There's a reason for that: It works
On another note, I have 20 different repaints of the Classic Seekers.

Silly enough to ditch the "evil clone" idea, and just paint the characters black. It works, black goes with anything

I got 22 classic seeker repaints and counting. (counting the coneheads) Cant get enough seekers !!! I guess I cant knock Prime fans for getting every repaint. But like Jelze said, ditch the evil clone concept and just market it as a cool repaint. I love my Nightstalker Movie Prime. Has anyone gotten their Classics KO Blue Convoy yet ??? My order is taking forever to ship...

It already is a cool repaint, evil or not. Shattered Glass is no worse than Universe was or any other excuse to sell figures with new or different decos. At Least SG has a coherent and fun fiction to go along with it. You can't fault anyone for liking what they like. You have KOs of Hasbro seekers in your collection which are essentially expensive repaints. You have at least one set of Botcon figures, again expensive repaints. Just FYI, these repaints? Not any more expensive than the normal United figures.

I know, you are right about that. Im a old school fanatic. I prefer figures that pay homage to well known characters rather than just seperate entities creating new characters based on repainting..

Scourge existed in 2000. Nemesis Prime in 2003. And many times onward for both of these 'black repaint' characters. These aren't separate entities, they're established characters.

I don't think people want this as a black Megatron, but becuase it's a homage to IDW Megatron. I for one am gonna be putting it with my other CHUG Deluxe-classes seeing as I doubt thery'll ever release a proper Deluxe G1 Megatron.

The black Megatron repaint? That looks awesome. I personally love how it looks like Don Figueroa's redesign.

I honestly have no idea. I assume more will be revealed when the bior is published. At the moment tho', in lieu of the 2008 Voyager, he's going to be my Nemesis Prime.

These are pricy at $80-100 shipped.... but cripes they do look amazing. Plus, now I can arrange the Megatrons according to descending color value... gray, dark gray, black. Gonna get all OCD on that shelf.
Now, where are those War for Cybertron Seeker jets. We need those to pad the ranks and balance out all those cars.

Conclusion : Real ugly paint apps on such awesome molds...It's a real pity...
Posted by gothsaurus on May 24th, 2011 @ 4:42pm CDT
The new paint colors pop just about as much as the original, but the solid black on the vehicle mode for Prime (ie. not a mix of red and blue) unifies the whole thing. It looks like a friggin' batmobile. I'm SO sold now. Glad I compared with the earlier versions.

Quoted because you did it about as nicely as I could have. Actually no, I couldn't have put it nicely.

I just realized I own 5 of those 6 figures...
And oddly enough each is their own character

*gasp* Wow, he doesn't like the paint app!
Seriously, he doesn't like light blue on a black prime, who cares if we've seen it before. Now he hates all of those figures

He's complaining about something set in stone. It's like complaining that Starscream is red white and blue.

Not everyone's a GEEWUNNER. We're not going to like every paint job that's "set in stone." Heck, I hate the paint apps on Smokescreen. I've complained about it (not in public) and does that mean that I should be taunted about it? No. Just because it's "set in stone" doesnt mean we should like it. Wait, I was just redundant, wasn't I? We have our opinions, and we're entitled to it. Don't shove it down our throat.
P.S: Starscream changed colors for the movies. So if people aren't GEEWUNNERS, and they hate the old paint apps, then yes, they can complain about that.
Bay-verse fan: Bay-verse fans, put your hands up.
and, LOL We're off topic.
I hate the Black Megatron. Lovin the Prime. I'd like some of that (<--sounded weird the second time *triple facepalm*)

CrimsonPrime is acting like it's the first time he's seen teal on a Black Prime. You come into a continuity that has lasted for 27 years and you bitch about something that's been going for awhile, then you're going to get a face full of information in your face.
You want me to shove something in your face? Stop acting like you know everything and everyone else is ignorant. I'm not a bloody Geewunner, and when you post a rude picture of facepalming, and claim i'm taunting, then what the hell do you want from me?
