    I quite like G2 Sideswipe's colours, and G2 was the lowest point of my collecting. In fact, he was the only G2 Autobot Car that I bought. I skipped Jazz and Inferno. G2 Sideswipe is basically G1 Sideswipe's colours but in reverse. Oh, and the fact that he was a bad-bum commando in the comics also really helped. And from Hasbro's POV, they needed to do something different. After all, I'd only just purchased reissue Sideswipe in 1991 - releasing him only 2 years later in G2 with near G1 colours would definitely have made me skip him. As a kid with limited income, Hasbro would've had to work harder than that to make me buy that toy... turns out they did. Although it also helped that Sideswipe (as with all of G2) was a massive pegwarmed and I got him at discount.

    I don't really have any favoured colours (can we have a poll option for this?), but as my toys are faction segregated, I notice that the goodies tend to have brighter colours and the baddies tend to be darker or more pastel. Not too many purple Autobots.

    Question

    This is an interesting question. I know Vangelus has mentioned a few times on the TFW podcast that he much prefers cooler colours.

    Apart from not being able to see my collection right now on account of it being in boxes, I don't think that would help much since I have a lot of characters of many different colours.

    I tend to sometimes buy a mould based on colour though. I remember when the Darkmount/straxus mould cam out. I've never read the G1 comics so I had no attachment to the character. I liked the vehicle mode though, so decided to wait for a repaint (even though at that stage none had been announced). Later on the skullgrin version came out and I bought that because the colour of the toy made a lot more sense for the vehicle mode than a deep blue, even though blue is my favourite colour.

    I bought the G2 MP Sideswipe based purely on the colour of the alt mode.

    I like blues and reds in general but prefer a mix in my collection, otherwise the figures all start to blend together.

    My fav TF colour scheme is Blue/White/Red as brilliantly showcased by probably my two fav MP's - Ultra Magnus and Smokescreen.
