Maybe he doesn't fit in on Earth, but on some other planet, or in the 1980's Earth? Perhaps...
I really do like Blades colors. Blinding rotor blades, and a nice dark blue for the rest.
I think Streetwise has my favorite color scheme in the G2 P-bots. Can't wait to see him again.

If Groove was a Junkion, maybe orange would indeed fit him........yeah, not on Earth, orange does fit......On the mark TT!

And the day-glow colors.... uy.
Apparently, by Generation 2, the Autobots had completely given up on that "Robots in Disguise" concept. As if to completely defy the concept of anonymity, most of these guys have THEIR NAMES emblazoned on their alt modes, robot mode, or both. Did Hasbro think kids were going to constantly forget the names of their toys? Or maybe it's about the 90's being a time of shameless and unironic self-promotion for everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few online outlets like BBTS didn't jump on the chance to put out some exclusive "G2" sets of the current Combiner Wars offerings, a la the G2 Bruticus from FoC Bruticus a few years ago. Hasbro, make it so!

I thought about that too. Maybe he/she doesn't know it can collapse back, or maybe she/he thought it was a kickstand!

Wait until you see Hot Spot.
I really like this coloring, even if he's got pink. Business up front party in the back?
Can't wait to see the combined. These images are something some of us have waited for for a long time!

It's cool to see them in this detail, and I'm certainly clicking and viewing and taking them in. That said, after all this time I'm not sure what else there is to say about them that hasn't already been said outside of things like holy crap, First Aid would have been another GPS bot.RhA wrote:I'm suprised this doesn't get more attention on the board.

I think it would be printing money, especially if they decided to do a platinum or re-issue of the originals with the club or something. It would be amazing if they did something.
I actually think Hot Spot doesn't look horrible. From brief odd pictures we'd barely seen around I thought it would be worse. I don't hate it, but it is G2 odd for sure.

At least this is a total redeco. Operation: Combination Fire Chief still had parts cast in the original light blue of G1 Hot Spot:
The orange and red do go together, but the teal chest sticks out like a sore thumb. Worse, there are no other part cast or painted in the same color to offset it. But that's G2 for you

G2 combiners would be printing money if they were CW or original reissues. For the life of me I don't know why they haven't tried reissues yet. Seriously, IMAGINE people clamoring over an official release of the real G2 Menasor and Defensor.Tigertrack wrote:I think it would be printing money, especially if they decided to do a platinum or re-issue of the originals with the club or something.

That's not fair, though they were weird colors, it was a good way to get the combiners you may have missed out on years earlier
