    Looking at the comments from international fans on TFormers about this set...

    "He's so... yellow"

    "eww"

    "...how much money are they thinking they can bilk us out of for a fugly Deluxe repaint and two Legends?"

    "Hey, let's try to recreate Ratchet's movie color scheme AND FAIL COMPELTELY"

    "colonel mustard, with a wrench, in the library"

    "I cant say this is one I will be getting"

    "has any one noticed this it the Ratchet in drag set? This looks like what he sneaks out in when he goes to his "special" bar."

    "Wow, that is ugly."

    "WHAT THE F!"
    "Why Hasbro, why would you do this... "

    "...i vote "no" on the yellow."

    ""f'ugly" is the word."
    "Looks GOD AWFUL!!"

    ...and the most optimistic comment on that thread...

    "I think hes cool looking! And a nice deal with the 2 legends.
    Man its not that bad. I've seen MUCH worse!
    But still a pass. lol"

    The only people who seem to be putting their hands up to buy it are those who don't have the original figure... which seems weird to me because it wasn't released that long ago and seem to be in reasonably plentiful supply. *shrug*

    Bwahahaha!

    Anyway, why would anyone who wants it not have the proper colour? It's still hanging around in large enough numbers. I see it all the time. Which reminds me, I'll leave this post with:

    At Botcon fans should ask Archer and the other Hasbro representatives why this sort of fugly and pointless paintjobs get approved and why the advertised pictures of toys seem of considerably better quality than the packaged figures such as what happened with Animated Bumblebee?

    ...instead they always ask the same pointless 'friendly' questions

    Well, if I was at BotCon, I wouldn't bother asking about cr4ppy repaints. I mean, if I hate them, I just disregard them. I'd be much more interested in (say) the future of the Classics concept. With a limited timeframe, I'd concentrate on the stuff I'm interested in, not the garbage that I'm not interested in.

    That's not to say that these aren't valid questions, but I can see why they're not asked.

    To me consistent decay of quality from Hasbro is a concerning question that should be asked. It affects all figures not just repaints.

    Agreed. It's not like I'm buying a Big mac where ingredients, people and time can vary greatly to what the end product looks like. I'm buying something that has exact measurements in paint used and moulds used.

    I think they need a reminder that they arn't selling fast food. I can only cringe at the thought on what next years movie toys will look like.
