    He is wildly good. Of all the siege I've picked up, I think he's the one I keep going back to fiddle with and transform back and forth.

    Yeah out of Mirage, Barricade and Impactor that I picked up he’s the one I handle most. I know they made him a tall deluxe but it would have been better if he were voyager and stood taller than Springer.

    I only put them next to each other quickly yesterday

    Out of the original three that I have Starscream is the worst, however both Thundercracker and Skywarp’s are extremely snug. I actually thought that they had put a pin in there.

    This is the new standard in terms of articulation and hollowness for me when deciding on a TF. Forearm plates, spring loaded rear leg plates and no hollowed out thighs. Love the robot and alt mode. If it wasn't for the chest plate issues during transformation(luckily mine is fairly tight), I dare say it would be pretty much perfect. 1                  ss1 (2).jpg

    Vastly superior to Earthrise. It just is. Only thing that has going for it really is the sleek F-15.

    It certainly looks that way. I would absolutely double dip if they nailed the bot mode like this.

    Can we have the next pic? I'm intrigued. Hopefully the feet make him the same size as his partners.

    Awesome.
    I didn't log in and it said Waiting List anyway. But it does say October 2019.

    I've been messing around with some clear resin. This doesn't work because it's too flexible so I have to get a different kind next month. I'm broke right now.

    Also, no waist articulation on the Earthrise version. Total ''BOO''!

    Likewise. I only owned the Acid Storm version of the original classics and for its time it was pinnacle.

    It’s a 10 year old mold and it really shows.

    The only way I’d get it would be if they release a three pack of the original trio like the Siege rainmakers. It’d be nice to have the mold again, just not impressed that they’ve just oversized it and slapped it in a new box.

    The windscreen pegs that pegs on to the front hood when transforming into the alt mode is a bit tighter and the right knee is a bit loose on my Hot Shot, but otherwise there's barely any difference. It's more of a YMMV thing, I think.

    It’s inexcusable for a 2020 generations figure, VOYAGER at that too!

    did they ever bother to fix starscream's chest piece on later releases? or are all the starscreams available now still from the initial tolerances? I love the new wave figures, although mirage's spoiler seems to be just a bit out of alignment so it's always split more toward the front than the back. The transformations are really clever though, and I love how mirage minimizes his hollow spaces.

    Starscreams chest tolerance was fixed on his second release in the line. The same wave as Springer. He also has the G1 con symbols on it(very minor ) as a way to tell.
