ALL HAIL STARSCREAM, GREATEST LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS!
Have a question for those who have TT, do the wings swing back like Jetfire or static?
Sorry to drag something up from a couple of pages ago (still catching up on weekend posts with Botcon and Tokyo Show and had an extremely busy week at work so far). Fenrir, I don't think anyone answered your question here (unless I missed it, and I apologize to the one who answered, if so existing). TC's wings are static. Jetfire is more like F-14 Tomcat, TC like F-15 (though both in this mold more like F-22).

Finally in the twilight of the Combiner Wars 2015 line here it is, complete with crown. For those new to this Jetfire retool (like me) there's a new head, chest, weapons, and wings. For me the main selling point was the crown, I just love how a small piece of TF history has been able to hold on through the years. Definitely worth a pick up.

It's true that replacing the mask and jetpack with the crown and null rays seem like a cheapo trade-off. I don't mind the no-chrome, but it would have been really appreciated on the crown.
I would really have liked to see how Screamers look with the armor bits. Leaving this step out was a lazy disservice.

I guess the cost of the remolded head, shoulder pads and wing retool plus colors offset the fast pack and chrome?

Can't be that. I call greed.
Case in point, FOC Jazz VS FOC Sideswipe. Jazz came first, with a lone itsy bitsy tiny gun. Sideswipe was a repaint remold of Jazz, with the head and part of the vehicle remolded. He came with a HUGE-ASS cannon.
william-james88 wrote:Could it be they didnt put the chrome because the last time they did, all the fans started whining? Takara always had chrome on their version and people bought them for the superior deco. Hasbro tries once and "Aint G1, look at Takara, they know what's up, screw Hasbro". So Hasbro said f#$k it, and now here we are without chrome, thanks!
Anyways...
I think it was Chuck that said that it was too bad all the seekers had the same head. Well I am happy becuase last time they decided to make Starscream have a different head than his fellow seekers, it was for the worse:
So hellscream9999, would you rather have that seeker head over this one?

How bout the head of this Starscream?Hellscream9999 wrote:Well, if you really want to know, I think most starscream head designs suck; I really liked Cybertron Starscreams head design if I remember correctly. Prime came pretty close, but that may have more to do with how emotive it was and how it fit the design and scting style of his character in relation to his body design. I honestly don't mind the alternity design too much, then again, I also sought out Injector at botcon this year, after wanting him my whole life, so take of it what you will.
I will say that Prime soundwave had the best head design, very fitting to his character and very intimidating
