#1. Why is Dirge's missiles, forearms & head/nosecone GRAY??? They're supposed to be black.
#2. Why are the colors on Thrust's jet mode completely wrong? His wings aren't supposed to be gray & why did they put that black patch on it?
#3. Why haven't I seen anybody else mention these problems?
Thrust was always my favorite since G1 & that IS NOT Thrust! WTF?

I would have expected the 2nd season jets to have less "kibble" because the nosecone would actually be used for something in bot mode.. but it's even more prominent.
That huge nosecone sticking between the legs... it's not great.

The nosecone of the Classics Seeker mold is built differently from the nosecone of the MP Seeker mold. The Classics Seeker mold built the robot mode head into the nosecone; the MP Seeker mold did not.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Probably because it would have made for a ginormous conehead.

I will forever disagree. The classics toys did something simple but smart which the amsterpiece line could have ameliorated on:
Transformers Henkei Thrust Gallery
And if it had to be a fake head they could have done a new mold to make a cleaner transformation that hides the nosecone. But no, instead they reused the same scheme from 10 years ago and just stick the nosecone in the back.
