Pipe it Down!!!

all Autobots have blue eyes (speaking from a strictly G1 POV)

Marvel comics are every bit as G1 :/

Um... even if 5FDP was talking about the cartoon, that Pipes doesn't have blue eyes either. And it would also mean that these guys aren't Autobots. Which is bad news for the good guys.

And this custom is awesome - looks much better than the original toy. Can the eyes/lightpiping just be coloured in with something like a red permanent marker?

Indeed. There are plenty of Autobots who don't have blue eyes and Decepticons who don't have red eyes in the G1 cartoon - including Pipes.

Yeah but Misfire had red eyes in the cartoon, so I can understand why some stickler for show-likeness would want to paint the eyes in red. I don't agree with it at all, but I can understand it. Same with my original G1 Trailbreaker - the original owner painted the eye blue too. Freakin' annoying. Worse still, the reissue has blue eyes too. I should 'restore' my original Trailbreaker's eyes to red.

The stupid thing was that I got my SkyDasher from the same guy, and he'd also painted in his eyes in blue, despite the fact that NONE of the Powerdashers appeared in the cartoon -- so I see no reason why he did that!
