G2 Combaticons camo is pure genius. Why care about blending in an environment, when you can make the eyes of whoever looks in their general direction BLEED?
Many Transformers repaints manage to be decent. Then there are the repaints that are worthy in heir own right or even manage to be better than the original. Favorites for me include Cybertron Galvatron, Siege Soundblaster SG-EX, Universe Toxitron, Robots in Disguise Scourge, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, Shattered Glass Jetfire, Titan Black Zarak, Armada Powerlinx Jetfire, Armada Optimus Prime final colors animated version, Energon Tidal Wave before his energy scarring, Energon Demolisher, Generations Thundercracker, Generations Skywarp, Generations Hotlink, Deluxe Class Breakaway, Energon Omega Sentinel, Universe Landquake, black and green G2 Sideswipe, and Animated Starscream clones.
I surmise they fail at color theory, too many primaries or too analogous or hues and shades are off, but moreso unattractive arrangement of colored parts.
Shining Ultra Magnus is actually one of Optimus Prime's alternate color schemes in DreamMix TV World Fighters (minus the armor, obviously). Yes, I am a nerd that recognizes stuff like that.
Tidal Wave's second color scheme in Armada is conceptually garish. Yet, it manages to fit Tidal Wave well. If anything, I remember his original overly purple color scheme the least.
if you think Hong kong police cars are ugly, imagine a transformer turning into an irish Gardai Car (Gardai is the irish law enforcement) they too have neon yellow/blue decals over a white car, but depending on the car, the yellow blue can be as little as a stripe along the side, to as much as the entire side of the Slagging car! I've seen some where the only uncovered bit is the roof! Imagine that as a transformer, it'd probably glow in the dark
I actually don't mind how G2 Swindle looks. Something about the orangish-red and the purple camo on him kinda strikes me a little charming, even if it is garish. To me, a G2 figure I would say is worst is Slingshot/Quickslinger. Not taking into the account that the original G2 figure is a ticking time-bomb due to GPS, but I never liked how much he stuck out amongst the other Aerialbots. With the others, there's that uniform color scheme of blue, red, silver, grey, white all around them. And then Slingshot comes decides he wants to be the one to stick out and it just looks ugly with all the gold across him.
Honestly, the G2 Combaticons would've done better to just go with dazzle camouflage. It would still have been ugly, but it would've made sense. It's been noted that the Marvel Comics adaptation of the 86 movie did use yellow light for that Matrix glow scene... but seeing as Japan never _got_ that comic, I can't imagine that's what Takara was going for with Shining Magnus.
Piss Magnus is yellow because that's how the "shining" scene was colored in Marvel's adaptation of the movie. I have the Newage version of the guy and it glows in the dark, which makes it cool (IMO) and the transparent actually doesn't feel too bad.
Well Tj, having 2 kids pf my own now i can assure you that baby vomit tends to be white, however other digestive discharges do come out that particular shade of green
I own the year of the goat MP Soundwave. I can get the issues with the colour scheme but overall I’m happy to own him. It was by far the cheapest way at the time to get an MP Soundwave complete with the all the cassettes without having to pay a crap ton on the second hand market.
Your #2 pick is one of my most-wanted Transformers toys. I see where you're coming from but I just adore that militaristic color scheme for a jet transformer, especially with the USAF emblems on the wings.
They certainly did, which was odd: charge almost MP level money for a reissue of a G2 figure (which was the RiD01 revamp of the Car Robots retooling), alongside a reissue of an actual Masterpiece (with the same color scheme).
I'm surprised nothing from the Universe toy line ended up in this list since you've mentioned it before and you could probably fill an entire here's 10 with just that one toy line.
Numbers 8, 7, and 2 are proof of the adage that one man's trash is another man's treasure for me. I loved Animated Roadbuster and BotCon 2013 Thundercracker. As an ARMY brat, I have always been an absolute sucker for military paint schemes, although I do acknowledge that they saturated the O.D. green on Thundercracker a bit too much. It's definitely kinda loud LOL As for G2 Swindle..."what was he blending into?", I hear you ask... ...the 90's, bro. He was blending into the 90's hahaha. As absurd as those paint jobs were, I did own them [G2 Combaticons] back when they were new, and I adored them. I could never explain why, but I had such an affinity for the G2 repaints (in general) as a kid. My favorites were the Dinobots, including that weird all-blue Grimlock.
Yo TJ i hope youve been well, im 22 now and havent picked back up on your videos since i was in 8th grade, hope to see more of your videos on your feed, and just know you still got OG's in the subscriber lot🤙🤙🤙
It's funny, I only got Machine Wars Thundercracker because of this video. This feels like a color palette I'd hate under normal circumstances, but I just like it for some reason? Either way this was a fun video, I didn't even know half of these existed!
What most people don't know about the G2 Combaticons, is that the purple is not actually camouflage. They own their own vineyard and enjoy making wine in their down time
Botcon cindersaur rains Supreme! Beautifully hideous! Or that piss trans-yellow titans return Sentinel Prime. Edit: ah yes, the second best painted version of the Cybertron beast megatron mold!
2:57 funny I’ve been working on doing a shattered glass theme combiner wars and thought about doing barricade in the theme of a British police car so yellow and blue and all that
the most recent Buzzworthy Bumblebee Dinobot that looks like a skinned chicken with orange wrestling gear and chesthair, also Generations G2 Megatron, both regular purple/green and the combat camo version. offensively fugly modern figures in my opinion
My theory, as a Dutchman, is that someone at Hasbro is a Netherlands Enthousiast. The early Dutch flags were Orange White and Blue (but overtime the Orange became Red) And I LOVE this paintscheme!!!!
13:54 The only part of that toy I like is the yellow and black Optimus Prime. However, you have a point, the clear yellow Ultra Magnus looks hideous, serves no purpose besides being a badly colored mess. Should've had some black and white parts on the robot mode itself to make it not look so ugly.
My theory on Platinum Astrotrain and Blitzwing is that they were canceled G2 color schemes that never even had artwork that saw the light of day until they were released in Platinum. I feel like that would make the most sense because just look at them hideous things.
Dark Energon TFP Optimus gets my vote. I’m admittedly partial to the clashing dark red and baby blue, but that orange just completely wrecks the whole thing.
funny thing is in some shops when preording fall of cybertron you get a code for g1 optimus skin (minus the trailor )or the g2 combaticons/bruticus skin
G2 Combaticons were before their time. Rappers do camo like that on their fancy cars all the time. Look up Young Dolph’s fleet of cars he owned before he passed away, it was the white and red Russian camo that was popularized in COD
idk TJ, literally the only color scheme you mentioned on this that I agree with is Shining Magnus, ...well and Barricade, yellow just really a'int his color. But then again, I love a lot of these color schemes just for how outlandish and absurd they are. I also always kind of viewed Jungle Planet Megatron as some sort of undead version as a kid, so that always made the color scheme for that one just click more.
Not limited enough, when I went to Botcon 2015, they were offering free toys to kids under 12. The toys were all unsold Machine Wars Thundercrackers. They had this giant bin behind the entrance desk where they'd hand one out to the kids.
Circuit’s original figure came out in the 90’s and I remember when I was a kid that those 90’s neon colors were in popular on real vehicles, clothing, etc. However on a Transformer though, those colors will never be in style.
Got me a Super 7 Banzai-tron. Thanks for the extra discount. I was seriously on the fence with this one but your discount code on top of the Black Friday deal finally won me over.
The Cybertron Jungle Planet Megatron has a Cyber Key port at the T-Rex mode's butthole. Man if Jobbythehong gets his hand on this figure, he'll probably have a field day.
Okay so I agree with everything on this list, except Circuit, that repaint of Hftd Axor is so good looking to me. I think it's amazing and I still really want one.
I love the Soundwave figure, I love the copper and the clear, but you are 100% correct... it makes zero sense. Now, the most recent repaint of G1 Soundwave... Balintron, I think it's called, with the yellow smiley face paint job... that looks like Piss Magnus and YOTG Soundwave had a surrogate child through Chelsea Clinton, and dropped it off the ugly tree... and it hit every branch on the way down. Please do another top 10 uglier or Fugly repaints and add that one. This was a fun video!
Toxitron Collection Jazz should be on this list. Not because it is bright and garish, but because it feels like it is missing a contrast color. It feels incomplete.
SG Astrotrain would either be a Hiro from Thomas and Friends homage (black, gold and red) or Legacy Galaxy Shuttle with the original Astrotrain head as an homage to the Japanese release of original Astrotrain.
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho the latter would work better as SG to me (the FunPub Armada Jetfire redeco/repurpose bores me), but I'd prefer the Hiro palette go to a new Autobot counterpart - considering how many molds have been shared among both factions over the years for different characters, I'm kinda surprised they never really did the same for characters like the Triple Changers to give the molds more to do
@@jaredhebert942 Maybe Hiro colors Astrotrain could be called "Grandpuff" (a nod to the RWS/Thomas story of the same name and the old D51 from RID 2001) or "DRX" (homage to Rail Racer's Japanese name).
I remember getting that 2 pack brawl at CVS when I was sick and 1st grade with my mom. It came with a Jolt that was just as ugly. Grey and blue. Dull and dumb looking. I was also suprised demolishor from cybertron didn't make the list. That thing looks very similar to that except it's missing that garish yellowish color.
It seems to me that the thought behind that "Matrix Energy Charge Ultra Magnus" thing.... was that they were trying to make a TF go Super Saiyajin ala'Dragon Ball Z. But yeah, it's still a butt-ungly color anyway.
As someone who owned the botcon machine wars figures at one point, I still have the Starscream and Mirage, I actually like Thundercracker from that set and don’t think it was nearly as bad as any of the others
YOTG Soundwave reminds me of wrapped caramels from an artisan candy shop. But I'd argue that the J.Balvin version of his G1 toy is worse. Also if you count BW Soundwave, he did sport copper/caramel colors then. It was all GPS but it technically counts, haha.
Not going to defend it cause you are right, its Ugly , but i am a huge Soundwave fan so , yes i do have it proudly displayed on my SW shelf .. in deck mode 😂….. the cassettes, i use them as OG characters as an elite team …same reason i got the Linkin Park Soundwave and eventually the J Balvin Soundwave.
They did the same for a Chinese Lunar new year G2 Optimus Prime they added black accents and chrome trailer, but it is quite hideous and I do like clear plastic toys.
As for Circuit. I get that they were being as cheap as possible by doing it as just a repaint, but I feel like this figure would have been served much better if they had done at least minor remolding. Remove the spikes, replace the hands, give him a new head sculp. You could have kept everything else, and it would have been much better. The garish color scheme would have still been garish, but at least the bot would have fit better.
G2 Combaticons camo is pure genius.
Why care about blending in an environment, when you can make the eyes of whoever looks in their general direction BLEED?
The G2 combaticons blend perfectly in a 90s arcade too! Seriously I lost Vortex as a kid by placing him on the birthday table lol.
Or how about Combaticons in UCP
I love the G2 Stunticons move than their G1 palettes for similar reasons, make brain go brrr
@@larrychilders6599
Which just makes it worse. At least G2 Brawl and Megs can blend into a jungle
@@benningtoncheemingwan9168yeah they'd get killed
For the Cybertron Dino Megatron I just like to think he scanned an undead T-Rex for an alt mode.
Now we need 10 Beautiful Transformers Repaints
Many Transformers repaints manage to be decent. Then there are the repaints that are worthy in heir own right or even manage to be better than the original.
Favorites for me include Cybertron Galvatron, Siege Soundblaster SG-EX, Universe Toxitron, Robots in Disguise Scourge, Shattered Glass Optimus Prime, Shattered Glass Jetfire, Titan Black Zarak, Armada Powerlinx Jetfire, Armada Optimus Prime final colors animated version, Energon Tidal Wave before his energy scarring, Energon Demolisher, Generations Thundercracker, Generations Skywarp, Generations Hotlink, Deluxe Class Breakaway, Energon Omega Sentinel, Universe Landquake, black and green G2 Sideswipe, and Animated Starscream clones.
Bold to go after a G2 combaticon considering how many people love that specific G2 color scheme
TJ just isn't a rad dudicus
Yeah no, I don't like LSD Bruticus either.
I cringe every time I see that deco! 🤮
I surmise they fail at color theory, too many primaries or too analogous or hues and shades are off, but moreso unattractive arrangement of colored parts.
color theory? matpat’s secret 6th channel?
Little known fact. Astrotrain loved Creamsicles so he changed his color scheme to reflect his love for them 🤣🤣
I think he looks like he plays for the Denver Broncos
@@ufg2036
Looks more like a Shattered Glass version of him
Shining Ultra Magnus is actually one of Optimus Prime's alternate color schemes in DreamMix TV World Fighters (minus the armor, obviously).
Yes, I am a nerd that recognizes stuff like that.
Sweet!
i think the yellow optimus is cool it's just that the piss onesie ruins it
Oh my, such a fun topic. Now we need a top 10 best garish repaints! :D
Tidal Wave's second color scheme in Armada is conceptually garish. Yet, it manages to fit Tidal Wave well. If anything, I remember his original overly purple color scheme the least.

I think the G2 Combaticons are charming actually
It's actually fitting that MP Soundwave is a 'Year of the GOAT' figure.
The g2s are quintessential 90s. Every super soaker, inline skates, trapper keeper looked like this. It's garish but I have the nostalgia feels.
Well Tj, having 2 kids pf my own now i can assure you that baby vomit tends to be white, however other digestive discharges do come out that particular shade of green

@@stevebazin127 But mess it up, they did.
I'm surprised nothing from the Universe toy line ended up in this list since you've mentioned it before and you could probably fill an entire here's 10 with just that one toy line.
That Machine Wars homage Thundercracker looks awesome to me.
I can say this about Desert Camo Brawl
The tolerances are much better than the first version. He's got not trouble plugging his shoulders into place
I actually really like that soundwave with the clear colour scheme
I'm suprised Armada Terrorsaur wasn't mentioned here
I have transformers collector club Circuit as a birthday gift one year.
You got it all wrong. The Combaticons are NOT hiding. They want you know they are coming to kick your butt!
Lol, what the heck would you call some of those colors? Do they even have names?! Lol

When I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought "Year Of The Goat MP Soundwave better be #1" and here we are.
Hey hey hey
That Green Megs is Amazing thank you very much
Swindle looks like the Alley Viper from Cobra
4:30 I never figured it out, either, but it was the best bet I had to get a new G1 Astrotrain. :p
It's funny, I only got Machine Wars Thundercracker because of this video. This feels like a color palette I'd hate under normal circumstances, but I just like it for some reason? Either way this was a fun video, I didn't even know half of these existed!

I love my FunPub Circuit. He really pops on my shelf and I love that he looks so different from Axer and Lockdown.
5:06 I know that BotCon stories repurposed this as an OG character named Star Dasher.
A Pirate verison of Astrotrain was an awesome idea!
Botcon cindersaur rains Supreme! Beautifully hideous!
Or that piss trans-yellow titans return Sentinel Prime.
Edit: ah yes, the second best painted version of the Cybertron beast megatron mold!
The Astro train recolor looks like he was involved in some kind of transportation accident and was fused with skyfire/Jetfire somehow...
2:57 funny I’ve been working on doing a shattered glass theme combiner wars and thought about doing barricade in the theme of a British police car so yellow and blue and all that
I had the clear sound wave as a kid the plastic breaks everywhere you think it would witch is everywhere
13:52 Ironic of this episode to come out right after the Rick and Morty Pissmaster episode...
the most recent Buzzworthy Bumblebee Dinobot that looks like a skinned chicken with orange wrestling gear and chesthair, also Generations G2 Megatron, both regular purple/green and the combat camo version. offensively fugly modern figures in my opinion
My theory, as a Dutchman, is that someone at Hasbro is a Netherlands Enthousiast. The early Dutch flags were Orange White and Blue (but overtime the Orange became Red)

How about the Year of the Goat Laser Prime who has a similar color to Soundwave. And adds pink to it.

funny thing is in some shops when preording fall of cybertron you get a code for g1 optimus skin (minus the trailor )or the g2 combaticons/bruticus skin
That fucking Astrotrain made me giggle
21:00 If they wanted to go with a stealth soundwave, he definitely should've been all clear, at least he would be visually consistent
Oh my god circuit is so bad I love it I forgot it existed
I kept expecting the Transformers Universe Silverbolt. The purple and yellow Beast Wars repaint was horrendous.
G2 Combaticons were before their time. Rappers do camo like that on their fancy cars all the time. Look up Young Dolph’s fleet of cars he owned before he passed away, it was the white and red Russian camo that was popularized in COD
13:24 Ooooohhh gosh, I've NEVER seen that much translucent plastic... on one figure!! ON ONE FIGURE!!!!!
I'd think some people would like to see you mention repaints you find to be nicer than the original version of the molds, outside of your favorites.
Needs a part 2 of repaints so bad that they became good. I nominate Prime Dead End and 2007 movie All Spark Power Incinerator.
idk TJ, literally the only color scheme you mentioned on this that I agree with is Shining Magnus, ...well and Barricade, yellow just really a'int his color.

I’m ok with the orange on astrotrain if they painted it so the wheels and thrusters would be black it would help the unfinished look of the orange
Personally I think it's fine the way it is. Maybe it's just because it reminds me of the spaceship toys I had when I was a kid.
I love the Soundwave figure, I love the copper and the clear, but you are 100% correct... it makes zero sense.
Now, the most recent repaint of G1 Soundwave... Balintron, I think it's called, with the yellow smiley face paint job... that looks like Piss Magnus and YOTG Soundwave had a surrogate child through Chelsea Clinton, and dropped it off the ugly tree... and it hit every branch on the way down.
Please do another top 10 uglier or Fugly repaints and add that one. This was a fun video!
I like G2 Swindle because he looks like a Cobra Alley Viper.
Did you add the Happy Holidays Optimus prime?!
Toxitron Collection Jazz should be on this list. Not because it is bright and garish, but because it feels like it is missing a contrast color. It feels incomplete.
The Astrotrain I think is referencing WingWaver’s color scheme from Transformers Victory.
Staring it now… and betting I love at least half of them.
And I liked 6 out of town 😂. Year of the goat sw earned his spot and yellow often looks bad
I think that bw megatron would look good in an updated figure (edit) I didn't know there's a orange creamsicle soundwave
I love my Year of MP Soundwave... so great in hand. & the BW Megatron is a great figure too the dino is awesome looking

Megatron legit looks like a ghoul
Honestly, I kinda like the look as its own thing even if it's weird for BW Megs
ALL HAIL THE PROMO CODES!!!
Circuit's a redeco of Axor because G1 Circuit was a redeco of G1 Axer.
9:02...Didn't they show way later on, that Cybertron does indeed have red and purple fire swamps? lol
Number nine looks a bit like g1 sentinal prime..
I did forget about year-of-the-goat soundwave. and now I'm angry again at his existance
Not going to defend it cause you are right, its Ugly , but i am a huge Soundwave fan so , yes i do have it proudly displayed on my SW shelf .. in deck mode 😂….. the cassettes, i use them as OG characters as an elite team …same reason i got the Linkin Park Soundwave and eventually the J Balvin Soundwave.
At least the joints on the 1st entry aren't clear
I think circuit would look nice if his face and head were slightly darker/ used teal blue they have
13:25 look it’s urine Magnus
Very enjoyable video
They did the same for a Chinese Lunar new year G2 Optimus Prime they added black accents and chrome trailer, but it is quite hideous and I do like clear plastic toys.
