    The Brawn/Fallback mold is a really great figure. I kinda wish there was ankle tilt and a waist for the guy because he would have been SUPER dynamic. Also, I think the mold is a bit backheavy and be sure not to ever take off those pistols because he needs those. Haven't played with the figure in so long, so my memory is a little bad. However for what it was back then, it was really good and I think it definitely fit both Brawn and Fallback really well.

    Pretty awesome, not a must-have offscreen toy but one of the good ones. Definite shellformer so stay away if that bothers you.

    They're totally different figures representing totally different versions of the character. They are both great toys, but I do not think one is a replacement for the other in any way.

    Well I've already fully repainted SS-01 including a gunmetal face so it'd fit SS-49 if I wanted it to, but I actually mean using SS-49's head on SS-01, not the opposite. I don't actually give a shit about SS-49 but the masked head for SS-01 would be worth it for me for $5 off.

    So... it fits right?

    Check your ziploc again. I think they’re still rotten. If you have a new twist on an old favorite then don’t hold back. Dance for our amusement.

    Ah. Well if SS-01’s head fits on SS-49, then that should mean the reverse is also true. Personally I had a very hard time and couldn’t even pull 49’s head off. Otherwise I’d check firsthand for you

    There are only 41 instances of "scrotum" in this thread, including people just quoting others who said it. Most of them within the past year. You guys brought the "stale joke" problem yourselves, lol.

    I think the people who have the balls to bring up the stale jokes are just trying to save face, because they know they've used them themselves too much. It's corroding the fabric of our community here on TFW.

    They really botched the characterization of Starscream in the Bayverse.

    There’s always the possibility that he was treacherous under the facade of being a cuckish submissive coward, but they didn’t do anything with it.

    Hux from the Star Wars sequel trilogy felt a lot more like “Starscream”, although that franchise completely wasted that character as well.

    He might have been a groveling loser but he was definitely one of the most effective Starscreams, he got shit done

    until bay decided he needed a spit fetish and the ground-based physical coordination of a 5th grader on 800 mg of spiked adderall and about a kilo of quality coke

    this is the canon live-action shockwave. The shockwave who let a tiny squishy meat beast land on his head and shoot into his sinuses with no retaliation? I simply do not know him.
