I was upset about this at first as well.Rated X wrote:Poor choice on Starscream. If he isn’t gonna be huge them might as well keep him the same mold as Skywarp and Thundercracker. Everybody wanted the Silverbolt mold, why didn’t they just deliver ?
For the Unicron Trilogy molds, they wre simply so old and worn out that they had outlived their usefulness.Rated X wrote:Aside from GM and movie licensed molds, I don’t buy into the excuses of a mold not being “available”. What decides this ? If it’s piled up in the back of a warehouse and they’re too lazy to dig it out ?
I agree with you on both. I did not want a Perceptor-made Soundwave or three Reflectors either.Rated X wrote:Glad not to see the Perceptor mold on the list. I didn’t want to see them ruin Soundwave my not using the perfect Cybertron Red Alert mold. And I don’t need a 3 pack of huge Reflectors either. The Perfect Effect set is fine for me.

But, many have argued against our disdain pointing out that the Terradive mold has the closest head mold to MW Starscream's head as is without having to remold it.
As for it not being a big toy, others have also argued that Transformers fiction has often ignored the size of characters with big toys. G1 Blaster, for example was HUGE, yet the cartoon and comics all depicted him as just a slightly-taller-then-average guy, being on par Soundwave, whose toy was half his size.
MW Starscream being a titan may have applied for the 1997 toy, but since there was no fiction for it back then, there was little-to-no official portrayal of the guy to spell out just how tall the character really is.
Well, even ignoring it being a UT mold (which Fun Pub are too old and worn out to use), and ignoring its moldedgavinfuzzy wrote:Honestly the most fitting mold for MW Starscream would be Cybertron Wingsaber.
Perfect fit. Yes, it's an AEC mold, but it does not seemed to be used much... Last I saw it was the Allspark repaint (Which I regret passing.)
Although, remolding to the bot symbol on the chest would be needed.

This set is not to my tastes but for those who like it, I hope you enjoy them. Depending on how they look, I may try and get the Rainmakers but I have a feeling I can easily pass on them.
Can't wait for the Botcon coverage and new toy reveals.

Well, considering that Strika and Obsidian are the stars of this, it'd make sense to include the two of them, so that's one large figure covered. And Megaplex was the only completely original (name and all) character that Machine Wars introduced (Hubcap may have also been new, but he used a non-new name), so it'd make plenty of sense to include him, thus getting in two large figures already and leaving little room for Starscream.Henry921 wrote:I'm not sure what to make of FunPub's choice of head sculpts. I understand they didn't get the Dreadwing mold until it was too late to give him a new head, but if they wanted to do Starscream, why not showcase his figure? And why make him an at-show exclusive instead of in the box set? I could be wrong, but the fans seem to buy things called 'Starscream' pretty regularly.
Save for at least two confirmed ones, though.LOST Cybertronian wrote:Not confirmed, just rumor.

Though, if you're talking about including him instead of Skywarp, then... I got nothing.![]()
Also, count me in the camp who wishes Hoist had been Hubcap instead. I don't mind Hoist being included, but I'd be more excited for a Hubcap.![]()
Yeah, it's part of the business, to get customers to buy more of their products. Tis a common business practice.Henry921 wrote:Well, no, that I understand. Annoying as it is that we only get one of the Seekers in the box, it's just like the Club to divide character pairs into separate purchases, like they did last year with Runamuck and Runabout, and in previous years, say... Jazz and Ricochet back in 2008. Skywarp is in the box because they know we want Thundercracker to go with him, so we'll buy that souvenir pack as well (or attend the show, if he's the attendee freebie). It is -admittedly- quite a sound strategy.

To be fair, Universe Silverbolt is still very much bigger than the Energon Scorponok mold.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And I suddenly realised the main issue with using Silverbolt mold: it's too big. Universe Silverbolt is an Ultra, and the last time an Ultra was used for the Souvenir Sets was in 2006 for Darksyde Megatron. The largest were all Voyagers except for him.
EDIT: Scratch that, the last one was 2010's Double Punch. Carry on.

People keep forgetting about Landshark. It's such a shame too, he's a pretty cool figure.

1. We're going to see the Classics Seeker mold used for the ten millionth time, and the second time for Acid Storm.
2. We're finally going to get names for the yellow and blue Rainmakers since Acid Storm (the green rainmaker) was named several years ago.
Interesting...I wonder how they'll figure into the Botcon storyline.

We'll, your assuming they are using the classics seeker mold, when it might be safer to assume they are using the ROTF Dirge mold to fit in alongside Skywarp and Thundercracker in this set.
