    I'd just like to point out that the F-22 was designed for internal carriage, and as such--even fully loaded, you won't see ANYTHING hanging off the wings.

    They only load stuff on the wings in peace time, for ferrying flights, or "after they've shot down all the opposition and there's no more SAM threat on the ground, and are being used for bombing like any other plane". And even then it's pretty minimal--max of a fuel tank and 2 missiles on each wing.

    The F-35 is the same way, though it's expected to carry external weapons more often.

    Actually, the F-22 DOES have four external hardpoints, but in its standard air superiority role it wouldnt use them.

    Eh, I like the jet mode but not the robot mode. Good design but not in my "Must buy" list.

    Good point.

    Its an ass feature for an ass toy.

    Why do all of the movie decepticons (except the helicopter) look like such shit?

    Obviously, you didn't bother reading my reply about the feature.

    THE MISSILES DO NOT AUTO-FIRE.

    YOU CAN SPIN THE DIALS MANUALLY WHILE SS IS IN THE AIR. ROLLING THE TOY IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.

    Because most posters don't bother to get the facts before posting shit and THAT is severely annoying. I don't see how it's any more stupid than the bulging lower legs on Ratchet.

    Why does it annoy you so much, eh? Posting in all caps isn't exactly going to get the attention of people that are and wish to remain ignorant.

    Excellent point, and this is part of what ruins the toy for me. It does look like movie Screamer doesn't have big wing cannons, and even if he did, I'm guessing stealth is probably nice, but not a huge priority.
