Really wanted to see the three Rainmakers, plus Air Warrior and Sunstorm. Head looks a little big. Legs look a little short. Do they pull out any farther?

I hope Impossible Toys remembers to write a bio and give them tech spec numbers, maybe on a card.

They should try to get someone to write the bio who speaks english as a first language, and preferable someone who doesn't copy and paste something from Wikipedia, like on the Alpha Traon box. I know bios are a bit of an afterthought for a third party Transformer, but sometimes a well written bio can help sell an average toy.

I may be in the minority (or the entirety of the minority for that matter) but I'd rather have seen the rainmakers made into the Tetrajets. I've got so many Starscreams, Thundercrakers, and Skywarps, that I really don't need them in this particular Cybertronian form. Pretty neat nonetheless.

The thread says "teaser", so not everything is being revealed right away.

That's a really fiddly transformation, if even someone from Impossible Toys gets lost doing it.

I'm not really feeling it. It's a neat idea, but the product itself is completely unimpressive.

Rebelor, Prankstor? Sounds like MOTU names...

Proportions look off... maybe the heads are just a tad too big?

I hear nice qlicking and locking of the joints. Starscream looks great and I love the built in landing gear, cant wait to get these.

Yuck the back looks way too huge and the wings are just there and I can see issues with wings happening like stressing and breaking with how those panels are just tabbed on.

This looks to be a fiddly and fragile looking toy.

It's neat that they were able to get a Tetrajet to transform into a (mostly) G1 looking Seeker toon botmode but he just has too many things wrong with him for me to even consider picking it up.

Not feeling it but hope it interests someone.
