    I feel the same. The black reprints kind of disappear on my shelves too. I will say that I think I like the black repaints better so far though. Decisions, decisions.

    Definitely more into the regular version myself. Still wish the head sculpt was different but it's not a deal breaker

    Dark meat vs white meat. Plenty of El Pollo Locco for everyone. I might get both myself for full nutrition.

    Both decos look cool but I'm finding myself weirdly hung up on white Buster's black hat.

    So we should expect Buster Skywing and Galactron next year.

    If 3P market dies due to regulations in the long run, I will be damn happy if they finish with a lineup having Cyclonus and Scourge to flank Galvatron, then the Seekers and Soundwave to flank Megatron. Lastly, Bumblebee, Rodimus and Ultra Magnus for the Autobots.


    The silver face on Stealthwing really make it a homage to Dancougar. It is funny how it is also a homage to the recolor of Classics Skyfire into Shattered glass and then the black and gold colour scheme is courtesy of Bayverse Jetfire. The proportions are a homage to Japanese robots.

    Awesome! The wait for this guy hasn't been easy but I love what I'm seeing. The black helmet's kinda grown on me, too.

    I thought these looked really nice in person. The helmet bugged me in pics but looks fine to me when I’m looking at the figure at the show.

    look back 4-5pgs people were discussing how there seem to be some interesting line/parts that look to be able to be taken apart on buster skywing and then were thinking their were places on Striker Manus that looked like he could have armor added or the ability to upgrade with more armor, that's the jist of it anyways, again rumor, wishes&hope, and discussion nothing more

    I do like some good old theorising. I’ll look and see if I can understand/add anything.

    Ooh good idea! If it can combine then it’s a perfect homage.
