"Love those stickers!" - Glad someone does.
Rank a 6? Pretty low-ranked General.
Very cool figure. Not perfect, but still cool.

Haha - yeah I was being sarcastic on both counts. I despise the stickers with a passion!! Every AM figure I say to myself will be my last - but I just keep going there
As for the rank, I suppose if I were to make any sense of it in a story line, I would say that he is a General within Starscream's seeker/jet Vehicon army, and hence, lower on the overall totem pole. I know... It's a stretch lol! Totally agree that is turned out pretty well despite some deco flaws. Looks great on the shelf!

Glad I cancelled my pre-order. I wasn't crazy about the micron ports all over it and really dislike the sticker thing, but thought maybe it would still look pretty decent. Its far too bland for my taste and that center chest looks pretty bad compared to the clear overlay piece and insignia on the PRID Vehicons. So wish we had gotten a Hasbro Jet Vehicon release

That's a great point - you'd think that a toy that could be seen as an army builder would be one of the first releases by Hasbro. I thought the prid Vehicon sold well - at least in my area.... Oh well... As is, it is not bad. I just wish Takara would drop the prime AM stickers and just go back to paint!! They do it so well. Ah well, the AM line will most likely be done soon enough... I wonder if the Takara Beast Hunters line will be stickers?

Honestly, there was not a single time I walked into any of the Big 4 retail stores that didn't have either a Bumblebee, a Cliffjumper, or a Wheeljack during the time that the PRID toys were sold.

Oh man, I had totally forgotten about that. It seemed as if for months there was nothing but an endless seas of 'Bee's and Cliffjumpers.

He's so plain...I bet he thinks this review is about him. 
This mold looks so much better in black. Its just weird they didn't paint the whole thing silver. It's like they went over budget with the micron, so they could only afford to paint the roof.

Now I can't get Carly Simon out of my head lol
I like the figure pretty well, but you have a valid point. The whole Takara sticker thing is crazy considering what they *can* do with paint.

A little to bland for my taste.... chrome him up though, and give him the black head he is supposed to have, then I'll buy.

That would look sweet! Surely some people will start customizing him soon enough. Looking forward to see what people do. To bad Takara didn't do it! (but he is pretty cool as is.. just upsetting to think what could have been!)
