I'm also in the minority that I didn't mind the redesign of the original Classified Joes. I was disappointed that Hasbro back-tracked and went back to the original looks. But at least they're still different enough, so they're not just scaled-up versions of the originals.

Redesign is fine, as long as it retains the essence of the character. I didn't like the gold accents of the first wave, but that's nothing a paint brush can't fix. Design wise, you can still tell that was Duke, Scarlet, Snake Eyes and Roadblock, but in modern uniforms. Roadblock's "fork gun" was too "out there" for me, but otherwise, they were fine. What I didn't like, was the Target Roadblock. There's nothing about him that says "Roadblock", Roadblock has never wore the head-bandana or sported a beard, that was always a "Heavy Duty" thing.



So that was what I would consider a "bad redesign". But like many have mentioned, I think that was always meant to be Heavy Duty, so I did a quick swap of the left arm with the Amazon Roadblock, so now my 2 Roadblocks have tattoo on the left arm, while my Heavy Duty has no tattoo.

I would like to see Tomax and Xamot not in those ridiculous circus uniforms. They would look so much more like "Crimson Guards Commander" if they're in matching uniforms like the ones that came with the Crimson Command Copter.



I know people would groan, but to me, that's a good redesign. Updating the looks to what make sense today.
