I recently purchased a G1 TRU Reissue Starscream, and found to my horror it had these pathetically long missiles - it wasn't a reissue at all!
My question is: is the Takara Encore Starscream going to have the original size and shape missiles/null rays gun attachments, or will they be the goofy looking TRU style?
Please note: the photos on the TRU reissue shows the original style/size missiles, and therefore do not rely just on stock pictures when answering this post. (hopefully someone out there has seen these or has seen a review).
thanks!!

They will be short and Optimus Prime's smokestacks will be long.
Children will play, Angels will sing, the sun will shine and all will be good and wholesome in the world again!

Japanese reissues, like Encore, do not have to conform to US toy laws, so it will have regular short missles. Prime will also have long smokestacks.

Interesting note on this:
I prefer the long missles for Thundercracker. They look, like I would imagine a sonic attack weapon would.
