Saw Canonball today and picked him up... not too keen on the neon green Skullz, but I remember that there way to remove paint apps.

 

Was it rubbing alcohol that took off things like the flames on Alt. Skidz, etc.?

 

Otherwise, the rest of the black / silver / tan looks pretty cool.

I'll just stick to my LOC Skywarp.

I bought Canonball and Skywarp on Friday.  Canonball rocks.  Skywarp looks nice, but his left arm is even looser than Thundercracker's.  A very bittersweet purchase for me.  I would have taken him back, but I don't suspect it is any better with any other Skywarp.  I may just have to see what I can do personally to fix it.

So, you're out to plunder the booty then?

I kind of thought he would be black with purple accents, but I guess he'd still look too much like Thundercracker. Oh well. Thundercracker should have been more blue anyway.

No, this would have been perfect.

I know I would have liked it that way. :(

I never liked the mold to begin with. I give them credit for a mostly kibble-free jet mode (a lot of credit, actually), but the arm thing was just silly. And his shoulder mechanism was about as stable as the Cyberjets'.

Which makes sense considering the Thundercracker mold is based on G2 Smokescreen. I like that mold, but when they reworked it for Cybertron, it didn't seem to come out as well. I like the way TC and SW lok, especially as jets, but the bot modes didn't work very well at all.

I thought Energon Starscream was a lot closer to G2 Smokescreen.... as in, a lot closer. Cyb Thundercracker reminds me of G2 Hooligan or someone like that.

I don't see the G2 Smokescreen similarity with Cybertron Thundercracker. The transformation has barely any of the same characteristics, if any.
