Hasbro should not be in charge of repaints...

Yeah, that's pretty retch-worthy.

When did E-Hobby start doing retail releases for Hasbro?

I dunno. I actually quite like it. Wasn't going to pick it up, but it looks nice so I might if it's in stores. I especially like how the headsculpt looks in those colors.

One too many colors.. the gray should have matched up with one of the OTHER colors on the figure, rather than apparently trying to make up for Jetfire's near-total white.

Treadbolt is a noname Micromaster anyway, so I won't feel bad about passing this guy up.

The brown on the arms and the legs is the only thing I don't like. The jet mode is nice, though.

Kinda like G1 Dirge's colors. I'm with RiD Scourge, I actually do kinda like it.

I'm glad I got this mold the first time from looking at these pics.

Doesn't interest me in the least... ugly looking.

Ew. Yeah I think I'm definitely just gonna stick it out and wait until I can afford Henkei Skyfire to get this mold.

Hmm... earlier photos had the brown parts in black. Wonder what made the change take place?

Yeah, I keep seeing Dirge or even Thundercracker in the colours. I won't be picking it up, but I've definitely seen worse...

Recently? Dreadwing n LOC Jazz spring to mind.

I do see dirge in there, but it's not the same plane and there are numerous repaints of the mold in seeker schemes, so i think i'll pass this up. Unless i have money to burn. Which i usually end up having...

Feel free to donate to the RnR New Car Fund, a newly set up non-charitable lack of trust whose goal is to replace my old rust-bucket who sadly passed to the great car park in the sky on Saturday.

Seriously, sorry bout the car. Still, at least it's the car...

Oh, and i read through the thirty two pages of you privacy policy, and to donate it seems all details must be filled in. Even safety codes! And i can't use paypal...

Official Hasbro stock photos in and out of packaging:

And it's "Tread Bolt", not "Treadbolt".

"Tread Bolt" ...

Which actually ADDS a smidge, just a smidge, to the suck factor.
