hm, seriously, i think the chrome treatment only work for Henkei Prime and Megatron.... the one on Grimlock and Starscream looks "cheap" (no offence). for once, Hasbro's scheme is the better one (for Classics Bbee, SScream and Grimlock) smile.gif

yupe, Wingblade can definitely combine with GC01.. whether the colours match or not, remain to be seen smile.gif

WAHhhh cry.gif everybody's going.... if only my Skywarp can fly me across the SEA to meet u guys sad.gif sad

hm, Takara Premium OP looks GOOD.... will he have chrome parts? or is the chrome effect in the pic a trick of the light? hmm.gif

btw, a member of TFW2005 posted the robot mode pic of TFTM Allspark Wingblade, personally, i dont like the subdued green and "milky" beige colour, compared to the high contrast colouring of WingSaber/Sonic Convoy:

True, like there examples:-
Hound and Swindle Jeep mould differences:- tyres (smaller tires, large offroad tires), paint work (Hound green, Swindle yellow), head, number plate
Mirage & Hot rodimus: number plate ("Mirage" and "too hot"), paintwork (blue with racing stripes, red with flames), head
Shockwave and Jazz: Number plate, Shockwave left arm has a blaster, head, color, different bodykit (shockwave has mazdaspeed bodykit, jazz stock car i think)
Grimlock and Wheeljack: number plate, head, paintjob( silver vs white with blue racing stripes)

repaint means they use the same old mould and just change the color. BB08 and cliffjumper is a very good example. Recon barricade and police barricade, movie leader OP and NWOP are among the other examples. But Blt and Alt they change enough items to make them unique from one another.

hmm if that is the revised definition for 'repaint'.... then id have to revised my "buying terms" tongue.gif
1. No repaints unless the original is no more in production/impossible to get.
2. No remold if the only thing that changes is the head (i.e. transformation scheme is the same)

for no.2, unless theres significant mold change (like BT Laserwave compared to Meister), then no buy wink.gif

actually my number One collecting rule"
"buy only TFs that appear in TV series/Movies" icon_rolleyes.gif

in a way, can avoid repaints and remolds if follow that rule.... part of the reason why i dont have a single Classics/Henkeis in my collection (though they are great molds)

Attack of the Protoform (seriously this one reminds me of Airazor protoform in Beast Wars, before Rhinox reformatted her)

yupe, we buy what we like peeps wink.gif

i do want to get Classics but theres so many of them, probably gonna get Henkei OP and Megs as representatives, hehe (macam ADUN pulak) tongue.gif

besides, im relying on the Masterpiece series to represent G1.... (not all though, cos UM never appeared in his inner bot mode in the TV series) smile.gif

but i think i'll be tergugat later, cos the coming Universe series looks good drool.gif

Not to say troublesome but maybe Takara wasn't confident that consumers are willing to spend RM600+ on a MP02 with trailer back then(now surely can sell). When they saw Pat Lee's comics, even more convinced that we wouldn't mind it being a straight repaint so here we have it, naked Magnus biggrin.gif

actually i kinda like the pure white scheme of MP UM, smile.gif problem is, he is not so price/cost justified for a straight un-remolded repaint sad.gif

i wonder if there is a good UM out there, with a transforming cab as the robot, and a trailer that can be his super mode.... NOPE, R.i.D one is not my cup of tea wink.gif
