Will, you accidentally called Crosshairs "Crosswise" at one point. I'm pretty sure he is not a monster-hunting Bugatti Veyron
That is DEFINITELY a pearlescent white on Apeface. Only pearlescent plastic has that sheen. It should look just fine in person. I mean, it looks great on this guy:
As for the chunky jet mode... Since they were going for resemblance to the G1 design, there was no helping it on account of the twonk who designed the original giving him oblong beast limbs. A larger wingspan would probably help the looks, but price point strictures are a thing.,, All the same, Apeface is still a "Shut up and take my money" toy for me.
Speaking of "Shut up and take my money"...
Recently acquired Springer, and I find him a joy to look at and play with.
As far as I'm concerned regarding Springer: SIEGE Rules, Thrilling 30 drools!
Well, okay, the transforming rotor sword is nice. But occasionally lending that to SIEGE Springer is the
ONLY thing keeping me from putting the T30 version (which I only bought as filler) up for trade.
