I'd rather just have the wing articulation thingamies and be done with it. Who needs less obtrusive null rays when you can just move the wings out of the way anyway!

Oh, and sell them in packs of 3.

Not a bad idea, but that still doesn't work for me. The null rays are just plain too damn big in my opinion and don't look right. The added articulation (thanks to the null rays being smaller) is again just a bonus, so these guns are a must.

I was going to get Renderforms new null rays which have been listed as upcoming on his site for ages, but since Dr Wu got to them first, that's who I'm going with instead.

These look good, so I'm on board. Even if a Skywarp set never materialises (but why wouldn't it?) these sets are cheap enough to risk early adoption.

As for which versions they'll go with, I'm predicting they'll be as generic as they can while still being distinctly Starscream/Thundercracker, with maybe immensely toned down colours. There's too many versions out there to risk appealing to just one market.

I actually find the larger cannons to be rather endearing for the mold, especially given it's small-ish size. It really is moreso the wings inability to accommodate them that bothers me... that and swept back wings just look beter.

I don't display my Classics Starscream with the Coronation Gear either. Just the Null rays and the new wing pieces. take a look at the TF source review those wings pieces is so good. Also I think they had these for like 20 bucks for a long time.. Just thought they are a better value for the money.

I swapped out my null rays ages ago for customs I made, but these look even better, so I'll go with these.

I only made them for the main 3 though, so I may repaint and move my existing ones to the rainmakers or something.

Really wish these were in the $7-$10 range and I'd deck out all my seekers. At $16 I'll be more choosy.

Yep, I've seen it. Still not worth it since I'd have to buy multiple sets and do the paintwork for all the other seekers myself. If they had them in each color for the various seekers that would be fine, but they don't. Dr Wu will. If it were just Starscream I was concerned with, then that set would do the job.

I bought the shapeways null rays and are pretty happy with them, and I was able to paint them to match....

who even knows which versions these will match?

Looks like the good Dr has a set for the coneheads too!

These match their G1 weapons, which were not the null rays the standard seekers came with.

I think I'll be buying these for the coneheads, and the "Hunger Classics" (aka not Dr Wu) set for the standard seekers, as I'll get 6 sets of Null rays and 3 sets of missiles with that set.

With 12 assorted weapons, and maybe a few dabs of paint, I should be able to deck out all my seekers!
