    I was thinking something along these lines.
    Alpha Bravo as Cyclonus
    Air Raid as Powerlinx Thrust (to keep uniqueness of Unite Warriors Thrust)
    Wheeljack as Wheeljack
    Groove as Sideways

    Just because Takara did it does not make it off limits for Hasbro.

    I was thinking Powelinx Thrust but not the brown one but the red one that was someone correct me if wrong exclusive to Japan.

    Magnus Prime was originally going to be the TR PM OP mold with Delta Magnus colors, CW UM's accessories, and possible new UM inspired head. But Legends Ginrai happened and Hasbro went the cheaper route, since it was already in production. while giving US collectors the better PW OP mold. This comes from the original TR leaks and the Magnus Prime bio which still refers to the UM missile launchers added to it.

    Yeah that was what I was talking about. The Prime Wars Select Series could mean that the original Magnus Prime idea will finally have a release and I'd welcome it. :D

    I agree not off limits. I was just thinking that Powerlinx Thrust (Red Version, which I did not specify in my original post) could also do double duty as a limb for Starscream.

    As few others have mentioned I would like to see Darkwing (Black Wing) and Dreadwind repainted as Buster and Hydra. I would then use those four limbs for Starscream.

    Of course they wait for me to pick up a second jazz to make Crasher with.

    You might want to edit that post as there's a few CW where it should be TR, which is slightly confusing:

    That really seems like something Takara would have done already for the LG EX line, and I find it odd that those two have such a strong following outside Japan.

    I don't have a strong attachment to the characters, I just want to finish Starscream with two other jet limbs that aren't the "traditional" Seekers. Buster and Hydra work for me as they would just be repaints of Blackwing and Dreadwind. Also would be a nice symmetry. But your are right that would seem more inline with a Takara LG EX release.

    Put it into my veins. Well, change out Red Sunstreaker for Police Sunstreaker/Cordon . . .

    Red was Japanese only, yes. I kind of want both the red and blue Powerlinx decos . . .

    Looks like daddy Hasbro had to pull out the belt again.

    Dual purpose, when Titan Scorponok comes I want him to have his soldiers and Sunstreaker clones are his equivalent of sweeps.
