    I wish these figures would be available at a more reasonable price. That Starscream and Megatron look great.

    It's a shame that they made no effort to rectify the shoulder issue with the Blitzwing mold.

    Thank you for the picture (even if it isn't yours)!

    Stupid me, I just assumed that was a pin hinge there and never even thought to look at it closely enough to see the difference.

    Yeah, that will affect how the jet mode looks.

    It's not enough for me to be concerned about it since those are tailfins and the only jets in the world that have tailfins set at that angle don't have flaps on those tailfins. Even going by known human engineering, being turned the other way would only moderately affect the jet's flight stability, and the movement possible from the horizontal tail stabilizers could easily compensate.

    Of course, since Cloud Starscream hadn't even left Cybertron when gaining this body, concerns about human flight engineering can be thrown out the window and the backwards tailfins would just just give the jet a uniquely interesting look (at least by my standards).

    Now I just need to wait for a pre-order and hope the price doesn't make my wallet wail like a banshee.

    Now, now. I love Generations Blitzwing, but you cannot deny that the loose shoulders damaged its quality.

    Wow. That Blitzwing/Doubledealer body looks good for Starscream. I have no intention of getting it, but I gotta hand it to HasTak, it's working for Starscream, even though it's difficult to believe that SS would ever transform into a tank.

    That Unicron head is cool, would be cooler if it was a playset for legends figures, that I could justify buying metroplex eye and we would need Trypticon's transformation cog.

    That Starscream kind of looks cool, but I already have 2 Starscreams and Blitzwing. But I'm really looking forward to Cloud Optimus. I was recently on a shopping spree and bought Ultra Magnus and Black Optimus Prime as well and cait wait to see how they look side to side :D  :D  :D

    So that Grimlock and Prime, like Alpha Trion, are essentially action masters,right? Pretty much my dream line would be super articulated cartoon accurate tfs, but that price...

    I have never heard the term used this way. "Redeco" refers to color only, in my experience, and has no overlap with retool or remold.

    Well, I just used the "Search this forum" feature for the news forum and searched by post. I'm fairly sure the search missed many instances of redeco as it only came up with one post containing the word in this thread (despite their being what? 3? 4? posts with that word), but here's another of it being used as such in a previous thread that was found by that search:

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/965218-upcoming-rodimus-prime-redecoed-voyager-springer-post10326880.html?highlight=redeco#post10326880

    It appears you'll have to manually look around to find more examples as the search function doesn't seem to be working that well. Of course, nothing is preventing you from using the search function and finding a few more examples like that, that's entirely up to you. However, it appears that regardless of what you choose on whether or not to search on this, you have missed instances of overlap between redeco and retool/remold.

    Are those MP-03's Null Rays?

    Redeco means colors have been changed.

    Remold/retool means parts have been remolded.

    Chances are very high that if something has been remolded, it's also be redecoed (but not always, such as the Legends figures retooled to have 3mm compatible hands). The overlap is VERY hihgh.

    Okay, I looked at three threads. Vast majority use it like "recolor."

    These are ambiguous uses:
    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...-transformers-sightings-4628.html#post8473619
    This is how I might use the word when referring to, say, GDO Megatron. It's a redeco plus retool.

    Changes in the mold are very slight.
