Having known, I wouldn't have imported mine from Amazon.jp.

Hey everyone, raise your hand if you never made a bad toy decision due to FOMO.

Shattered Glass Starscream is the tenth by my count, though some collectors intentionally exclude him since he's not a standard continuity Decepticon.

I hope you're able to! I think he comes in the mail tomorrow but he'll be my only siege seeker
Hotlink looks a little too much like skywarp for me
I thought Redwing looked too much like Starscream at first but he's grown on me little by little

Might call this guy Skyquake though

Same, Red Wing and Hotlink are my favorite uses of the mold, in that order. Red Wing's colors really pop, and I also love that we got a figure of a character who owes his entire existence to a comic coloring error and a massive misunderstanding.

Mine will be called Skyquake too.

There's another consensus for Shitstorm. Much more funny and relevant to his overall look, despite Skyquake being a "proper" name.

Yeah, that's his internet forum handle, for sure. LOL - I even said "I picked up Shitstorm today" on my Action Figure Facebook group when I got him on Friday.

Hmm...I kinda like that better. Reasons -

Usually a Seeker's name implies an ability or quality they have. Skyquake doesn't sound like anything other than another way to say "Thundercracker". Slaughterhouse makes him sound like a stone cold badass killer.
