Exactly.

Simply painting the parts that are supposed to be white, white, would likely go a LONG way.... one day I'll do it.

Might as well have a black hole nearby to use for a toilet...

Well…it doesn’t specify what kind of throne he is on. Now I am looking for the flush handle.

He's...not white.

Not in anything I've seen him in. What is that pic from? I mean, the movie is the only thing that matters to me, but...

Is this a splitting hairs of what you want to call that color (white, light grey), or do you genuinely not remember the og movie?

I've watched it dozens of times, and just googled too, and found few that made it appear white. I always saw him as clearly a grey, and light grey. Any differences down to light and shadows.

It always seemed clearly grey to me because you can compare him to Galvatron in some transformation scenes and it's the same color. If anything else, I'd say the light grey on Unicron is supposed to be metallic silver, and some toys have interpreted him that way.

Are there toys or figures that ever depicted him with white? I haven't seen them.

To be clear, if I ever paint him, no, I won't use white. I was just lazily pointing out that Soldier Story hugely missed the mark by making him only 2 colors, dark grey and orange/gold. All he needs is a third lighter grey. I'll be sure to look up my pantone color system next time first, before casually suggesting a color

Lol...

I agree, definitely three colors.

Geek feud averted.

Thank gawd, because I've definitely seen it more times than any human LOL. Not sure if I'm embarrassed or proud to be able to recite every single line from it

Oh, I also hate that they didn't get the pattern on his chest plates and pelvis accurate. But yeah, the paint would likely solve 90% of my complaints.

I hadn't noticed that one.

Looks like, what? They just used two big circles on the chest and pelvis? Wrong sizing and amount?
