    Perspective - some people have heard of it. Haven't seen the red symbol BB in the wild, and I can confirm that OP and Starscream are without their weapons.

    And yet they can't throw us a nice Skywarp, white Magnus, or Smokescreen. They seriously hate me...

    Seen the black symbol version in Sainsburys today. I like the little border around the logo. :)

    I already have that Smokescreen and turned him into Sideswipe. I mean a Smokescreen that shares the mold with Prowl and Bluestreak. And I'm also aware of that Skywarp, can you find one online? I haven't been able to for months if not a year.

    I've been hunting that Skywarp for a long time, I've never seen one come up anywhere. :(

    I bought it in a case when it came out. And then watched them top $25 on eBay afterwards. Mad.

    Besides we need a version with the Cyberverse peg weapons now

    Any chance of a photo?

    About a year ago I broke down and bought a case, then sold the extras and some of my RtS ones (the japanese ones have better paint) and I more or less paid $10 to get skywarp. I ended up selling the Starscreams for like $5 though, and the Skywarp I got has a scratch on his wing.

    Got the OP & Starscream today:

    Op's variation can just about be spotted through the side of the packaging. Forget trying to spot Starscream's, the backs of his wings face the backs of the packaging. The easiest way to spot both is to buy them off a shelf which has the black BBs

    Me neither, and I have been looking every day.

    I have zero clue as to why Hasbro won't throw us a bone and give us at the very least the primary three Seekers.

    No! I already have Starscream and Thundercracker! Starscream twice, even, in the RTS version and the last release with the GDO weapons.

    Has anyone seen these variants in the US yet? I have all the other BBs, I'll probly pick this one up to be a completionist at something.

    Lightweight: I've got these Legends Starscreams:

    RTS
    EZ Collection v2
    EZ Collection Metallic
    Generations Dollar Store with guns
    TF GO EZ Collection
    AoE

    Plus two Thundercrackers (EZ Collection & GDO) and a Skywarp.

    Optimus is even worse as there's two in the EZ Collection plus I've ordered the clear one. And I've got the Motormouth repaint!

    But if anyone can hook me up we a Safety Prime/Prowl ....

    Finally tracked down the rest of these and did a quick comparison (only the state-side releases) so people know the differences:

    Thought the red Bee in the AOE packaging was just the same as DOTM, but apparently not.
