The recolor makes me think of Generation 2 where some major Optimus figures there got more black to their color palette (the unchanged 1984 cab figure getting a new black trailer and then Laser Prime) something else funny to me is the Cybertron toyline also released a recolor of Armada's smaller non-combining Optimus with this figures palette

I think the biggest issue with the black/charcoal is that it's used as the accent color, rather than the main focus. Since black doesn't reflect any light into our eyes, it, by nature, takes away from the mold's detail and forces you to focus your eyes elsewhere. It's why the Nemesis color palette works so well: the teal, grey and red bits stand out better because they're on a black canvas. And hell, Master Galvatron does the secondary black better because of the monochrome color scheme combined with knowing what details to be picked out with red, preventing your eyes from blurring everything together. Tl;dr it's not a bad color scheme in theory, but they really should have just made a Nemesis Galaxy Prime.

Meanwhile...this is just my opinion, but it absolutely sucks that this didn't get the Black Convoy treatment...whether as an Autobot clone for whatever purposes (like MP1B being an "Eldedroid" or Big Black Convoy being for base defense) or a Decepticon warrior (like literally any other Black Convoy).

I jave and love both versions of this mold, but the repaint spends his time combined with a silver and black KO of the shuttle from Brave of the Sun Fighbird that I modified a bit, pruning the inside of the shoulderrs to engage with the sockets for Ligerjack and adding a couple of Kotobukia ball joints inside the leg super parts to Galaxy Coonvoy's clips engage. It's a little janky and needs a rubber band across the back to hold the shouldrs and chest on since there's no matvhing catches there, but it most definitely works, and the big wing-chest of Fighbird even matches well with Convoy's super mode wings on the mack, while the numerous blue stickers brought out the little splashes on the knees - or at least did before the syickyu of the ultra-cheap KO stickers dried out and they all fell off and flutered down behgind the toy shelf. I' daddes some red and gold poaint on it too, but never did get around to replacing the blue yet.

I think the latter for the current toyline is just a bad result of Hasbro/Takara wanting to bring back characters from every era of the franchise but knowing their yearly budget can't squeeze out original molds for everyone. When it came to WFC which was G1-centric it was like not surprising at all who was getting recolored from who.

@@JDRider02 Exactly. The design team's ambitions are not being matched by the budgets they're given by Hasbro's top brass. Sure, the current team is a bunch of wonderworkers, but there's only so far they can go before someone cracks under the pressure like Aaron Archer did. What I think we need are more "composite" takes on characters like Legacy Bulkhead, Evolution Shadow Striker, or United Chromia. That means while we lose some media accuracy, it means we get to see the design team flex their creative muscles in finding ways to patch different character designs together into something cool (like Bulkhead) while also making something new. Like, imagine a new toy of Drift that has the IDW robot mode, AOE alt-mode, and RID 2015 head- that's my ideal Generations Drift, and it can be retooled into a pure comic Drift or Deadlock depending on which direction you want to go in.

The nice thing is that this mold sells for cheaper on the secondary market, giving more people a chance to buy it either as a primary figure or as repair fodder for parts I nabbed my initial one for like, 5 bucks at a thrift store then bought an entire second figure for the missing supermode pieces for around $30 because its head looked like it had been chewed on. Unfortunately, both are suffering from spring joint failures, with the core robot's hip joints being super loose and impossible to fix and the gear for supermode wing section having all but turned to dust. Insult to injury is that I destroyed the second copy trying to perform a head swap because it has so many one way pins.

"Buy this deco because you want it specifically, not because you're settling" Probably the most important thing to take away from this video, and good advice for collecting in general. Even if your ideal version of a figure costs more to get than an alternative, I'd rather spend the extra money on it than cheap out on a version I'll grow to regret buying down the line. Good to keep in mind for current releases, too; if you don't see yourself being completely satisfied with an upcoming figure, don't drop the cash on it just to have a version of that character. Chances are there'll be a redeco/retool down the line that better fits your needs (hello, 86 Springer)

This feels like someone complaining about a bad shiny Pokemon. Not a complaint, just a funny observation. By the way, have you got your hands on the Star Raiders? I’ve just found them for the first time at my local Walmart and grabbed Roadpig and Lockdown (left Cannonball and Filch). Roadpig is as lovely as his fellow previously released Lasercycle, and Lockdown is okay, though I fee would have been better served by an Animated inspired head opposed to a Bayverse head. Just would have worked better with the whole animated limb swapping thing the figure can do (also if new moulding was available, a longer hood/bonnet would have been greatly appreciated)

Rodimus expectedly taking MONTHS), I may leave mine in default colors, but I'm still personally enamored by this deco and Animated Elite Guard's. Especially if I headcanon this Galaxy Upgrade as Nemesis being absorbed into Optimus, acknowledging his dark side as part of him.

I think aside from adding the small paint details to help add life to it, it could also really benefit from a different red.

17:45 So what you're saying is, this video is a redeco of your Reveal The Shield Optimus video? On the subject of redecos, with my somewhat limited funds, I don't tend to buy them if it's a mould I already own. If there's a mould I want with multiple decos available, I'll just pick the one I like best. However, there is one exception in my collection - Nucleous. I already had Magneous before, and Nucleous is that same mould - but I kept playing with Magneous, and decided the mould was so nice I had to buy it twice. Heck, I'm planning to do so again with Calcitron in the Star Raiders 3-pack. And at that point, I might as well just go the full hog and get Geocron as well despite already owning Bouldercrash, because that mould was pretty fun too. ...Seriously, y'all better not be sleeping on the Infernac Universe set. They're some of my favourite toys in Legacy, and I'm not even kidding.

I actually remember that redecco being on shelves. The original was already peak, and made this an immediate pass as the colors were dull, muted, and it was essentially just a repack of the same toy. Not that Cybertron didn't get some fun ones along the way that were more than just a color swap. Dark Crumplezone was amazing and Runamuck, Blur, Buzzsaw, and long Rack were just fun novelty figures. I absolutely love this new rea of retools. While some won't do much more than color swap/change the head some go above and beyond altering the figure. A lot of the Amazon exclusives from last year were pretty amazing, and really looking forward to the Bludgeon/Ruckus set soon to be released which is significantly better than the Breakdown/Windsweeper.
