Hasbro must have a massive excess of baby f*&^ing blue. I've looked at some of these new US exclusive deluxes in the cylindrical packaging, Incinerator, Desert Brawl, etc. and they all have these ridiculous baby blue highlights.

Does someone seriously think this looks good?

Add Stockage and Landmine to the list too:

As a matter of fact, after now providing pics, it looks to be a cornerstone of the "All Spark Power" line. It's shocking though.

The Allspark line is centered around the use of that disgusting bright blue. Hasbro must've ordered a couple of tonnes too much of that paint.

don't shoot me, but the blue looks ok... yes maybe alittle overdone... but it kinda highlights their weapons/special bits.

reminds me of the Energon series with the excessive use of green

IMO Would have been better to use that paint for the V.class Ironhide Eyes, rather than that light up eye gimmick that doesn't work.:mad:

Yeah I was complaining about this to someone some weeks ago, the blue looks disgusting. It reminds me of the excess Orange that they used in Action Masters.

They are trying to grab the customer's attention with flashy colors which is fine but its not a good when the customer throws up after noticing it.
