That's an even better idea. Any and all slightly different colored 'spares' on the shelf could be waved off that way and you can claim to have no character duplicates, too!
Clowning powers. Explains the color schemes.
By the power of EXTREEEEEME! eye searing colours.
Maybe the Stunticons finally caused so many traffic accidents the court mandated safety coloration?
Those were no accidents. Those were traffic ON PURPOSES!!
I mean, the team is a victory obsessed egomaniac, a paranoid delusional, a fatalist and an insane thrill seeker. All of whom hate their boss. 
The Stunticons not instantly ending up dead says a lot.
if nothing else, this Takara G2 set AND Hasbro still committing to eventually finished their G2 set opens some interesting ideas for the other teams. Especially Bruticus, since he probably has the most repaints of any combiner.
G1
G2
Baldigus
Ruination
Battle Gaia
And all the variant camo versions

What is the shoulder issue that I've seen people talk about in other forums? I don't have any version of these molds, so I haven't honestly been paying attention. I knew that the original leg-bots had a lot of clear plastic, and it looked like the G2 set might have swapped it for solid (though it may just be painted over). I wasn't aware of any other issues?
I think it's something to do with some people's Menasor's having really loose shoulder ratchets?
Sounds like general QC, not a widespread issue.
Crossposting from the "Japanese Transformers" thread, there's a new comic for G2 Menasor. The Stunticons (and the Nemesis!) get new colors and visit Velocitron!
And there goes Velocitron's insurance rates...
I guess Velocitron going to learn the true meaning of Death Race.
Hah, double joke. Not only are Thunderblast/Ransack/Crumplezone now a Doronbo-esque trio like the fandom thought of them as for years, but Ransack even gets to say ポチッとな... because the Japanese voice actor for Gasket would go on to play Voltkatze (Yatterman Night) and Tsubuyakky (Time Bokan 24) where he says that there too.
I sure wonder what future figures we could get from this line! Is that art of Super Link Laserwave apparently back from the dead in the Studio Series Shockwave body meant to be a tease at the next figure?
Now that’s a fun idea.
