    Unless we had an obvious tactical advantage I think it's safe to say the US would scramble everything they had. So the answer to your question is: both.

    Aliens tend to attack either DC or NYC in movies. DC does have 22's nearby, there isn't anything stationed right by NYC----the fastest response would be likely 15's from the Massachusetts Air Guard, followed by Vermont's 16's.

    There is also the 138th stationed in Syracuse, New York. They used to be F-16s IIRC but now they fly Reapers I think.

    Thus why I didn't list them. My local squadron also went from F-16's to drones. :( 

    We used to have such a cool logo on ours:

    But the attack in the movie was on a place called "mission city" that was on the west coast, no?

    Exactly. Why wouldn't they scramble the best jet America has to offer? And why wouldn't Starscream scan said jet?

    Damn! I have to agree with some of the other posters on here, this doesn't feel like a KO anymore, its not accurate as some others coming, but I do like the look of it. Like it has a cleaner aspect to the proportions, and is definitely a contender for my money in the 3rd party BB prime wars. I'm actually pretty interested in seeing more of this guy now. Watching this closely! Exciting,time to be collecting!!

    Other than the tiny feet, it does looks really good overall. Not 3A level of good but at an MPM level of good.

    Here is to hoping the radio silence on this figure is them improving them feet.

    Agreed, the face sculpt and tiny feet need work. If those improvements come, this thing would look really really nice for an MPM styled BB prime.

    I also think this is the best version at the moment... The tiny feet are strange in bot mode, but they make alt mode very accurate if you compare to toy world bb OP... Can't wait to see the final product!

    This looks dope. I just picked up the WeiJiang oversized one and I might scoop this at the right price point. The toyworld one is too rich for my blood.

    299 yuan is around 42.5 US$. If it is really that low, that is hella tempting.

    FireScorpion is pretty decent at the moment, they will need to add lights on the truck mode, correct the little head and the mp10 hands. And the LS13 right now is veeeery nice but the details on the legs are very basic. I will keep on eye on this two.

    ToyWorld is my last option.
