(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to the original Cybertron Ransack. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of the original Cybertron Ransack here.)

    Ransack's new color scheme is very different from his original, mostly light red scheme, and it has a lot more contrast. The main base colors are a pretty standard black and white, but all the gold paint apps really work well to help contrast against the black, and the transparent green wheels and chest plate look REALLY awesome against both the white and the black. There's also a bit of silvery blue thrown in to add a little more variety in there, and it works very well where it's placed. What is noticeable is that Ransack GTS has a few more paint apps then the original Ransack did, and they're a bit more spread out so that no large part of Ransack looks bereft of paint detailing. Ransack also has a fully painted Cyber Key, unlike his first release. The fully-painted Decepticon emblem on the robot chest, instead of just a small black Decepticon symbol on the side of his gun like on the original Ransack, is a much better place for said emblem. The overall color scheme also looks great next to Ransack's pal Dark Crumplezone, which is also a cool "team color" combo, whether intentional or not.
    No mold changes have been made to Ransack GTS.
    Ransack GTS is an original, very well-done repaint that looks fantastic, and looks catches the eye so much better than the original release of this mold did. One of the best repaints in the Cybertron line, and on a pretty good mold to boot-- highly recommended!


Ransack GTS Bio:
The idea behind the new paint job is that Ransack GTS is supposed to be a spy. Slip in, do some sabotage, and slip out again. That was the idea anyway. But the pressure is too intense for someone as twitchy as Ransack GTS. He's used to racing headlong into trouble, and then talking his way back out. He may be geared for stealth, but his over-stocked vocal processor has Galvatron considering just removing it entirely.
