So looks like fans will be getting their wish... we have a G1 repaint for Mixmaster. I wonder if they are going to give all the Constructicons a similar treatment?

That Swerve fig looks so cool!

To be honest this cements my belief that all the same coloured construction vehicles in the live action franchise would have looked awful.

I find I am actually content for the movie Constructicons to simply be what they are.

G1 repaints, so far, just haven't worked with the movie toys (with the possible exception of Rescue Ratchet).

TBH I kinda like it (ugliness is what truly makes Bayformers stand out IMO), but my fave Devastator is still the Universe mini-version. Must put that into the Toy Scout sometime.

G1esque Long Haul could be alright, but can't wait to see that 2-wheeled monstrosity (Demolishor?) they have out in G1 colors. Eww...

Thats what I thought too. But then I saw the new head mold, which I like enough to grab the guy, paint him yellow and name him sunstreaker. :D

But yeah I agree the Mix re paint is sort of hideous.

Forget Mixmaster, did anyone catch a glimpse at Arcee's character art?? That is the stuff of nightmares!

Yeah, she's looking a bit... man-ish too.

I find it curious too there's still talk of her being a combiner - surely that would be mentioned on the packaging?

Just wait for hasbro to announce a set of combining motorcyles that don't have bot modes :o although the current ones don't really have bot modes, well not decent ones anyway.

I've personally never been a fan of movie TFs in G1 colours. And I agree that the G1 Constructicons' colours, as a set, is bland. I actually prefer the original Diaclone colours for those toys, and the movie Constructicons are more reminscent of that!

Looks great but I'll be sticking with the movie accurate constructicons. Who wants just one G1 repainted constructicon? All or nuthin baby! Mind you even then I wouldn't buy 'em. :p

I can acctuly stand the vehical mode for mixmaster, it's the robot mode that the colours get to me.
I've never really had a problem with g1 recolours if the suit the toy(such as the possiable repaint of soundwave) but in this case while I do see the retail value for G1 purists I think the toy is rather ugly and candy-ish. And being a voyager, it seems like a lot to pay for a recolour of a toy that seems perfectly fine as it is.
