Looks like it does, man. The armor is only covering the grill, part of the door, and a little bit of the hood. How inaccurate could it be?

The only thing I'm worried about is the paint apps. But, again, we just wait for Reprolabels to do something about it.

-sigh- Sometimes, I hate being a part of the intellectual part of the Seibertron community. :BANG_HEAD:

If that's the case, then this will be my first Beast Hunters toy I'll actually be getting. He's going to have wait until after I get FOC Ultra Magnus and Starscream.

I was able to look at the walmart computer and there were listings for deluxe starscream and dreadwing. I also saw listings for Hungrr as a cyberverse commander.

Could Starscream (or Dreadwing) possibly be the enigmatic #005 that we're scratching our heads over?

It would make sense, seeing how we haven't seen a Decepticon in the second wave of Beast Hunters. Hun-Gurrr is an interesting find as well. I wonder if he looks anything like his Generation 1 self?

My guess is that hun-grr is a recolor of sinnertwin.

really glad we are getting a Smokescreen deluxe, happier that i don't have to grab a TAkTomy version.
looking forward to getting him in hand.

It's Twinstrike here.

Hmm, Deluxe Starscream. I'll have to see what they do with him.

I'm not looking forward to a Deluxe Dreadwing, though.

I'm interested in Starscream as well. I have First Edition Starscream already, but because of his premium packaging, I don't want to open him. If he's anything like the First Edition figure, then Smokescreen won't be the only Beast Hunters figure I'll happily get.

Then what was the point of buying FE Starscream if you're not going to open it?

As for our mysterious #005, who knows. Could be anyone, even Ratchet.

Some people like packaging enough to keep it in MISB.

I opened my FE Starscream, I just kept the box.

That, and it could be worth a mint down the road if something were to happen that I would need to sell off my collection (i.e college [doubtful, as the military could provide free college under the GI Bill], loss of job, etc.).

I opened all six of my FE Starscreams and tossed all of the packaging in the trash.

One word: dayum.

I assume they were repurposed as Starscream's Armada?

Yyyyyup! One for the real Screamer, five for his clones.

And today I just found a seventh PRID Vehicon by happy accident. :mrgreen:

I have yet to find even one PRiD Vehicon. Seen one Legion-class figure, and a couple First Edition figures, but that's about it.

Twinstrike is a Legion.

Don't bother. No middle man i know ships tabao orders to the us. Shipping to singapore alone is actually rather costly. If you somehow mannage to get this into the us, i assue you it would take over 2 months and cost around $50usd for both. I'll just wait.

I actually found a site that specializes in TaoBao and emailed them. I'll keep everyone a tit of what happens.

Might as well add me to that there black list: I was about to say the same thing, but relented since they beat me to the punch. :lol:

The new sculpt for Smokescreen genuinely suprised me. I wasnt expecting that at all. Hasbro, you now have my attention.

new mold for smokescreen? if that armor comes off, i'm certainly getting him

The more I look at it and the way the "Shadow Quill Armor" is billed on the cardback I'm almost certain it's removable. Guess we'll find out next month a Toy Fair.
