So...

Since they're repaints...

 

How does this affect their colors? Evil Prime isn't red? Good Megatron isn't grey? (LAME)

 

Interesting idea... I'm just curious to the end result... and glad that (based on the descriptions) I'm not going to feel bad about not getting them. :tfevil

Don't be so sure about the paint schemes, we did not draw some line in the sand and say "this guy is this color so this guy has to be that color"... We did what was best for each character, looked at how they all looked as a set and tweaked from there. In a nutshell, when we start releasing pictures, from seeing the first, then second, then third one, there will not be some formula that will map out how each one looks after that, they all have a unique look yet tie together...You might be surprised ;)

Looks like Classics molds..?

Sooo... Prime. Grimlock, Jazz, Bumblebee, Starscream and Razorclaw?

Looks like Classics molds..?

 

Not all of them. Prime for sure. I'm guessing the one to the right is Jazz which would be a Cybertron mold and the one the left is probably Grimlock, but I don't recognize the mold. Sounds like Starscream is an Armada figure though I'm not sure which one would fit him, doubt it's the original. Could by Energon Starscream and one of the animal minicons. It'd be hard for Goldbug to be anything but Classics BB with a new head.

 

Sounds like a fun set, too bad it's out of my price range for this time of year.

I'm hoping Razorclaw is a repaint of the cat minicon in the G1 Predacon leader's colors.

yawn this idea is so... boring. besides a minicon? god those things are annoyng :tfmad

Conceptual pictures be damned, I'm willing to bet these will be movie molds.

 

And let me be the first to say it: "mirror universe" is probably the most tired, lazy idea ever. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see it executed.

might be interesting I hope they do a proper new colour scheme for the autobots and not just nemesis everything

From what Pete wrote above they'll be unique but tied together. Not really sure what that's supposed to mean, but doesn't sound like the whole Nemesis Prime/Nemesis Breaker/Nemesis Nitro Convoy thing we're used to. Sure, we've seen evil Prime's and whatnot before, but never the entire factions, should be pretty cool.
