Remember when Hasbro was going crazy with bright day-glo yellow? Now they're going whacky with baby blue... I dread what's next. :/

Being made for kids doesn't justify bad taste in colours and excessive use of brightness! With some notable exceptions (e.g.: Masterpiece, Binaltech, G1 reissues, KISS Play etc) most Transformer action figure lines are made for kids, including ones in Japan (even though Takara does appear to cater better for collectors their primary market is definitely children - the Henkei comics are clearly targetted at young children (when it comes to TF comics I absolutely prefer those made in English-speaking countries over those from Japan, other than convention-exclusive manga of course)).

G1 was made for kids and it's not as if it was dominated by bright and awful colours for the majority of its run. We did get some horrific colours toward the end (e.g. Turbomasters) though. But it's not as if say Seaspray was coloured with day-glo yellow and baby blue! ;p
