Sorry, couldn't resist.

However QC isn't 100%
There's a littke bit of a red paint splotch on the side of one of his legs, it look like someone tried to wipe it off, which only lead to some red streaks. However it is over pure white plastic, so I may try something to remove it.
His left shoulder doesn't fit in nicely, it pops out easily leaving a small gap
The Targetmaster's gun barrel is a gold plastic, and not a dull chrome like some might have thought. The only problem is, is the black mark on one side of the barrel where I suppose it was seperated from the dollop and not painted over. Not too noticable though.
Overall Quality-wise I give it a 90%. He's got stiff joints (aside fromt the aforementioned shoulder) and bold colours. The orange actually works with the figure. I very much enjoy him.

His knees are red, which leads me to think someone missed with the brush, or sneezed at the wrong point in time.

I have to say, he's entirely bad-ass. I know a lot of people balked at the price and the easy recolor into something we didn't expect, but the figure is SO damn nice.
The red paint is muted, so it absolutely does not give off the candy cane look. The face is very silver with the red helmet, which somehow makes it look less Cyclonus-ish. The orange parts on him look like they're made of the same plastic as the original Strafe's parts. I know a handful of people who are going to be bummed once they see the toy in hand after deciding not to purchase him.

My favorite parts are the metallic red wings. They look almost transparent at first glance, but then you realize they're just reflective. The orange bothers me a lot less than I thought I would.
Now bring on crystal Starscream!

You get a set of Guardian Microns yet?
Because I did.
Just sayin'...

I'm drawing a blank on which Universe moulds would work. Cybertron has some more promising possibilities with Vector Prime as Scattorshot (already done as a Legend), Gasket as the bike guy whose name escapes me at the moment and maybe Excellion as Lightspeed. Nosecone is something of a problem. Maybe if Botcon ever do a Wreckers set and remould Armada Demolishor's missiles into drills to give us Twintwist then that would work for Nosecone, but it would then have to be a Botcon release too.
