Pics of Classics/Universe 2.0 Hot Shot/Ratchet

I wonder how many paint applications we are going to lose on the production model.
I'm guessing the yellow on Jolt, the detailing on the shins and the black on the shoulders and chest of Hot Shot
And I think Ratchet will lose the red on his shoulders

Nay nay nay -
I don't think it'll be lost at all! At least on Ratchet anyway!
Remember that repaints in this line seem to be pulled off far better than the original releases?
Look at SideSwipe and BlueSilverstreak!

I reckon the initial investment's already been paid off with the original release of the toy, so there's more room in the budget for more paint-apps - just a theory though

Kind of true, but I think they would rather save the money.
If this was true I think they would have done a better job matching Sideswipes roof paint. Yes it is better then his brother, but it is still noticeably darker.

Man it looks horrible in those photos. Especially the windows.

The thing is that all they had to do was choose a more blood red than their super bright red to make that toy look at least close to the promo pic and that alone would have made a huge difference.
