    Yep, Skywarp always stood out to me as the best Seeker. Never liked Starscream but he has is place as one of the most annoying and slimy characters ever. Also, Skywarp gets to be reformatted by Unicron. I like to think he is Cyclonus even though it’s arguable.

    Pfft. If Skywarp was so great, how come he didn’t get upgraded into Cyclonus???

    Have you tried the Southpaw control scheme? I believe that shifts some of the movement functions to the right stick - might make things a little easier. The whole power distribution thing is something I definitely need to get used to, but it's overall been pretty fun, especially with a group.

    Just preordered on Pulse. I don't collect Masterpiece, but I adore Starscream. He'll look amazing on my shelf.

    Anime export is usually the most expensive out of the three for me but not much. Amiami let's you choose the shipping method, AJ is usually just one type of shipping which is two day shipping.

    He is the most obvious choice to be Cyclonus, both seekers made into 2 different charcters and the insecticons made into sweeps

    That always made sense to me, in that the Insecticons could duplicate.

    It doesn't remove the obvious animation errors in the Movie (where the hell did the "Armada" go?o_O ) but the idea that both Seekers became the named characters and the duplicating insects became the multiple Sweeps

    Before lockdown, HLJ usually had the cheapest option for shipping, now I’m not sure but they should be very comparable with Amiami And I think DHL is the only option they offer for US. Anime Export, last I heard had no direct shipping option but you have to go through a third party. They are all pretty reliable but Amiami has the best packaging and HLJ has been known to cancel orders and have “fake” listings...basically random listings sometimes show up for items they don’t have. Other than that, they are usually good for standard items that you know are legit and you get your order in.

    I've used AmiAmi and HLJ for 10 and 15 years respectively. Both are very reliable and will arrive by EMS to Middle TN in 3 days. He is currently $202 at AmiAmi and $220 at HLJ. I think shipping will be around 35. It's worth it to me. The times I've had QC issues they have ALWAYS taken care of it quickly.

    265$??? LOL. I remember when the first MP Starscream (and later Thundercracker and Skywarp) were 80$ (the western releases, that is). Even Sunstorm and Acid Storm were only 120$.
    Isn't the original takara price only 200$ or so, btw?
