Cool
Even though it says Elita-One version?

Blur just looks like he has a darker, metallic blue. Not a big change there.
Jazz shmazz, that's so TFA Stepper/Ricochete. Though certainly better than the stupid bayformer silver repaint we got. I'm sick and tired of sports car silver just because Bay used it for Jazz, Sideswipe, Sideways, and so on. :p
Blackarachnia in Elita-One colors (though it does look like that weird BotCon Arcee too just due to being pink), not one of the first idea's I'd expect.

Jazz looks spiffy in dark gray. Pink Arachnia not so much.

The hue of Jazz's paint needs to be more pure black, less grey.
I like the rest, except Blurr is seeing very little change that I could tell.
And honestly, who did not see the recolors of Animated Arcee coming. We know HASBRO loves them (just look at all the E-Arcee repaints), and Takara does not mind them either, ala Superlink Chromia, and Superlink Elita One (from Thunderblast)... Wow I think I was confusing myself there between the two companies, but the point is, when they make a female toy, they repaint it (Movie 1 Arcee v.1).

Color scheme, SEGA game, Blurr's speed, it can be seen from a mile away.
Chromia and Blackarachnia both look very nice, will probably buy them if they are not exclusives. (They look AWESOME!)

you got a good point on blurr, but if they are gonna call him the "super sonic" edition, he should be gold insted of blue. as far as black arachnia is concerned, i guess thats the closest we will see of her former elita-1 self, though i wish takara would make a new mold of pre-technorganic elita

Maybe calling him Sonic Blurr would be a dead give-away and if he was colored gold it would lost the Sonic reference because there are lots of golden Transformers, usually as Japaneses exclusives.

From the Masterpiece Line: Black Convoy, Grimlock, Megatron, Thundercracker, and Skywarp.
Also there's G1 Soundwave in addition to Animated Soundwave.
However these are referred to as Destron, and Cybertron instead of Decepticon and Autobot used for the Animated figures.

Still, Midnight Jazz sounds by far the coolest repaint name since ages.

Curse you and your cool exclusive redecoes!

But its not a transformer.
Its an album of soulful sounds for lovers.
As a result. In my head. This Jazz will be voiced by Barry White.

...not that a Devcon repaint of a Blurr figure is in any way overdue or anything.

I didn't even notice that. He's even got the red shoes. That is totally awsome, and if Hasbro released it(I'm not getting my hope up), I'd probably go for it based on that fact. Not having the mold also helps.

Hasbro probably isn't going to release it, they've already got one in the making called Vortex Blurr.

That sounds like an awesome combination.

Scatman was still the best. Rest in Peace man.
No, I think I can skip the two and get the two pretty easily.
