I might be alone in this but it sucks that there's no indication that you can swap the head and nosecone out for a G1 toy accurate (e.g. non-conehead) head. I loved the packaging art for Dirge et al back in G1 and I hated that that ridiculous-looking mis-transformation became so widespread.

I have the iGear cone heads but I admit, I'd be tempted by this if it were a widespread release.

Hmm, those pics use Hasbro's Starscream, which is a bit odd considering he wasnt a Hasbro Asia release but whatevs.
One thing does suck though and I only realized it now, Ramjet is not show accurate from the back in the least. For one, his conehead is only black on one side, which means that when you pose him, whenever you walk into a room to look at him, unless you are dead on his eyes, his bullet head will appear to be black and white. Thats because the back of his head is all white.
And thats obviously not show accurate at all, as this amazing gif shows:

You're not alone in this. I always displayed all my Decepticon jets with the proper transformation. What worked in the cartoon - does not work on the toy.

A growing minority, we are.

i always liked the conehead look it differentiated them from the standard seekers like they were a new version better than the old version and it gave them a more villainous look

I can't wait to get this! I still love the seeker mold, and this latest update looks great. There are enough changes that I feel like this is a must have for my masterpiece collection.

I agree, definitely! Although it's fairly minor, the conehead nonetheless makes a big difference to the robot mode. And since we've now got Acid Storm, Sunstorm, etc., it'd really be lazy to just do another bunch of identical-apart-from-the-painjob Seekers. Though that Dr. Arkeville/Hologram Pilot sure is turning into a robot equivalent of the village bicycle lol.

Fellow Seibertronians, thanks to a multitude of users and various sources, we now have even more images of the limited edition MP-11NR Ramjet! These new images show off Ramjet in both his modes as well as some comparisons to other masterpiece figures. The previous news can be found Here. . Ramjet is a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan, and is expected to be released to Japan today, with the Hasbro Asia release coming on March 31. Take another look at this guy, and let us know what you think of this guy in the comments section. And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries!

I'm really liking that strange face sculpt. Here's hoping they do a Thrust or Dirge as a more regular, reasonably priced release. I would love to diversify my Con ranks with at least one cone head. Just can't stomach the price they are asking for this guy.

And yet somehow, the "realistic" movie looks goofier than the dated cartoon.

If only I could figure out a way to justify the cost to myself.
