I don't think you can transform Electro any more

He's easily one of THE worst offenders of Gold Plastic Syndrome

I used to hate G2 for their different colours but now I love them, esp the dinobots

I've never been a fan of the G2 recolours 'cept for Sideswipe.

As for photos, here's my miniscule G2 collection...

Here are some G2-related photocomics:
Optimus Prime vs. Animé Land
Ultra Magnus

To be honest, I never knew about G2 at all at the time. I'm pretty sure that 2007 was the first time I looked at Transformers in Australian toy shops. Only the actual dinobot element was nostalgia for me... the colours just broke it up a bit.

I quite like G2 Vortex, Skydive & Air Raid's recolours - along with the aforementioned Sideswipe. But there are some shockers - Blast Off (why does a shuttle need camo?), Grimlock and Slingshot come to mind.

I love my blue Grimlock lol
I wouldn't mind getting me a G2 motormaster but I know they are hard to come by

If you have a few thousand dollars to waste, then yea go for it haha.
If I win lotto, I would def hunt one down.
(Then again if I won a huge amount, there wouldnt be many I would not try to hunt down haha)

I'll post my G2 Collection sometime soon, nearly got it all sorted.

To be fair... if you're worried about his colour scheme working for a shuttle, Blast Off's colours have ALWAYS completely stunk.

I love G2 Bruticus... but he is pretty garish. Thing is, garish doesn't = bad when you're talking about a TOY. The G2 Dinobots are really nice too -- since they have unique schemes instead of just all looking the same.

(That being said, I'll point out the Dinobots WERE released in G1 colours in G2, as well.)

Yeah, but I can deal with an olive shuttle. Sure, NASA didn't go down that path, but it makes more sense than trying to camouflage them
