Sure, although I like the idea of an all-black force, with perhaps a differently shaped 'Emperor'/leader version, I'd certainly be happy to just see the silver versions re-instated.
I guess those who decided on the new look let their judgement get a little skewed for the sake of change (and further merchandising possibilities). But it's the 'hunched-back' aspect of these new primary-coloured dodgems for the sake of the operators inside that really jars for me. Totally ruins the overall look of the things.
Whatever happened to suffering for the art anyway? In the old days, it was a badge of honour to be inside one of them, regardless of the discomfort!
