    So throwing other continuities out there makes you right?
    If we look at generations as a whole every mold got at least all 3 except for the bare bone takara ghost and the potp one.
    That is all I care about anyways g1.

    Despite only discovering Redwing from the Select listings, I sort-of want one!

    There's something about owning one design in multiple colours, especially when one is in a brand-new colour... FB_IMG_1557174421317.jpg

    That's actually FIVE G1 related mentions. Only Energon, Cybertron and Cyberverse are alternate continuity. The rest are G1-sequel or neo-G1. Not sure why you're fighting facts here...

    Man, whoever's in charge of these Selects at Hasbro really loves red and black,
    first Red Swoop and now this... I'll wait to see what he comes with/how it looks as a toy,
    but personally I would have preferred Bitstream or Sunstorm before Redwing.

    Since they're doing the whole "More Than Meets the Eye Part 1" vibe for SIEGE,
    I think any of the other 3 jets--including Nacelle--would have made more sense.

    That said, I personally hope (though it's probably not too likely)
    that we might get a Slipstream retool out of this WFC mold.
    To do it right, it would probably involve 60%+ of the parts being retooled,
    but it would be great to have another Voyager class fembot.

    I would love this. But I have my doubts. Slipstream has been neglected in terms of "serious" figures, but they have made a few of her recently and that makes me despair that we will ever get one to pair with Siege Decepticons, or even MP figures.

    I remember the black uniform for those legos, really sought after.

    But yes a main line serker mold really is a wanted repaint.
    I hope for Acid Storm and Sunstorm.
    But looking how thwy milk molds these days I have little worry they will squeeze out every penny for this mold.

    I’m thinking about this guy since we haven’t seen pics. And especially after seeing smokescreen. I wonder what the deco will be like? Since redwing has repeated colours in different spots compared to starscream.

    Entirely red with a white nose tip and some black leftover from the robot mode legs on the underside. And black nulrays.

    Starscream is mostly grey with red parts and blue highlights.
    Redwing is Red with black lega and arms with white highlights. Which is very much different.
    What could help even more is having a different color red. But I don't know if they will do that.

    See but the issue I see is they can’t make the molds in different colours from which they are the three seperate ones.

    See red wing’s sources of red come from the shodulers, torso, wings and shins.

    See we can replace the grey for red but then the hips will be red.

    Even basing off the classics art is hard cause there are spots of white which can’t be done cause they’d be a part of the red parts.

    And that's where factory-applied paints come in!

    Might depend on how the mold breakout is too. If the lower legs, upper arms, and bicep are tied together, those parts could theoretically be molded in white.

    I'm not sure where the original 1984 character design was created, as that wasn't something that Fun Pub put together, I'm guessing a fan applied his deco to the original design (which left out a lot of the white).

    Since Skywarp lacks his purple shoulders and guns, I don't have a lot of confidence that Red Wing will have the deco layout that Fun Pub put together. As he was going to require a lot of paint for the Classics mold, and I think that's going to be true for the Siege version.

    They might be better off making Starscream's red parts white, if they want to get some white on him and painting his arms and lower legs isn't an option or if the mold breakout doesn't allow it. Or even better, maybe they can make his limbs all white, the chest parts red, the fist and feet black, and all the jet parts red. Things like this might be possible depending on how it's split up.

    I had suggested back when they were working on this deco that the nosecone end up as white or red (rather than say black). But the Legends mobile game ended up coloring it black later on.

    I'm hoping the green eyes carry through and he doesn't have red.

    I just hope he's not all red and black without any white.

    Yeah. See I think the parts are separated by colour. As we can see on smokescreen who is filled with black all across his robot instead of red. Much like how prowl has all the same parts in black.

    I think your idea on making the red white and grey red would be a good idea.

    If it is the top image then it is rather easy. Only thr upper legs need paint. I can walk to my shelf and pick 50 figures with more paint aps than that require. Also red is easy to cast. And to be fair it isn't certain all the grey parts from Starscream are from the same sprew.

    If they did it like the Classics art I'd be happy to repurpose him as Armada Starscream.

    One of the biggest selling points about the select series is the amount of paint on them. I’m pretty sure that a select series seeker would have all his colors on him.
