I like it, and I agree with the previous sentiments with bring on g2 Starscream. However I feel I have to point out that he is rocking the g1 Decepticon logo, and I don't spy a g2 logo on him.

Just like the original, sadly.

It was the Fun Pub version that had the G2 symbols.

As pointed out elsewhere, by Jelze, the original sported G1 con symbols as well.

ahh I see, never owned the original g2 ramjet, but most of the g2 figures I did have g1 faction stickers and a g2 symbol stamp on them somewhere, usually next to their name so I assumed this guy would have one too. In fact I could have sworn I have seen a pic with ramjet showing the logo stamp on the back of his wing. Guess I was wrong

I'm not a big Generation 2 fan, but I am semi-tempted to get this so I can have A Ramjet, because I'm sure as hell never going to own the Earthrise one. There is a Thrust going for an ok price on Ebay. It calls to me. IT CALLS TO ME!!! But I don't feel as if I should unless I can complete the whole conehead set.

...they know that this is just Slipstream's colors on the wrong design and they're mocking us about it, boo. I really hope Hasbro still gives us a Slipstream and doesn't decide that they can't because they're too similar to this guy.

Well, they gave us both Thundercracker and Ion Storm in Siege, so who knows?

While Nightbird is magnificent be VERY careful with her. I managed to snap off a hinge of the hood while transforming. I'll try my best to repair it.

Neat, but i would just like to get a Thrust without having to pay through my nose on scalpbay.

Maybe I'll just be talking to myself but I'll share what I did.

One "ear clip" made out of clear plastics broke off. Only glue wouldn't do so I had to add a piece of plastic. I then trimmed it down a bit and painted it. This way, not only the clip stay in place, everything is rock solid. If you're curious, it was a "arm door" of deluxe RTS Lazer Optimus Prime. (I have a huge box-o-scraps.)

But because the real estate under that hood is extremely tight, I had to trim down her feet to allow the necessary clearance. No more "combat ports" under those.

Nightbird still stand tall and strong, but her "popping off panties feature" was getting on my nerves so I glued her crotch joint and her panties in place. She lose that articulation point but rotating 10 degrees before a part fly off doesn't count as an genuine articulation point. Now she stay decent and she look amazing!

She also transform without any hassle and is solid everywhere.

The custom work is invisible in vehicle mode.

I'm glad I was able to salvage her. This mold is pretty nice but severely flawed.
Siege Chromia may have similar issues so be careful.

I dislike the Siege Chromia mold so much that the moment that Selects Nightbird was revealed, I went to eBay and purchased a Takara Legends Nightbird made from the Thrilling 30 Arcee mold.

I already have Legend Nightbird but she's deep in storage. The one I got was on sale at 21$CAN so at that price, why not. And with the mods that I made, it went from garbage toy to a nice one.

Ramjet looks pretty cool! I'm not overly fussed about the faction symbols (I'm the monster that put a G1 symbol on my MP G2 Sideswipe so eh) and I really dig the colours. Maybe, maybe...

Generic zombies with no personal identities don't get names, apparently.

Though, I still say it looks more like one of the generic living Seekers seen in the cartoon.

This is just smart thinking on Hasbro's part. Instead of releasing yet another Seeker redeco that everyone buys one of before clamoring for the next redeco, they've released a generic army builder. You say you love Seekers? Go buy a dozen of these, then we'll see about more.
