Ebay has Auctions for Movie Ratchet and Starscream Repaints.

Woohoo! Man, I sure hope it's real that way I can have another set of Seekers. As long as it has the Thundercracker head it's good to go. Ratchet/Red Alert is pretty cool too.

Ratchet is awesome!!!

Crap.. Someone already posted the story before you at 8:55

*EDIT*

I locked the other thread and added Bass X0's name to the credit on the news.

Wow. I really really like starscream. It seems that his head had been painted black with red eyes as it should be.

screamer looks fantastic, rachet is a big improvement, but why are there naked figures linked on a TOY AUCTION?

I think I will buy those over their movie-accurate versions.

I don't know about any of you and what you think of these repaints, but i can tell you either that came from the factory and is a test of the G-1 colors or that person who repainted them is completely the best forger paint artist i have ever seen, the bots are cast in white or off white plastic and the colors and markings are professional machine prints.. This could be a special release from HASBRO and may be a mass produced item to coincide with the G-1 fans and their support of the movie, time will tell.. The message seems appropriate as to not get anyone's hopes up if they decided not to.. But man those images look really really professional and not fan made, atleast not any i have ever seen before..

Is someone gonna mirror those images so they can be rereferenced if the auction gets completed too soon? I noticed it on the locked thread.. they should be put here too, just in case..

No matter how they dress it up its still CRAP!

The new color scheme is quite superior to the old one.

These Look pretty good. I'm even tempted to buy Starscream.


The recolors look factory done. I truly hope they release these along side the movie colored ones. Kind of like a Collectors Edition type deal.


I mirrored the images, for your viewing pleasure:
Starscream

Ratchet

I wonder if these could turn out to be an exclusive 2-pack?

It would certainly be an interesting 2 pack.

Hopefully with better distribution, than the Cybertron: Vector Prime, Starscream, 2 pack.

Wish the guy showed robot modes of both. Still would buy them.

It's a good job Starscream isn't coloured like this in the movie, he'd look daft.

That's a really nice Ratchet. I wish they would release this version too...

The SS looks decent too. Shame we know what the bot mode looks like isn't it?

FYI, the links in the news thread are now non-active.

Thanks to Overcracker for the mirrored images.

Good looking alts as usual, but the robot modes are still ugly as hell.

Don't Mention it, my pleasure.

Auctions have been removed from all the sites due to inappropriate content linked to this auction.

Sorry D.

i wonder if this has anything to do with the futbaba board... probably just a coincidence.

I'll keep a look out for these figures popping back up!

Seeing as how I have no idea what the f-----a thing is...I can't help you out.

Somebody mentioned he sold like 10 of them...you'd think it might pop up again.

I don't mind the repaints. The Starscream looks kinda cartoony now which should make the hardcore G1 group happier (eh - what am I thinking? Monkeyscream will NEVER make the G1 group happy, no matter what color he is). I'll save MY final opinion until I see a view of the head sculpt.

If I had to have a nitpicky issue... I wish the "AMBULANCE" on Ratchet's hood was "mirrored" as it is on most ambulances -at least the ones I see around here.

I like them very much, they are actually better paintjobs then the originals, in fact if Ratchet looked like that in the movie it would be alot better, though not very realistic considering Puke green now symbolizes help.. but I guess if your seeing green puke then you should have some help..especially if its flying past you at great speeds..

His seller ID is moneygod108

Now thats how they should look.

Thanks, found him.

I'm guessing store exclusives, and also, that Skywarp is mad about being snubbbed like this.

I like this traditional coloring on Ratchet better, simply because I've yet to see a green ambulance. Agree with Darksong on the "Ambulance" on his front, but I'm willing to let it slide. Hopefully the color sceme will translate nicely into robot mode.

Starscream, on the other hand? I'll have to see how the 'bot mode turns out nd, especially, which head he uses. Looks like he got the worst of both worlds, though... If they'd used the Classics or Energon Starscream mold, and colored it to resemble Movie Starscream's jet mode, I'd like it a lot more.

Ratchet could have been released as a different movieverse character... say, First Aid, maybe? But Starscream... That's definitely a half-and-half Starscream.

I had a dream and in it was a G1 Ratchet repaint. Maybe I got powers now?

I really like both of these! Would love to see bot mode pics though. I agree with the majority that these will likely be store exclusives.

neat!

I am not too thrilled with the robot designs, so a change in color doesn't do much for me. I guess it's nice that they consider a more traditional color scheme.

I like the paint job on Starscream, but this is still the monkeyscream mold, so I'm sure it wil still look ugly in bot mode. :/

But Ratchet, ah, he is pure love! =) If I HAD to complain about something, I would say that I hope the "cage" parts and other parts that are black on green Ratchet end up black on this repaint Ratchet, instead of gray. Gray on gray is a bit boring. I'd still buy it, though. Very cool.

These look sooooooooooooooo much better. I have to see the robot mode though.

Yea I do like these 2, especially the more traditional STarscream look. I wonder if they are going to be released in the Movie Toyline as the usual 1 repaint per figure kind of thing they usually do. Starscream already has a remold as Thundercracker though, but then again the Titanium Thundercracker mold has been used 3 times so who knows!

screamer kind of looks like energon screamer. but looking good so far.

I got the seller to post some more pics. FEAST YOUR EYES

ratchet

Notice the strange insignias... the ratchet one makes more sense (autobot face in a cross), but maybe the starscream one is like a seekers seal???

who knows

Dude, that's Not starscream's head!!! It's thundercrackers head on a starscream body.. Ohh the Horror!!!!
http://www.seibertron.com/toys/fullsize ... 1&image=76

they need the original head on there then it would be worth the price.. must be a test like I was saying.. straight otta the factory, or atleast I hope so, then there would be hope for a release..

I do like the ratchet, much better..

I like the Ratchet a lot too, although I like the colours of the original, too. I think they'll use that head on Starscream to fit in with the more G1-esque appearance.

I want those now. I hope they give Screamer a grey face though then it will be perfect. Ratchet is by far the coolest.

Thanks for doing that Diablien.

Seeing the robot modes is really nice...

The Ratchet as 'First Aid' would work, but I'll bet you it's Red Alert...even though a Barricade repaint would seem better as him.

I like the Starscream, although the new head definitely looks strange with these colors, in my opinion.

Nice looking jet mode. Still awful looking robots...

the original rounded head just works better for the design, in those classic colors..

But you know if they'd left the original head people would be saying, "They gave him G1 colours, why not use the more G1-esque head from Thundercracker!".

And if Hasbro ever read this they'd believe that Transfans truly are never satisfied, which might stop them doing stuff like this at all.

Well, if they don't know that transfans, and fandoms in particular, are never satisfied they've been living under a rock for as long as they have been a toy company.

Good point.

Ratchet looks awesome! Even the head is painted like the Marvel comics run. Neat. Although I do admit to likeing the green Ratchet
