I see they fixed the sticker sheet for the actual release. Thank Primus.

also, I wish it had an IDW head, it would work!
Myself, I prefer purple wings to gray. And at least lilac Cyclonus is more justified than lavender Galvatron (
that's just Takara's color guide being screwy).
As for an IDW head, you could just hack away the cheeks, and hack or file away at the horns to make them more IDW-pointy.

Would there be any point in a "G1 toy accurate" Select voyager Scourge?
Or is SS86 Sweep already it?
SS86 Sweep is already it, minus the ugly stickers.

We do have a Hot Rod coming in the Velocitron line and we know the design team wanted the SS86 figure to be magenta before higher ups ignored the whole point of SS and made them do toy colors instead so it's possible that the design team pitched the movie colors to Walmart.

1. Boy is this hilarious in hindsight.
2. Also, boy were you talking out your exhaust port by calling SS86 Hot Rod "toy colors".
Everything besides being red (which is a light red, unlike the toy's darker red) instead of magenta, is based on the movie colors.

And I also agree, this color us much better than the Kingdom version. This will be my comic Cyclonus rep, while the Kingdom figure will go on my movie shelf.
f I chose one I'd choose the selects, definitely a better color scheme. I always thought Cyclonus was more purple, while scourge was more blue (based on the seekers they were reformatted from), but obviously Studio Series 86 though otherwise. but there is always Sweep.
O... kay? How is the
dark blue SS86 Scourge
more purple than the lilac Kingdom Cyclonus?

Because there are only
two gun Battlemaster molds (well, three if you count Rung): Firedrive and Blowpipe, the latter having alternate limbs for an attempt at Aimless (which unfortunately are referenced from the Legends mess instead of the proper aimless). Firedrive was picked for Fracas based on helmet shape. Of course, you could just get the cheap tiny China-made G1-based Fracas.

Shapeways?
As an European (or Canadian) that head alone will cost as much as the whole toy itself shipped. If not more.
Still expensive for an American, but the price would be much more reasonable because of the dramatically reduced shipping price.
To be fair, RodimusPrimeUkraine1 was addressing D-Max, who lives in Pennsylvania.
