so the robot mode colours and the vehicle mode colours don't exactly match up...Quote:

so, they replied to my tweet.
what we can see is their final submission except for tweeking the forearm to match the vehicle.
Unless there is a reason why this can't be produced these will be the final colours.
I replied saying I thought it was a bit risky soliciting prior to actual approval.
Hence the disclaimer of "actual product and colors may vary". :(
I don't understand... if this was the one toy that was designed to be Ruckus BY Hasbro before changing it to Offroad, then why not use Hasbro's colour scheme.
And if Hasbro didn't have a colour scheme planned out before changing their minds on that toy, then FunPub are trying too hard to match the Gen1 toy.
So far the entire front of the vehicle and the arms (sides of the vehicle) of the toy have different colours on different sides, so it will require a lot of paint, which costs a lot. They don't need the cream colouring inside the front of the car section, because having it behind the robot head is not a priority. It's there to homage the shoulder guns of the original toy, but since this toy doesn't have shoulder guns, it will look wrong having that colour sitting so far behind the head, where it can benefit from a dark colour to be ignored (like the Japanese Nightbird toy that has the car parts behind the head black, to keep the eye focused on the thin petite female robot in front).
they replied saying that that's how it always is as they don't really know what they're getting until they get the test run back.
it must be so frustrating existing like that, not knowing what your selling until it's too late to make any changes.
I just had to google Ruckus to see what he was like after all these years as I thought the clubs toy looks awful. I can see what they are trying to accomplish, but I think they should have changed it a bit as the vehicle mode just looks like trash. The beige roof, but not the beige roof by the hinge, just looks a bit half done.
Mayhap they should have gone for the Universe/comics colouring instead? ANd I would have made a mock up of both, in case people whinged about them not being slaves to the toy colours.
Hey fellas, I want to get my hands on spinister with his 2 Targetmasters, is there any way to get him without subscribing?
BBTS usually sells them individually at a premium
Images of Spinister are now up on the Transformers Club website.
Note the eyes, as there appeared to be enough demand for separate eyes painted on the visor of that head mould... leading to a call out on twitter by one of the Club people to see if the eyes should be painted on a black background or an aqua background to match the face-plate and Gen1 toy.
The image on the Club website has the aqua version, but I think the black version looks nicer... and if they aren't giving it blue eyes like the Gen1 toy, I don't see why they need the rest of the face painted like the Gen1 toy.
I think the black background is much nicer looking.
