    I see a replacement for my Classics Screamer in my future.

    WAY too plain looking imo. Even by watered down "G1 show accurate" standards ala the Henkei paint jobs, it's still lacking.

    EDIT: By no means was I trying to steal your thread Tamo. I am impressed by your new Sceamer. I may bite but I am still thinking on it.

    Thanks kenm2474, but I meant the new Screamer with the Seekers, which Tamo posted.

    I want this guy so badly.

    Looks ok, but I like the paint apps on the Henkei one better. I'm still planning on getting this one, the Henkei, and the original Classics release next to both new Henkei seeker releases :p

    So this is the umpteenth use of the mold and they skipped out on the paint apps, nice. Looks like my Henkei Screamer remains safe for the time being.

    Looks way better than the original Classics Screamer does. I'll take this 'plain' deco over that one's plain, unpainted face.

    I prefer the Henkei version... this one looks a bit cheap to me.

    Kinda funny how fewer paint apps accomplishes a greater cartoon-accuracy.

    I already have this preordered at hts. I am thinking of either buying a second one to repaint into tc instead of repainting my current classics screamer because the universe one is so white. Will be my first try at repainting a figure so I will be very careful and patient.

    If this keeps us from getting a Sunstorm, I'm going to be mighty pissed off.

    1.You have mad radicon skills, I'm sure you could make one in your sleep.
    2.Hasbro said in their Q&A Sunstorm's on the list for Seekers to make already, we were even supposed to get him instead of Acid Storm, so as long as the mold dosen't die anytime soon we'll get one.

    He looks great, but I'm beginning to think that he's too white for my tastes. It'll probably come down to an in-person decision. I'll probably get him, as this deco will go better with the Skywarp and Thundercracker that I have. The original seems to dark when compared to the others, and this'll stick out nicely against them. Just curious, could you post up comparisons pictures with a Classics Skywarp? Thanks in advance if that's possible :D 

    Edit: Just saw you posted this:

    He looks good next to Skywarp, imo, and my Thundercracker's blue isn't too far off of that one. I'll probably get him, but I'm still not 100% sure yet. Any chance of an alt-mode comparison?
