New head and in blue, and she'd be a good pre-earth Tracks.

Another one with the 'little hat' aesthetic.

Legacy Marvel Comics Hot Rod? Legacy Sunbow Targetmaster Hot Rod? I would say that they'd never give us such very similar repaints, but then they did just give us plucked chicken Dinobot, so who even knows with Hasbro any more..? |

The pink isn't great. I'd go some toyhax labels to put over the windows, but I'm absolutely having that one.

It's fine in the places it should be, windows & shoulders, but the amount flowing out into the shoulders is just wrong. |

Yeah, I was wondering what was off about it, and I think it's that. That and it's not a great-looking mold anyway. An easy pass for me, this one. Until they release an up-scaled Fortress Maximus and repaint it as Brave Maximus, that is. |

I'm trying to work out *WHY* there's pink in the shoulders I get they want the missiles pink, but they manage to make Laser Op's missiles blue without contaminating the shoulders as they're set in a grey surround: I'm pretty sure the surround is moulded, not painted, as it's generally hard to paint clear plastic and if they'd done it for Op why not Scourge? So this is either a conscious choice to make that bit pink or possibly a forced bit of remoulding? |

Boy they borked that up? The reprolabels set required to fix it will be extensive and expensive.

I sort of like it, but I like it as a colourful black Optimus, its not giving off any Scourge vibes.

That's my problem with it.
It's fine as just another a generic Nemesis Prime. But it's supposed to be Scourge, and the two aren't really interchangeable.

Override into Pointblank? |

Post by Philip Ayres on May 21, 2022 19:37:05 GMT
And while we're here.... the rumours currently say Velocitron Blurr is a SS86 repaint. Surely Pointblank would be more suitable? |

Definitely something in that.

So this is either a conscious choice to make that bit pink or possibly a forced bit of remoulding? On the call tonight I spotted something that indicates the surround *IS* painted on Laser Op. In robot mode look at the wheel on the front of the shoulder and follow up to the bumper. In the bumper is a mushroom peg from the surround which hasn't been properly painted and that is clear blue. So why not paint it on Scourge? |
