    Thundercracker & Starscream are both redecos of the HFTD Terradive mold?

    Or is Thundercracker a redeco of Skywarp in the boxed set (ROTF Dirge mold with new ehad)?

    Ick. Starscream had better receive a new head. Neither Skywarp or Dirge's head would work.

    Oh I was looking forward to that Russian VTOL in MW Thundercracker colours. why duplicate Starscream with Thundercracker rather than Skywarp with Thundercracker ?

    I suppose ideally you'd need 3 different moulds and even better still a bigger toy to base Starscream upon. I'd even not have mined a Black Energon Starscream as at least then the SkyQuake and Starscream would match.

    Well, I'll be eagerly waiting to hear who's in the 2pack with Starscream, so I can get on middlemanning him.

    It'd be a travesty if MW Starscream is made from Terradive. It'd certainly destroy my dream of seeing a proper Skyquake made from Universe Silverbolt as a subscription figure someday.

    Starscream, rumor has it, is from the Terradive mold. And that head bears a resemblance to his Machine Wars face.

    Also, why do people want to see Universe Silverbolt used for Skyquake/Starscream? The only thing the mold has going for it is size - it's not a good mold at all. Terradive is admittedly small but a really good mold.

    Because in this case, size matters. Size can be a defining characteristic of a character. I hate tiny versions of characters that should be rightfully huge. Botcon Overlord and Generations Thunderwing are prime examples of that.

    We've already seen Thundercracker art on the cap - he's clearly from the Dirge mold.

    Probably because it looks a lot like the toys for Skyquake and Starscream.

    I would have picked Prime Dreadwing, but eh.

    I really thought Starscream would be from Universe Silverbolt since it looks the closest to his Machine Wars version

    I am kind of looking forward to seeing a group shot of all the jets in a flight formation. Megaplex out in front with Starscream behind him and TC and SW on his flanks with the Seekers all in the back.
