The bomb-dropping and the Megavisor sound pretty cool to me. You're going to need more info than a "weh it's terrible" to convince me otherwise.Burn wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I'd actually like to get hold of Machine Wars Starscream, since he's one of the good uses of the Skyquake mold (which has cool gimmicks, from what I've read).
No, it doesn't. It's a terrible mold.

And then there's his upgrade Hellscream, AKA "Swordshark".
(I love the "upgrade" BWII figures so much, they're totally bonkers in just the right way.)

You can get Stalker (or even just his missile) for the mega-visor gimmick. He's much more poseable as well.
Bomb dropping gimmick? That's assuming you can find the bombs to begin with. You might get lucky and come across someone who doesn't know what they have and pick them up cheap. Otherwise ... bomb-dropping gimmick? It's not very exciting.
And he's straight up a brick, and overly large one at that. Want to display him? He takes up an incredible amount of shelf space.

For my money, he's got just as much if not more influence from the B-1 Lancer (as is pointed out for the redecoes). Compare the tails.Emerje wrote:You guys have no imagination, I like the bomb drop gimmick, it's something different from yet another spring loaded missile at the time.
I do wish they would give us a new Skyquake figure so they can make a Selects Starscream.-Kanrabat- wrote:But he's amazing looking and that spaceship mode is killer.
A what? He's loosely based on an SR-71 Blackbird.
