In the picture, you can see rather surprising and detailed repaints of the following:
Lazerback
Ripclaw
Skystalker
Grimwing
and a silhouette of Legends Class Abominus. (Most likely will be G1 in it's color scheme. TakaraTomy is notorious for their anime color faithfulness.)

What is this assortment of atrocity? Grimwing looks kind of cool, but the others look like vomit. More reasons to skip this terrible line.

I'm confused about this part. Are you saying Lazerback in Ripclaw's colors = Ser-Ket? If so, that's not what Ser-Ket looks like.

OK, I guess I'm wrong. I wasn't sure.

Lazerback -> Gaidora
Ripclaw -> Bakudora
Grimwing -> Budora
Skystalker-> Judora
Abominus -> Jaki Gattai (Evil Demon Combination) Gorardora (first "a" is long)
I'll be sticking with Hasbro versions for this.

Bakudōra looks colored like BotCon Deathsaurus.
Budōra looks like a fire demon.
Judōra looks like an energy creature.
And Gorādora... is silhouetted. The others still look awesome.

What's with you, man? They all looks like elemental beasts (Earth, water, fire, and lightning) and that's awesome.PrymeStriker wrote::BANG_HEAD:

I hate to say this, but it almost sounds like you just won't accept these molds in any color scheme that's not done by Hasbro.

I was close, I'm bad with Japanese grammar when it comes to compound words And why the long "o" for all Preds but Abonimus?

If they're Oni, where are their horns?

Lazerback's mold has six appendaging sticking up from the side of its beast mode head that could pass for horns.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:If they're Oni, where are their horns?
Ripclaw's mold has a single horn-like spike on the beast mode head.
Skystalker's mold has two obvious horns on its beast mode head.
Grimwing's mold has to little horn-like bits sticking out from the back of its berast mode head.
So... I guess we're good.

Cool for you. They look like firewood to me.

So, did you purposely ignore me saying that Grimwing looks kind of cool?

Cool for you. They look like piles of vomit to me.

Mostly their color schemes. On Grimwing's repaint it works.
Ripclaw's repaint looks like a blend of water and lava creating obsidian. Normally, this would be cool. The gears are stuck on cobwebs with this thing; they don't attract me at all.
Skystalker is already a bad mold (in robot mode at least). Giving him Beast Hunters Bumblebee's paint job does not make it any better.
Lazerback w/ Hasbro Ripclaw's color scheme. I already initially hated Ripclaw's deco. I achieved the figure and got used to it, but still didn't look "great." Slapping it onto another figure is supposed to make a difference?

It's basically botCon Deathsaurus colors. Indigo blue body, blood red wings, black as a secondary color...PrymeStriker wrote:Ripclaw's repaint looks like a blend of water and lava creating obsidian.

It's also evocative of Devilman.
I see a mixture of yellow, purple/dark blue, beige gold, and silver in there. Hardly a typical "Bumblebee paint job".PrymeStriker wrote:Skystalker is already a bad mold (in robot mode at least). Giving him Beast Hunters Bumblebee's paint job does not make it any better.
I still don't see what's wrong with Ripclaw's colors. It's perfectly evocative of magic and mysticism without looking boring, while being bright and colorful and full of life and personality. Gaidora's colors are even darker and shinier, and makes a much greater use of black than Ripclaw did (if at all).PrymeStriker wrote:Lazerback w/ Hasbro Ripclaw's color scheme.

I rather like the Grimwing repaint, both because I'm a sucker for red-and-black decos and he kinda reminds me of BW Megatron now.

Good, I thought I was the only one.

Or Esmeryl. Completely forgot about her.

Kay, so, now that I know it's a color scheme that belongs to another, it's supposed to be cool and I should love it?

I see black, yellow, and silver. The picture's of low quality anyway, so it seems like S3 Prime Bumblebee's color scheme.
Besides, Beast Hunters Bumblebee's color scheme isn't particularly a typical "Bumblebee paint job" itself, so what are you referring to?
I still don't see what's wrong with Ripclaw's colors. It's perfectly evocative of magic and mysticism without looking boring, while being bright and colorful and full of life and personality.
Or it's a perfectly evocative gumball machine.
