    The tabs on his swords are a little too large for the slots, so I’d shave a little bit of plastic off of the slots before transforming it.

    Have you ordered him already? If not, I've got one for sale at a decent price if you'd be interested:)

    Question for you all: is the KO Bumblebee Optimus Prime a good copy? Not OS - just straight KO.

    I was stupid enough to not get the SS when it was at retail, and not willing to pay after market.

    Well just don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood. :D 
    That set really is worth it though. It's bigger than the original set, better painted, and not too much more expensive.
    Aah, Hazleton was only abt 45 mins from me, if memory serves
    I left PA in 2013.
    Oh come on now, PA isn't that bad. Oh wait, yes it is, that's why I left lol.
    Damn it, now I suddenly want all the Con MPMs.
    You'll be waiting a while to get him at that price.

    This is seriously one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Probably the closest we can ever get to life-like movie bots.

    Yes. He is a gorgeous figure. Decently complex but not ROTF-era over complicated. His paint could be a little more accurate but it’s decent FWIW. I’m planning on getting him when he’s on discount.

    You may also need to cut a little bit of plastic inside of his hip, to get it to sit right.

    I think it makes the Jet look so much cooler, too

    I gotta say, as of late, I've really been liking SS ROTF Screamer over the 07 version as well. It's not super accurate, but the contrast between the beige-white of the main body and the darker greys and browns is really striking in hand. And I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me of the sorts of decos we would've gotten on toys between the first film and DOTM

    I might be biased because my copy of the ROTF mold has better tolerances too but I also prefer the ROTF deco.

    Only picked up the 2007 version for completionist sake.

    The tattoos, while a little overkill, are a really cool detail to an already awesome design.

    Glued Wheelie and Brains to a cut up piece of runner, at least they can stand now.

    And the dark scheme for most of the parts on the underside of the jet kinda fade into the background, so the Rotf jet feels sleeker and more proportionate than the 07 version

    I'm looking at him standing on the desk beside me and he really feels like a "stealth mission Starscream" type deal. The colors work really well on the mold, and it has a nostalgic feel going back to when Hasbro would make all the wild dark repaints of every movie figure

    I don't hate the tattoo look, but after nearly a decade of nothing but that pattern I'm really glad to have a plain "can hide amongst other jets" Starscream.

    Another update on my seemingly tragic trip down memory lane.

    My ROTF Bludgeon's thumbs broke off just by looking at them :( 

    Is this what is doomed to happen to plastic over time?

    I think that was just a case of poor design, the thumbs on mine broke off years ago.
