    Oh, great! I'll never get the reasoning behind this. Hey, didn't we get a very, very nice deluxe toy for movie Starscream? Yes, yes we did! Didn't we do an even nicer repaint of that mold as Thundercracker? Yes, yes we did! Didn't our partner in Japan did a Skywarp repaint of that mold, too? Why, yes, yes they did! Is there a reason why it wasn't released in the US? No, not really, no. Isn't the G1 appeal directed at collectors that actually remember the classic series, and went through the trouble to import the japanese exclusive Skywarp just so they could have sort of a complete G1 seeker set in that nice mold? Yes, again, yes it is!

    Awesome, now let's act like douches and fucking burn the chance of having the three g1 seekers as movie deluxe mold by RELEASING THIS DECO ON THE LEADER MOLD!!!

    Hey, Hasbro marketing idiots, the G1 seekers are a SET! THEY ARE A SET! If there's two, there's gotta be three! If there's five, there's gotta be six! Haven't you learned anything from the 2007 Botcon exclusives shitstorm??? Seriously, it's probably this one particular executive guy that thinks it's AWESOME to pay homage to a single character and forget about the others, while the rest of the department has to fix it in the next couple of years. Classics, Animated, even the first movie with that hideous voyager mold. It's been like this ever since the then unreleased Universe repaint of BM Jetstorm as Skywarp, this guy must have been doing this year after year exclusively for our annoyance. He's probably the one moron in the corporate meetings that says "who's Dirge??" Please, somebody FIRE this guy already!

    Dammit!

    Calm down. Your over-reaction is just making a fool out of yourself. The deluxe jet set includes normal Starscream, its a DOTM Seeker set, not G1.
    This guy's a standalone homage, like his Red Ironhide partner. The Leader Starscream mold is amazing, the more they do with it the better.

    Apparently anyone that won't suck up to new releases is making a fool of himself here. Whatever, there's no such thing as a DOTM Seeker set, you're rationalizing. It's like releasing two insecticons or five constructicons - plus an unrelated figure to fill in the gap. I guess some people are okay with whatever they get, regardless. More power to them.

    No, you were making a fool of yourself by over-reacting. You don't have to like the figure, but going crazy over it is childish.

    Is there a character that G1 deco SS can be repurpose /rename to? I really like the mold, ok on the colors, but don't want it to be SS.

    I was hoping to get Starscream, but damn what's up with the Umbrella logo on his crotch?! Would definitely keep him in alt mode.... And dammit I want to see G1 Ironidea already!
