Anyone else notice that on the bottom of the box's back, on each of their profiles, it makes them look like they have different weapons and faces.

Retools on the missiles and faces, perhaps?

Not really. Nothing more than showing off their weapons and light-piping. The United line has done that for every single figure separately, even in multi-packs. Take Windcharger vs. Wipe-out for example:

Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

Preparing to move to the US!

Why would Starscream's intelligence, speed, and skill be less than Skywarp if he is supposed to be a crafty lieutenant, fastest flyer, and highly competent warrior in the Decepticon army?

O come on, are they still keeping that G1 mistake intact?

Indeed, the first G1 Seekers had their Tech Specs switched around. Skywarp got Starscream's numbers.

I'm looking forward to these guys...I had the henkei KO's and I wanted to swap out for something for official.

I noticed the weird tech specs too...even if they weren't swapped it would still be off. Screamer's intelligence has to be very high, but courage very low...not real big deal though.

I would love to get the new ramjet coming out, but I don't really want to buy the entire 2nd set.

They sort of fixed the tech specs - at least Starscream isn't ranked below Skywarp anymore.
