My money says I'll pass both of them

looks like that magnus uses the color theme of Movie Jungle Bonecrusher, like bird shit.

Well, they were bound to repaint the Leader Class figures atleast once & although not awful, they aren't that crash hot either...

They could have picked worse G1 homages but atleast their repaints have some G1 merit (well, not really that Shadow Blade Megs )

Your repaint ideas are getting better Hasbro, keep working at it & you'll nail it one day...

I kinda like the magnus Roadbuster paint job, seeing as how he's pretty millitary and with a big wrecking hammer I can see hims as "Animated" Roadbuster. Ofcourse as I'm not collecting Animated I wont get him anyways but I reckon it could have been worse, Rodimus Magnus perhaps?

I like the colours for Roadbuster Magnus, but not sure either why Hasbro *US* is giving so much attention lately to the character Roadbuster. Many of us in Australia grew up with the UK comics, which featured Roadbuster in a few issues as part of the Wreckers, but the Americans would have no idea who it is, so why even bother with the homage. It'd be like Hasbro Australia releasing a limited edition GIJoe Fred 7 Homage toy, and toy collectors here going, 'who the f... hell is that'?

Roadbuster is that you?

Galvatron in Skywarp colours...... No thanks.

But the Roadbuster colours are working for me.

That's not quite right as the comics featuring Fred 7 was as common as TF comics out here, so most fans of GI Joe would know Fred 7. And they did release a Fred7 hommage figure online to, as part of a three pack.

But I do see your point, but isn't hasbro diversifying its repaint hommages a bit now with micromasters and other lesser known TF's and even Gobots.

Hmm, I didn't know that they actually did do a homage figure already. Ah well, my bad. The comics may have been here, but I just wanted to mention someone off the top of my head that wasn't in GIJoe for very long (and was playing someone else for most of that time at that). And was hoping someone here would either ask who that was, or that they recognised who I was talking about. At least I got one...
