Besides, six of G1s better characters were all repaints -
- Three Seekers (Screamers, Crackers, Warpy)
- Three Datsuns (Silvo, Smokey, Police-guy)

They say it's to make up for the high production costs of Hothead.

If I had the money and repaints like this one were more widely available, I for one would gladly pick one up. Just as I feel the green/tan deco was better suited for G1 Scorponok, the Night Rider deco is better suited for Mindwipe.

This too is true.

I don't suppose this implies HeadRobots knows anything about an upcoming reissue of Scorpinok and Black Zarak, does it? BZ would be an ideal candidate for reissue, given the state of originals in the aftermarket. They made reissue God Ginrai's gray darker so it wouldn't yellow like PM Op's, so making some sturdy gold plastic can't be too hard, right?

You're joking right? You certainly didn't buy that AFA graded Black Zarak only to open it. From a business perspective alone, you'd lose at least $1000 in value upon opening him. But hey? I should not be one to judge. It's your Black Zarak. Do with it what you like.
IMO, a carded Night Rider Cobra would look great next to a boxed Black Zarak. The artwork on Night Rider's card is fantastic.

I'd rather see them cover their costs by releasing limited runs of different colours than making thousands of one that they can't hope to get rid of.
