ordinary design. :)

Both Sky-Bytes are, but I assumed the (2012) in the title meant we were picking from 2012 toys.

[GoktimusPrime]

I haven't seen 2012 Sky Byte IRL for myself, but it looks neat in photos. :) I don't mind the Energon Sharkticon mould so much though. It's no where near as failtastic as TM2 Cybershark IMO. ;)

[Quickstrike]

Welp, apparently I can't read.

I don't even know what's come out this year! I'll say Dark Steel just because he's weird.

I really like RTS Cyclonus and e-hobby Scrapheap.

Botcon 2012 Treadshot.

Really liked the head sculpt detailing on this guy. That and the colours really does sets him aside from Jazz/Stepper. Wish they put in the same amount of effort when designing Gigatron's head.

That's because he doesn't exist except as a character in the IDW comic. (Botcon Sky-Byte was 2011.)

Or 2010, now I think about it. How time flies. :)

[tinyJazz]

For now I'm going to say Botcon 2012 Kickoff. I really like the orange, and the headsculpt is very tidy.
Also it's the best deluxe mold in the history of ever, so there.


Opaque Bot Shots Sentinel Prime. He's just so cute. The only thing that could make him better is if they rereleased him in orange and blue.

Please let this happen!

[GoktimusPrime]

I didn't get any of this year's BotCon toys, and this year's retail stuff has been rather mediocre (probably why so many people are choosing the BotCon stuff instead :rolleyes:). But if I had to select one toy to favour amongst the others out of this year's retail lot so far... I guess I'd go for Ratchet, even though he's really a pretty ordinary toy. Nothing like being a big fish in a small pond. ;)

[SkyWarp91]

Er I called the thread 2012 because I assumed there was another thread that had called What's YOur Favourite REpaint/Remold and this would just be an updated thread.

You can choose ANY toy from ANY YEAR, so long as it's a repaint or a redeco
and your choice is current :)

Btw, Dreadshot looks dead sexy and I love Dark Steel's odd, metallic colours.

RiD Scourge and Sky-Byte.

Generations Legion Motorbreath, my new Scourge

[Hursticon]

Of the Retools/Remolds that I've acquired this year, I'd have to say that my favourite is a position equally held by Generations: Sky (Black) Shadow & Amazon Exclusive: G1 Unicron (Hasbro). :)

Black Shadow is a multifaceted homage that just really appeals to me and the pleasure I derive from this figure goes beyond just the exquisite colours, paint apps & head sculpt - He's very much a case of "History Repeating". ;):cool:

G1 Unicron just blew me away with how much of a difference a new head sculpt & well placed paint apps can make, especially being my 3rd iteration of this figure; Added the fact that he is accompanied by (I believe) the 1st official Kranix named figure, the only way this Singularity-Paradox could've been any more superior is if he had a green LED within his head as opposed to the default red LED that every release of this mold has seen. :D

I agree, this was one solid repaints and one of my favs. For a Hasbro/Generations toy, I enjoyed it more than the original Thunderwing mold. Just plain good quality plastic that you don't necessarily need to hold delicately.

Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive Transformers Animated Elite Guard Prowl (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/tokyo-toy-show-exclusive-transformers-animated-elite-guard-prowl-gallery-now-online/19653/).

It's how TFA Prowl should have looked all along imo. Was so chuffed when this toy was announced, it doesn't get much better than this for me. :)

"VERSED!" Did I just read you say VERSED!? This is unforgivable! I will see you in court! :D
