    I wish I had a interest in Quickswitch. $16 clearance was a steal.

    Now if it was a Metalhawk swap with Triggerhappy, I would have picked it up in a heartbeat.

    It's really not as bad as people make it out to be. It's a bulked up Starscream that is a combiner torso.

    That's fair, but I still think it's rather ugly. To each their own.

    I much prefer it as Elita-1. I don't hate it as Starscream, but I do think it's kind of goofy. As Elita-1, it has a powerful and commanding presence, and in my mind looks more like a leader than a lot of Optimus Primes. I could easily see her leading the Autobot resistance on Cybertron while Optimus Prime and his crew are having their four million year power nap.

    It's definitely a cool figure. It's just the stickers that drive me bonkers.

    But on topic, I wish I took a picture of it, but I saw Ion Storm repacked into a Thundercracker box. I mean, I guess? It's a weird swap to say the least. If I go back to that Target, I'll take a picture.

    I know, I just want a string of bad things to happen to the people who do this.

    not the worst I've ever seen, but still pretty darn tacky. spotted this on my trip to Walmart yesterday.. the figure hadn't been touched, someone purchased it solely for the energon blades. absolutely pathetic. at a time when we're all supposed to be united and looking our for one another, we still have swap-artists out there pulling this kind of crap. I feel sorry for anyone that has nothing better to do with their time than to steal tf accessories. losers.

    Eh, I kind of like it as a toy in it's own right. Either way this is a crappy thing to do.

    Not ”In the wild”, exactly, but my four year old did this repack job:

    I may be dumb, but I’m not -that- dumb. That’s Ultra Magnus.

    Once I had POTP Starscream in hand and had transformed him a few times it hit me, color him green and swap his heads and he would make a good Skyquake.

    Sadly that's the least insulting one I've seen.
