Those colors look so nice on that figure. I may have to take the plunge and get all the seekers

Not sure how I feel about the torso being purple instead of black.

I feel like the purple chest is helping break up all the black. and it looks good with the silver

Agreed, but if I'm gonna get this mold, I kinda want Jetfire. Just sayin.

I have Jetfire and the mold works so nicely for him and i love it. I also love that they repurposed it into the seekers. it looks very good and I love the IDW design, just wish they were smaller. But now I want all 3 leaders so I have my first seeker lineup. (The IDW design and the Starscream Crown won me over)

It's just, that part of the chest where the fake cockpit is is supposed to be a fake version of his nosecone, which is traditionally black. The silver is what's supposed to break up the black of the torso.

"Me Grimlock want to know why Skywarp's chest is purplish."

What if, in this toy's cannon, that chest is not the nosecone?

Or we can think about this realistically and not make a bullshit non cannon explanation (that''s funpub's job); the reason probably has something to do with which parts are on which sprues, the chest sections may be molded with the arms and engines.

But is it really BS? Because that would mean that his chest is 100% without a doubt his nosecone. And from the looks of the toy, it isnt. No nosecone has never looked like that. And toy-wise, it isnt his nosecone, its just a chest design and his nosecone is up in the back. So all the chest is really doing is homaging the nosecone, not replacing it outright and thus the chest colour needs not duplicate the full colour. What I mean is the toy is already not the traditional Skywarp since his nosecone is not his chest. This is an update for the generations line, and seeing it that way, why cant other aspects be different?
I mean, is the colour of the chest really the only different between this
and this?

May be what tradition says, but still looks good to me

Alright, lemme pull up some artwork of this toy's body:
Guido Guidi's Seeker design art.

But these toys arent perfect representations. They dont have the tall air exhausts at the sides of the robot heads. They instead have turbines in he back. Also, the chest is jagged ant not really a tapered nosecone. And lastly, the wings are far bigger than traditional seekrs wings and not smooth nor coloured.

I don't mind some color changes. Heck, lots of people probably dont even notice the difference. but they are fairly IDW evocative and they look amazing

If it had included a black crown with ruby's in it, or something, I'd have bought it on site

Bitching about a changed colour scheme on toys that change. Yeah, makes total sense.

I like that they added the null rays, but I wish there was a port higher up to place them so they could work better with the arms and wings design though
