Good haul! He looks great with your squad there.
Thank you ^^ I needed some place for those miscellaneous bots to go since I decided to relegate my collection purchases to MTMTE and some combiners. Alpha Bravo was a leftover from when I wanted all the Aerialbots and Optimus, Roadbuster and Chromia were leftovers from when I wanted a shelf of every G1 year - which I've since felt is a mistake due to the sheer money involved and the fact that I'm not getting the toys because I enjoy them like CW Rook or even because they're a character or from a group I enjoy like Generations Nightbeat; but just to fill an arbitrary slot. Becomes a bit depressing when that's how you do toy collecting and I've found much more enjoyment in just collecting MTMTE and whatever toys I think look cool~
But that still leaves these leftovers with nowhere to go... so I decided to shanghai 'em all into a squad and somehow figured Universe Bluestreak would be the best finishing touch. Hey, I wasn't wrong
I definitely agree about the mold. I really do like it after fiddling around with it; the only two annoying things I've found are that he clearly has swivels on his feet for ankle tilting but he can't do it because the rest of the leg gets in the way; and my biggest grievance with the mold, the neck platform sits his head too high. Though it's much easier to get around on Bluestreak than Prowl due to said neck platform being the same colour as the hood chest so it actually blends in and you can kinda create the mental illusion that it's not there unlike Prowl's.
I'm also pleasantly surprised by the wing-door articulation. That's one of my favourite extra points of articulation to get on a winged figure; adored it on Gen. Armada Starscream and I love it here
Gives so much extra character to a figure
