I have the iGear version. If the Takara version looked like the custom above I would have purchased it too.

The actual Takara version? Not so much.

I might get this.

Wait.. you realize that the "custom above" IS the actual Takara version right?

I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. The photo above shows a custom by FrenzyRumble that was posted as a placeholder image by YaHobby.



You posted the photo of the vastly inferior two-toned Takara version yourself:



The differences should be pretty immediately obvious, beginning with Takara's version being a straight repaint of MP-11 Starscream....

(When YaHobby posted the picture of the custom I erroneously submitted it as news, making the same mistake you did until Mkall set me straight.)

Ok yea I get that, but in your quoted statement, the above pictured Sunstorm is NOT the frenzyrumble custom. Are we talking about the same pic? The one featuring the cape and the crown right? That is the Takara version. I'm familiar with frenzyrumble, love his work, but looking at your comment, the above pictured Sunstorm is NOT the custom. Am I confused?

You'll notice the lack of cut plastic for the "flames" on the wings and the entirely different paint. The pictured you posted IS the Takara version.

I think there is some confusion.
I would buy a Sunstorm that looked like this one in this photograph (F-R's custom) IF it were Takara's MP-11:



I will not buy this, Takara's actual MP-11S, because it sucks:

.

I'm not sure how our signals got crossed.

HAHA! Clarification! Yes. That. The Tak version doesn't do anything for me either. And why would we need a Sunstorm with coronation gear?

Because Takara wanted to sell a repaint for the same price but didn't want to create alternate add-ons?
