Just the other day I got this one, dirt cheap but missing weapons:

and now I just read about this one.

And now I hear they've making the third one Cybertron Hardtop, with a Planet X key instead of Earth this time.

On top of those three they're repainting Cybertron Clocker, and Energon Skyblast and Strongarm, and all of them have been spotted here in Singapore. Skyblast is damned rare though. And for some reason Clocker's box art shows his cyber planet key, but the lighting they took its pic with makes it completely see-through so you can make out the code on the other side.

On the subject of repaints, they've already started repainting the movie toys as well - Ratchet, Starscream and Jazz all have G1 color schemes now, and I hear Brawl is next. I'm guessing that the next step would be to repaint movie TFs into different characters altogether, like:

Bumblebee into G1 Smokescreen
OP into Nemesis Prime
Megatron into Galvatron, in purple and gold

On a semi-related note, three of the Classics Minicons (from three different teams) have been given the movie repaint treatment. Sadly these are Japan-exclusive.

So there's been an incredible number of Cybertron repaints added to the movie line, but what caught my eye today at the weekend flea market was Jetstorm and Wingblade, repaints of Dreadrock/Jetfire and Sonic Bomber/WingSaber. Without a proper Galaxy Convoy/Cybertron OP to combine with, too.

Do they have a surplus of light grey resin at Hasbro?

EDIT: Upon hindsight, didn't airplanes looking like those two appear in the movie? *drags out dvd*

EDIT 2: Yep, they did. Called up to handle Scorponok's attack on Lennox and the village. And in almost similar colors. Guess they got something right.
