Interesting point: however.....

 

The fact that there is blue tracks proves what Im saying. Blue isnt the "official" colour for the car and demand for the blue tracks enabled us to get supplied with a blue tracks. The fact the flames are a sticker is neither here nor there. Its supplied and proves that the idea of G1 accurate toys is marketable.

 

The reason Hasbro gave for "thin yellow paint2 seems feasable, but others have suggested that it was also a smokescreen for not officially declaring "the fanboys had one" (the main designer is also meant to be a Tracks fan so perhaps he had a say too0.

 

Car manufacturers are not agaisnt the idea of their cars having non official paint jobs. Look at any collection of Hot wheels toys to see that.

 

The Smokescreen toy as Ive stated before, is still keeping with his chaarcter. He was a race car with Nnissan racing trim and sponsors, racing numbers etc. Now he is a Ssubraru with Subary racing colours, numbers, adverts etc.

 

Wheeljack is also a racing car...either giving him a G1 style colour scheme or a new racing scheme is the only way to go frankly.

 

As for Sunstreaker, well, Hasbro have been rumoured to be in discussion to release him as a limited edition with a US retailer..so if thats true, it kinda leaks lubricant over your argument, doesnt it?

What's the big deal, honestly? You knew there was going to be repaints of everyone. And he's not necessarily a decpepticon just because he's a repaint. Silverstreak was the first repaint and he wasn't a decep. Paint him if you dont like him. I think he looks pretty cool. Not exactly like G1 Wheeljack, but he still looks nice. If you don't like it, or "hate" it as some has professed, don't get it. Less troulbe for me to get one. Blaaaaaah

Yeah, no kidding.

the proto alt tracks was yellow and paint wasnt thin, this is a majorly flawed argument particularly when Swindle appeared on the scene, this was `score 1 for the fanboys`

 

I couldnt care less what colour it was really ;)

Slightly off topic but I found a transformed pic of getaway on TFU (but couldn't access the larger pic due to bandwidth limits) and it seems to really fit the bill as a custom of the mustang redeco with an alt grimlock head. Opinions?

Just my $0.02. Blue & white. Racing stripes. G1. Kinda similar transformation. Realistic cars only ruling out F1 racers.

 

This would've been a much better Mirage, or at least as close as we might get. The Shockwave idea would've been good too. I still think Tracks' recolor should've been Wheeljack.

 

Oh well. No need to add to the Starscreaming otherwise. Suffice to say, I'm gonna pass.

whatsamatter with you guys? didn't u ever see a Shelby Mustang before? for my money i think it is a good look 4 him, but the sword should be re done to form his wings :tflaugh

Dear Lord MudHammer,

 

I am very sorry. I did not mean to flame you. I feel we could be special friends but do not agree with your use of the beast wars dvd collection as coasters for your g2 figure collection. We don't like star wars anymore and we don't like green eggs and ham. Please go back to the days of collecting lord of the rings kubricks and G1 PVC's.

 

Sincerely, your daddy in love. Lord MadHammer sir, esquire

Leave me alone, daddy! You never loved me! Not in that special way that I always used to like so much. Now it's all about the fast cars and the hot women. Where's the love for me? For ME?????

Very busy aren't we mister MudPacker. "I'm checking a flight plan' sob sob. I knew this whoopin' would hurt and you couldn't wait to get back on and post. We'll now it's time for Daddy to do a drive by on sonny LA STYLE BOOOYYEEEE!! WESTUP!!!

Seriously though, dude, doesn't this wheeljack look like a kitbash? I know you said you wanted one and that the mustang would be best but i think the robot mode was much better suited for grimlock. The whole "wheeljack head" thing seems a bit thrown on as an afterthought.
