    I honestly could care less about the yellow. The brightness of it just puts me in the mind of the crazy colour schemes that dominated the late-80s to early-90s. It makes a twisted kind of sense having it on the missiles too-- they ARE hazardous, no?

    Anyhow, I like this one. It's nice to see the mould finally used as who it was supposed to be.

    Great gallery, I never noticed that Vortex and Alpha Bravo had the exact same mold. I guess those colours really do very well to differentiate them.

    You know, if Alpha Bravo wasn't the exact same mold, I would be SUPER excited about Vortex. This mold just looks really sharp, and even the oddly bright yellow missiles are forgivable.

    That said, I do like Alpha Bravo a lot. Like Rook and Offroad, the odd figure out is my favorite of the set (discounting massive nostalgia bias for Fireflight, mind you).

    My Alpha Bravo has no stress marks on his port at all. That might change with Vortex but it might not be a problem with every version of the mold.


    I would bet your AB has them. He is difficult to see on. I first noticed them on Blades because of the Red, then checked AB and he does have them. I have two of all three and they all have it. Even the 1 in Sols pictures has them.

    Like Neko said, best thing to do is to shave down the post on the fist/foot to reduce stress.
