I don't know if anyone else ever noticed this, but on the noses of the Takara MP Seekers in tiny lettering their character slogans are printed. I checked the Walmart MP Starscream and he's got the Decepticon crown in place of the slogan. Certainly in the years since the MPs have been released someone else has noticed this, but it was brand new to me. Was this common knowledge, or what? What, if anything, does the Walmart Skywarp have painted on his nose? Fine, it's not really the nose of the jet but directly under the cockpit area.

My Walmart Skywarp doesn't have anything printed on it.

I've got the US MP Starscream, and I don't see it.

It seems to be only the Japanese releases. You can see it in the galleries.

I have nothing at all on my WalMart version, and I really never noticed on the Takara version I have. I need to pay more attention. I really don't mess with the Takara-that is why I got the WM version too.

I actually just checked mine, and there is nothing written on either one.

Ok, so apparently it's not as unknown as I thought it may have been. I just never looked all that closely I guess, so I was surprised like all get out. And believe me, all get out, that's a lot of get out.

It's only on the Takara Seekers. The US Walmart Starscream has the little crown painted on it.

AHHHHH! I see it. Sorry, I was looking at the point of the nose, and not under the cockpit. :oops:

I do see it on my Takara. "Strike when the enemy isn't looking"........Dang, I feel like a dummy. Thanks for pointing that out.
