    Oh, it looks very much better than Meteor. Correct sized head and hands, for starters.


    And yet, here you are complaining about it when the line has been cartoon-oriented for a while now.

    You may be right on the waist swivel. Now that I've seen more pics it appears there isn't any... Bummer

    May be a feat of engineering that none of the plane parts are visible on the robot mode (including I guess a fake cockpit) but man he is so... plain and undetailed.
    And wait, are the null rays separate parts? Then what do his rockets turn into?

    Sculpt looks a little soft/rounded compared to the cartoon, but it still blows the previous MPs and 3p attempts out of the water.

    It does look clean, but I would have been too cheap to buy the new BB or Optimus, so (for now) it will probably be a pass, considering I would have to buy his two accessory packs, Thundercracker and Skywarp to go with him.

    Sadly,It doesn\'t have his coronation crown and cape. Maybe, Tomy will make MP Starscream DX like Nendoroid Loki with casual outfit.

    @MINDVVIPE You're not in the wrong, and while I do like this figure, I can't say the same for the people that seem to defend even the smallest things on an official product. Not an absolute, but I have observed it from time to time, as I'm sure many others have as well.

    It looks like the rockets transform into the null rays. It looks like the barrel of the null rays are stored in the rocket.

    The list of accessories is honestly disappointing.

    No waist rotation, after all, though there is an upward ab crunch?
