    Yeah, but the Armada/Energon lines were pretty ordinary for its time considering that they came straight after Car Robot/RiD. We went from a line that inspired Binaltech/Alternators (Takara have stated this) to what we got in Armada/Energon. In that context Armada/Energon was pretty 'meh.' I was extremely happy when Armada came out but that was because it broke that gawd-damn TF toy drought of 2002!

    It's like what Eddie Murphy once said if you were stranded starving on a deserted island, and someone finally found you and offered you a stale cracker, that would be the best cracker you ever had in your life!

    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.

    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.

    Indeed. I wanna see undoctored photos before forming a more conclusive opinion.

    Ratchet looks good. Great that they resculpted the head unlike classics Cliffjumper.

    Ill probably get Ratchet coz Im a sucker that way, but i really dont like the ironhide/ratchet mold. The sides just look AWEFU: in vehicle mode.

    Hot shot looks awesome. I was a big fan of the Armada version (Still have him somewhere) so this looks like an amazing upgrade!
    i do NOT Play with toys...

    But I DO occasionally do scale model assisted simulations in physical fight dynamics.
