    Curse you, I just ordered him!

    Kidding. I did order him, but it had more to do with being weak about Starscream and not being able to resist a package deal.

    It's nice looking, but I like the colors on iGear's a bit more. Perhaps a combination of the two schemes on the MP-11 mold would work.

    I'll let you know how they compare in a few days. I love the iGear one, personally.

    I love mine. I think it looks much better in person than in pictures. The coronation set looks cool in semi-transparent purple, but is a useless accessory. Something different would do the toy more justice. The all-chrome Arkeville is pretty lame as well. So to sum my opinion up: Great figure, crappy accessories, worth the money :)

    IDK, I think the chrome pilot is great - changes it up from the translucent one that Starscream gets.

    Those are some excellent pics. I might have to see what I can do about acquiring all of those.

    Wow! Those pics are nice, TB77! While you aren't responsible for me ordering him, I do believe you have officially convinced me! ;)  This is one of the rare times where the item itself actually looks better than the promo pictures. I think I'll order him once Ironhide and Unicron come in on BBTS so I can ship them all together.

    Holy crap, these pics are seriously testing my "impulse buy" discipline to the Tee.

    Maybe want to customize some flames as accessories somehow...using something like this...

    Hot glue for tangible flame effects.

    I seem to recall Spurt Reynolds doing that for his custom Animated Sunstorm a few years back.

    I'm fine with the iGear Sunstorm. It mateches the rest of my MP Seekers and I prefer Orange to Yellow. But if you really like Seekers and the character I don't see why it wouldn't be worth it to you :) 

    :lolol  :lolol  :lolol  :lolol  :lolol  :lolol 

    Oh wait, you were serious? Sad.

    Hey LadyS, just in case you get a but waffy just before purchase. I literary just completed my seekers set and Sunstorm is my favorite. My reasons, It's the MP-11 mold and has the highest quality paint job on it. While it's not the thick quality enamel that Takara used on the MP-03 molds IMO it's slightly better then MP-11 Screamer and lets not even discuss Has MP TC... MP-11s is just great all around

    :lol  Good One! My sig is so old. I actually had planned on changing it to MP Seekers (TRU TC in the middle of course), same dialogue, but I haven't got around to it yet.

    Back on the topic of Sunstorm, here is an older pic of some of my Sunstorm Collection

    Also have these guys (not pictured above)

    Besides the MP-11S which I am ordering soon, I seem to only be missing the little clear orange animated ez collection Sunstorm.
