It's disturbing that the MORE expensive figure has LESS paint apps, regardless if three pieces of the mold were dipped in chrome.

Ha! I didn't realize it at first, but that Popsicle is Gari Robo-kun.Mkall wrote:I love the shot with the Popsicle!

I think that's very probably supposed to be Thundercracker instead of Starscream since the rest of the mini-figures are all based on the Thrilling 30 Wave 1 and 2 Deluxes, which Thundercracker (but not Starscream) was a part of.

Hope this can help. Here are some photos from the Tokyo Toy show of how Takara managed to fit both guns on their version:Seibertron wrote:(I can't figure out where the extra weapon is supposed to attach in vehicle and city modes).

He already knows, Sabrblade. But how would you be able to tell single-colored Seekers apart aside from looking at their number (Starcream is #35, Thundercracker is #34 and Skywarp is #33)? Besides, the design is the same so any Seeker would do for comparisons.
A thought just occurred to me. What if Takara's remolded new ports for the guns to attach to? I'd hope not.Seibertron wrote:In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to get the gun to attach like it does in those pictures. I'm not having any luck yet.
