I kept hoping people were simply not being careful enough with the transformation.

To me, it's essentially "The Classics Seeker mold but more the size it should have been", so as far as an Earth Mode toy for them I can't really complain too much. Especially since A. it lends itself well to the Coneheads and B. It's a Voyager Earth-mode G1 Seeker mold without the chunk of PotP Starscream.
Honestly, that gap between the chest ducts and the intakes is pretty tiny, looking at the photo. It'll probably look more like a molded recess in hand. And the torso side gaps look to be more covered than they are on the Classics Deluxe mold. Another plus compared to the Classics figure is that the face is actually covered in jet mode.
The only real downgrade compared to the SIEGE Seekers is the lack of waist rotation, but that's a minor hit for how nice he is overall. Especially since the feet on this mold look like they'll actually work reliably with the C.O.M.B.A.T. system. Which is NOT the case with the SIEGE Seekers, thanks to a combination of the toe and heel pieces getting in the way, and mold issues preventing the engine halves from closing up properly (which leaves the sockets too loose to hold pegs).
You're the best at collecting and we should all learn from this wisdom.Counterpunch wrote:

Most of this line has been found in the US aside from the Battle Master class, so if you find that please let us know. And if any international members find the Earthrise figures, let us know.

The only two who I care about personality wise is Skywarp and Thundercracker, so I don't see myself picking up figures with less articulation and a boring alt-mode. No offense to those who love the F-15 Eagle design but I just find a plane jet boring.

Here's a video review if you want a look at his transformation.

Also, is this news? I don't remember video reviews for Starscream or Grapple being previously posted.

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.
