BBTS Updates with new FAB pictures

Front Paged and Credited.

All of these repaints are either vastly different or better than the Original (looking at you Ramjet).

Add this to the Stormsurge and Evac repaints we have seen lately, and could Hasbro be finally understanding what to do to make repaints worth a purchase?

These are great!

BUT WHY ISN"T IRON HIDE RED!?!

Actualy, I like the silver, I just figured be the voice for all the horse beaters who'll never see this

They look awesome though, I realy like the SmokeScreen homage.

Ramjet looks great!

These look surprisingly good.

you know...if only the voyager ironhide was a shade of silver like that instead of blue...

I love that Smokescreen. Just LOVE that paint job.

Well, ya see, he isn't red simply because the ramifications of such a thing, modified by the quasi-reality of the possibility of there being a "red version" of this figure compounded by the the fact that he..most likely...will be repainted red at some point...then Umm...

< pokes LE in the eyes and grabs the FAB Ironhide, then runs away laughing maniacly>

*edited for comic effect

Those look, cool.

okay, it was a joke...

besides movie Iron Hide would look like a can of crushed tomatoes in Hasbro's hands, personaly, I hope it never happens. Besides, if he was named anything else, no one would care if he was red or not.

Now keep running, less they catch you!

Go Man GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my, that Smokescreen's looking good! i could get this to pair with my Cybertron Smokescreen.

FAB Optimus = Awesome Rodimus, way better than an RV
Smokescreen is fantastic except for the jazz head.
G1 colors! not blue and white/green, red!
They should release a normal version of him.

my eyes is on ramjet and rodimus

we get a blue and silver repaint of Ironhide.
but no red? oh well I only wanna get Smokescreen anyways

Wow... I'm pretty much loving all of these. Smokescreen is wicked, Optimus rocks (and is it me, or did they find some way to remove the hole in his grille in truck mode?), Ironhide looks way better with silver than the blue Allspark-powered version, and Ramjet's colors are far superior to Starscream's. I'd have preferred Thrust or Dirge instead of Ramjet considering that those two went to Botcon, but for all I know those repaints are on the way too.

You and me both. That paint job is awesome!

Wow, not bad at all

Smokescreen looks great!

please deluxe smokescreen fab is good and all but a deluxe repint?

Holy WOW, those rock. I thought I had finished with the movie toys, but it looks like I'm gettin' the new FABs also. I love how Prime is not only a nod to Rodimus, but to his G1 self as well. The blue legs, red chest and arms totally scream G1 Prime. Awesome.

These do look real nice. 'Specially Ramjet....gonna have to grab that one.

Wow, those look great! Too bad they're for kids.

As opposed to like... all of the other Transformers toys that aren't?

i dont like them they do really look crap

really can't see where you're coming from, silverbrich - the molds may be simple and aren't particularly realistic looking but they are no way near crap, especially not with these color schemes. okay, so they aren't perfect - I only own the original FAB Ironhide and he has lame arms but other than that he's fine for what he is.

back up your opinion with a reason if you want it to be valid.

As someone on the Allspark Forums has pointed out, this silver Ironhide is in fact a homage to Go-Bots Ironhide
http://www.tfu.info/1995/Autobot/Ironhide/ironhide.htm

He would have had pink legs if that were true. Its not a close homage like the other three are.

While they look decent. Please, for the love of god. Stop with the repaints.

I disagree Senor Hugo - these are must buys for me whereas the originals are still definite passes. Thats the power of a good repaint.

I don't like the FAB...

I generally felt that way, too, thinking they were pale versions of the regular deluxes of the movie line.

However, I came across FAB Blackout one day and it grabbed my attention immediately. I liked the character, but Voyager Blackout had been a little disappointing. So, the next day I stopped by a TRU that was along my way and bought both Blackout and Frenzy, since my movie line couldn't be complete without SOME type of Frenzy.

After opening and transforming both, I have come away really impressed by the FABs. Blackout's transformation is fun and holds together very well in helicoptor mode, something the voyager lacks(the rear compartments become easily loose from their pegs). But Frenzy really impressed me; when I first looked at him in robot form, I wondered, "How the frick is this thing going to turn into a radio?" Well, let me tell you....it's a pretty cool process. Now if they could only have given Frenzy some metallic gray paint at certain joints, he would be amazing.

So, I missed the original FABs earlier, but I agree, these repints look really good, if just for the paint applications themselves. The FAB line doesn't have great poseability and yes, is meant more for hassle-free play for kids compared to the more advanced deluxes, but they are a real pleasant surprise and I would recommend at least 1 or 2.

oh man they look cool

oh man they look cool!!!!!

these look cool and all but i don see whats so special about that site, 90% of its over priced.. i seen 2 necklaces and rings on there they wanted over 200$ each for and they looked so cheap and made of silver.. no thanks lol

I'm not sure about Ironhide, but I think Starscream is supposed to be Ramjet, Optimus is Rodimus [Prime], and Jazz is Smokescreen.

According to the names listed, Ironhide is Ironhide and Optimus is Optimus.

Smokescreen definitely looks like a go for me if they turn up in shops near me.

Glad I passed on most of these already.

Still. What would you rather have? The same toy with nothing different but a new paint job?

Or the same toy with a remolded head to go along with the new paint job?

I prefer the remold/repaint, and not just a damned regular repaint.

cool repaints! i'm loving the smokescreen and the energon rodimus homage prime!

it'd be cool to have a deluxe smokescreen, though...

Remolds are nice but they don't come along often. Remolds are the bonus, not the normality.

WoW Nice! I'll get them all!

The Smokescreen looks great! and the Ramjet too!

mechajol wrote:it'd be cool to have a deluxe smokescreen, though...

Yes, it would.

these are rather cool looking... might pick up ramjet and smokescreen

They look great except for Ironhide who isn't homage.

Those repaints are hot, boy! Oh, silly question: anyone knows what Ironhide is supposed to be? He is not red again.

Hey guys. I wanted to show y'all this. It's a pic of FAB Jazz, sort of "repainted" to look like Botcon Glyph (Bumblebee repaint).

Please forgive the green windows and lights

sorry but being completely blue is kinda boring. Not even the real Glyph was all blue like that - she had grey too.

Yeah, you're right. Any suggestions?

How about a Jazz in G1 colours, or with Alternators racing stripes
