Schweet!
I'll have to get two for an emergency head
transplant for Starscream.

And they said nothing good happens after 2am! :grin: :grin:

Edit: This is a Voyager right? About the size of CLA Jetfire? If so sweet.

Yeah and I needed to be in bed about 3 hours ago. I have to get up in 5 ... tomorrow is going to suck. Tonight is the 3rd night in a row that I've been up way past my bed time working on Seibertron.com.

Hanging out at my buddy's place tomorrow night for Thursday Night comedy night on NBC. Will work on the Revoltech and Beast Wars 10th anniversary galleries tomorrow night while watching the comedies with my friends. :)

Still can't like it...I can't justify G1 repaints of Movie toys. And I like the movie TF's for the most part...

I like the face. It looks more humanoid.

Now that doesn't look too bad. Better than Starscream that's for sure.

That's an odd placement for the faction symbol. Does Starscream have it on his tailfins, too?

Anybody else find it a bit odd that Hasbro gave the movie people the go-ahead to make Starscream's head the way they did(I would assume they would have had to, given that it's their IP), only to scrap it for a more traditonal seeker head when his repaints started rolling around?

I really want to like this line, but...ah don't feel like getting into it right now.

Anywho, thats an awful lot of kibble. Looks better than Starscream though.

this head + this body sculpt make up for the suckiness that was cybertron thundercracker.

I don't know why Hasbro are now using Bayformer molds to create non movie transfomers.

Just so the line has some consistency, I suppose.

I think he looks like a cross between Armada Thundercracker and
Movie Starscream. The head and colors look Armada Thundercracker's and the body looks like Movie Starscream.

its that old adage ain;'t it? you can't have one seeker without the others

and you can't have one figure without a ton od repaints and remolds

I'm apparently the only person who hates that new head, looks hideous to me. The Movie Starscream head may not look like Starscream, but I still think it looks a hell of alot better then that one.

Rattrap in your avatar reminds me of Starscream.

I'm not fussed about Thundercracker's head. I don't hate it. I don't love it.

My sentiments exactly. G1 colours just don't work on movie toys. Especially not on the F22 mold, you can say what you want about Movie Starscream, but at least his colour scheme makes sense.

This guy just looks strange, like he doesn't know what generation of transformers he belongs to. He looks like some time-travelling experiment gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I still think it looks terrible even with the slightly less horrendous face. In jet mode the gaps pretty much ruin the sleek surface of the irl life raptor and his head still pokes out of his bum.

At least this way if Skywarp is released as an exclusive it won't be taken quite so harshly, and the odds are looking good that 'Ambulance Ratchet' will have a slightly more G1 head.

I am not a robotic technician or a genius of the field (so, correct me if I am wrong), but, wouldn't have the Starscream/Thundercracker being so top heavy make him walk a bit clumsy- like the way the AT-ST walked in Return of the Jedi (even though the AT-ST's legs are reversed)?
