I could start a new thread now if you like.

The new pics just make him look even better. I am absolutely amazed at how accurate the alt mode is for this guy and how good it really looks. 

My favorite part is that they use the wing structure to hide all the alt kibble of the nosecone inside the body.. Sorta like thundercracker, only better done.

 

Woot.

nother photoshop:

Thats a nice digibash there LR. I think that if you changed the color of his face to the color that you used for his weapons, you'd have a better looking bot tho. Idk, maybe not. Also, does anyone think that the "silver" on Screamer would end up being like the "silver" on MP Convoy? Think about it. Convoy's legs and waist peices were a light gray plastic. Wouldn't that be about the right color for SS's vehicle mode? obviously with the appropraite accents of blue red and white. I could be wrong...

here we go:

I don't suppose someone would mind photoshopping it into Sunstorm, Dirge, Thrust, and Ramjet... yeah, I know the last three had mold changes with the wings, but I'd like to see how their colors would look like on this mold (especially since you know Hasbro's gonna find a way to give us all 7 color schemes if they know we'd buy it no matter what).

Again with the sucky quality, but until I get my graphics tablet running or someone with actual talent comes along, it'll have to do.

Cool. Now how are they gonna get the cones off their butts and onto their heads?

Just glancing and trying to visualize the transformation scheme, I'm thinking it'll be an element where the whole of the main wing rotates 180 degrees and slides into position. the nosecone probably rotates down towards the legs, rotating in the process as well.

Answer: they aren't

 

the amount of retooling that would be necessary for second-tier :Dc jets = not worth it for TakaraTomy IMO

 

edit: Hey wait a second.. how come the jet canopy only has one arch brace thingy? The F-15 should have two.

 

P.S. that nosecone where it is makes Starscream look like he's got a turtle head poking out

i would be happy with simply some added wing detailing....

 

but seriously - i doubt id get more than the three main ... and maybe not even that

They did give us RiD, TRU G1 Reissues, Universe BW figs that were previously unreleased, Supercon A Prime, TRU Megs and Prime SL, Supreme Scream, and not so Supreme Scream, 20th Prime, Alts, Alts that aren't in Japan, Unreleased giant planet figs, Titanium.....

 

Okay, you're right.  Hasbro doesn't love releasing Japanese figures over here, but it has been known to happen.  However, I do NOT believe this is going to be released as an Alternator even if it does make it over here.  I wouldn't complain about cheap, all-plastic seeker repaints, mind you, I just don't think it's going to happen.
