Hi,

As many of you know, Hasbro doesn't appear to know what the heck its doing when repainting the Energon Gestalts as G1 tributes. They seem to get two or three right in a set and completely stuff up the other two for no apparent reason.

The Classics Devastator Set (Constructicon Maximus Repaint) came with a spot on colors for the figures that were to become Bonecrusher, Hook (yes, HOOK! ) and Scavenger but for some reason they gave Long Haul and Scrapper some very unConstructicon black and purple emo colors with barely a hint of green to suggest that they were constructicons. With those color schemes, they just didn't look G1 at all.

So I decided to pull apart the four smaller figures limb by limb and reassemble them so that I can approximate G1 Constructicon colors for all figures. I didn't have to do anything with Scavenger because his colors were just fine.

For the original 'out of the box' colors you can check Cliffbee courtesy of Dirge.

Here is my reconfiguration:

Robot Modes:




Construction Vehicle Modes:



Devastator: (The color redistribution doesn't really impact him much)
