Really hoping we get those (or some other Seeker we haven't gotten, like Sunstorm or Slipstream) rather than Thundercracker and Skywarp. I'm aware this statement could piss some people but it would make sense Starscream is the only seeker in this trilogy to be done twice purely because of how big a seller he is and how he's one of the 'household' names in the series.

I don't have both, only the Siege version, but comparing that to the photo Will posted, they look to be completely identical, down to the plastic tie going through both of his fist holes.So the answer is "no" then, got it. I mean, yes a straight repack appears to be the intention and 99% likely to actually be the case, but hearing assumptions like that thrown around as fact for years on some Superlink and Galaxy Force items that were merely very similar but not identical after all scarred me.william-james88 wrote:I saw that written on the boards where this latest picture comes from and I also saw in the image that his legs still have all that gunk.

It's ok Scotty 2 Hotty, we're here for you.
Well, I can't help.

... dang it I'm gonna end up buying the one up the road for science aren't I?

Seems like a pretty prominent character from G1 who hasn’t gotten any run over the last few series- no?

Coming from someone who owns both PotP Jazz and Selects Ricochet, that mold is a better foot than a bot.ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He was in Power of the Primes two lines ago, and you can't really improve upon the perfection that was Reveal the Shield Jazz.cackman17 wrote:I don’t mean to come out of left field on this one- but am I the only one thinking Jazz as really gotten a raw deal?

Well, you could give him properly 5mm-compatible hands (his seem to be a bit off), but yeah. He could stand a reissue though, it's been a while.

I mean they overcame the cockpit paradox they’ve mastered waist swivel technology for Primus’s sake there’s no excuses.
Well, there's more to it than that. There's also the fact that the chest needs to be able to open up for the arms to tuck into the torso. Between accommodating that joint, and accommodating the cockpit, there's just no room for a waist swivel.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Stargrave wrote:Seems to me like if they could give Siege Starscream a waist swivel, and Jetfire a waist swivel, ER Starscream should have a waist swivel.

*takes a close look, then watches a video of the transformation*
Ahhhh, that's what they meant with eliminating it for the sake of transformation! For some reason, the cockpit piece has an extension in the back. The slot it leaves behind is for the hinge of the nosecone when it's lowered in robot mode position (unlike the Classics mold, it's attached to the cockpit, not the head, so it sits lower), that extension then ends up sliding into the waist area, effectively blocking it (even more with the skirt in front and the flap in the back).
