The main thing that caught my eye was how the bright red/orange energon pieces contrasted so heavily against the relatively flat colours of the figures...
Interesting. I'd like to see Onslaught's alt mode.
ADDENDUM:
Yeah, I just wish they'd make those black, gray or something more subtle.Quote:

Yep this hits negatively at my TF morale as it would have been so simple to get it right if they had payed attention.
Yea I mean, those parts you have to manually attach anyway don't you? So why not make it fists/footplates?
If we get this set, I'd definitly look forward to the people that did things like the cliffjumper kit to make a real hands/feet set for this guy. Oh yea, and some back guns.
My issue is not the feet and fist but the color assignations.Quote:

I would have forgiven the name assignment if it wasn't for the colors. I cannot pretend that a Helicopter with Swindle's colors is Blastoff.Quote:

Actually, I already have my Universe Classics 2.0/25th shelves split up between new moulds, and mere recolours, and already the two sections have completely different looks to them, despite both being Gen1 homages. It all comes down to the design era, and without a new Bruticus head at least, this one definitely goes with the mere recolours.
