Saw Cybertron Skywarp - (Thundercracker repaint) at Target yesterday and for the first time, I passed on a Cybertron figure.

 

TERRIBLE repaint - looks terrible.  :tdown The purple is the wrong color - looks way too unrealistic.  :wtf

 

Anyone else have opinions about it?

YEA, that is kind of a stretch.

Do any of the white molded peices look like they can be taken off? Held by a screw or anything?

 

I know how to die plastic in black, so I was thinking of doing so with him.

(used to be bright orange, its a reciever to a RC car)

depends on which parts you mean.  his wings are all one piece. 

 

my thoughts - he gets a thumbs up, but not a rave.  He'd have done better in Thunderblast's purple, and perhaps this color swap - black where the purple is, and TB's purple where the white is.  or even just swap the white for black.

I saw one yesterday and I kind of liked it. Intrigued me more than the original, at least.

I kind of thought he would be black with purple accents, but I guess he'd still look too much like Thundercracker. Oh well. Thundercracker should have been more blue anyway.

pics?

I wasn't too impressed with him either.

 

I generally like "Skywarps" but I think I prefer a black with purple highlights color scheme to a robot who's indigo colored.

I think the gray and purple main color change-ups look good and feel a bit fresh. We got black with purple reissue Skywarp, black with purple A.Skywarp, black with purple U.Skywarp, black with purple LOC Skywarp and perhaps black with purple Classics Skywarp and maybe even black with purple Movie Skywarp coming down the pipe.

 

If nothing else, I think the predominantly purple color scheme makes him look great as a generic Decepticon trooper a la the G1 toon background seekers and the HOC troop builder set.
