The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread

A repaint only involves paint/colors.

Christ the attitude here is sickening.

The only attitude here that is in need of moderation is yours. Look at the tone and language you used in your post! You have a history of trying to provoke members and I called you on it (which now seems justified as you said I was trying to start 'crap' and that my attitude was 'sickening'). That said, if that was not your intent this time, then I apologize. See? That's how a mature adult handles a situation.

That said, a repaint is not the same thing as a retool. Powermaster Prime is a retool of Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus. Many different parts despite a similar/same transformation. The cab is different, parts of the legs, the head, etc. The Victorion helicopters are retools. Different heads and arms (along with a horrible paint scheme).

Any time a Transformer has new parts, even if it's just a new head with the same paint scheme, it's a retool (though a poor one, and were that the case here I'd probably agree with you over such a minor difference). Thrust is substantially different from all the other seekers including Ramjet. The base mold is the same, yes, but there's no way you can just call it a repaint.

I would love to get both this and Ramjet. But it's pay the mortgage and provide my kids with food or else buy two jets. If they were REAL jets, then maybe...

Um, perhaps the main body is repainted, and the head and wings are re-tooled?

Maybe just interpret the question as:

We would probably do well to try to interpret the intent of questions rather than promptly attack the literal wording people use.

Carry on and be angry, if you wish.

Yes the the Coneheads are the MP-11 mold that's been modified but unlike some of the MP cars that have slight remolds such as just new heads, the MP Conehead seekers have been heavily remolded. The remolds include a new fuselage, head, wings, and lower legs. That leaves just the torso, arms, hands, and upper legs unchanged.

The repaints I was referring to speculate about from the MP Conehead moulds are the repaints of the G1 or Classics seekers such as G2 Ramjet, Sandstorm, and Nacelle.

Actually the MP Conehead have retooled cockpit canopy too.

[elburrito]

On the repaint/retool speculations, a black seeker would he pretty darn cool. Also,



And



Or



Then there's Ronald McSeeker



It could get weird.

Yes, I consider that all part of the fusalage.

I fear it will be another insane price as it is currently listed on the Takara Tommy Mall at ¥15,984 which is approx $150 U.S.

I can get it for $100 CND. You guys are paying way too much.
