Armada Starscream/Thundercracker Mini-cons = WTF?

I came closer to completing Hasbro's release of Transformers: Armada, I recently acquired Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and since the mold is slightly sexy, Universe Ramjet. The problem is Starscream and Thundercracker's mini-cons. I thought they came from the same mold, Street Team Mirage. However my Swindle and Zapmaster don't have rotatable waists. Is this some mold defect or is this normal for everyone?

Yeah..there are some acute differences. I have the street team and Micron Legend Starscream. I think there are also changes in how the head pushes down in one of the molds. I guess they did that so you don't think of him as just a repaint. I still want Starscream Supermode and Thundercracker too. I love TC's minicon!!!

Yeah, I want the Takara version of the figures too. I dislike the sloped canopy section of the Hasbro Armada seekers.

I meant to say Skywarp in my previous post. BTW, did they ever release Skywarp in the Micron Legend line? I also know that the wings are designed a bit differently as well. Having played with my MC Starscream I have noticed the difference in wings as well.

Yeah, it's another case of two distinctly different molds sharing similar transformation and/or body shape. In fact I think Mirage is actually a bit bigger, or at least bulkier.

Looks like I'll be carrying this from now on.

I never knew you let it go in the first place...
