The one face makes him look like some creepy old car salesman.

A little pricier than I though. Nice pics though.
The bottom face looks pretty oofy to me.

That mold looks great in black! I wonder if there will be any purple markings on the wings?
Agreed that the second face looks a bit 'odd' - I'm not sure quite what it's representing?!
Better put my name down for one of these babies!

That second face would make dogs whimper. Hope that's improved before the release.

So I'm not the only one that thinks that "buck toothed grin" Skywarp is a little... er, strange...
Either way, I never got Starscream since I've never really been a big fan of seekers, and if I had to pick I'd get something show accurate... Maybe I'll have to get this one.

I wasn't planning on getting this guy anyways, but that face is in no way inspiring me to change my mind...
He looks like Jason Vorhese ... somebody put a hocky mask on him.

I doubt very much that that is the final face. There's no way they would release a toy that looks like that.

Haha, WTF? He looks so demented. Or should I say warped?
I was never a fan of this mold, with that Lego block of a head sculpt and the stupid hip kibble. I don't buy that idiot designer's excuse for the kibble. It should not have been there. Was MP Prime based accurately on a real truck cab?

Having said that, I'm torn on getting this. It's ugly in some ways, and awesome in others...

I don't realy like the snarling face, but otherwise this guy is pretty bad ass!
I just hope they don't put orange safty tips all over him.

Yeah I gotta say i have mixed thoughts on the snarl face, its not exactly very cool.. I mean its ok.. but it serems off in some ways..
I do however like his coloring..I am disappointed that they went with another pilot figure.. i was hoping they would trash the whole pilot and give him a Megatron Pistol.. that would be better, and they could show the image where he's holding Megatron from the show credits, and episdoe 3..
Still he's a big improvement color scheme wise over Starscream.. But I do believe with the remolded head sculpts, they should have done a little better on the accessory, namely removing the stupid pilot thing, and substituting the Megatron pistol..
I do hope the wing markings are done correctly, something tells me though that he's not set in stone and that there may be some changes between now and final production.. i hope its a rework of the second face.. it needs refining..

Until they make the mold bigger, I don't think I'll be interested in getting any of the seekers.

The gnashing face reminds me of Eek the cat.

I guess you won't be getting any of the seekers then, because they aren't making the molds bigger, unfortunately...and they aren't gonna reculpt the feet and remove the hip kibble, and they will include stupid pilots in all of their releases apparently..

Wow. I guess Thundercracker's gonna get a "punched in the face" face mold then. That looked terrible.
