    so if i want toy accuracy ( i dont have scourge yet) i get the sweeps and use that as scourge and my sweeps, but if i want cartoon accurate sweeps, id be better off buying the first scourge?

    Yup! I believe so. Unless I'm mistaken somewhere.

    Er, as far as I know, none..? Just a different color. Look I didn't even watch the livestream I just heard it described that the upcoming Sweep is colored like Scourge's original figure while the original release was cartoon accurate.

    Same here, but I was never interested in getting any of the earth mode seekers. Siege Starscream was going to be my definitive Starscream. Then they pulled the Throne, and I am now all in! Bastards.

    Don't you mean; "T'aint nothing." ;) 

    And my Scourge, the tracker, and his huntsman, the Sweeps, collection grows. I've got just about every version of him, except the Botcon or the original G1. Though I could pick up one of those bootlegs off of ebay, and ToyHax sticker set. And similar to you, I have 2 Titans Return and 1 Legends for one of each of the 3 heads.

    Here we have a saying for the G1 mega fans who enjoyed this FFF: "second-hand embarrassment"

    Oh well, it's not like people will start having some self control any time soon

    Thanks

    I guess the pics just aren’t picking up on the color variations.....Because I’m really not seeing a difference between this one and the scourge release

    That would be a fair point...if was true. There isn't a 5 month span between reveals and shipping out, its two, or at the most, three months, maybe a little longer depending on where you live and where you ordered. They're plastic robots, I'm sure you can wait for a little while.

    Yeah, and how long has it been since those two deluxes were released? I don't see your point, tho I doubt you really see it either, since all you seem to want to do is whine and get on like an entitled manbaby who thinks that his world is falling because he needs to wait a while for a company to decide when they want to reveal their own products.

    Sorry dude, but the world doesn't revolve around you. If you didn't like the stream, you could have just turned it off, and looked at the highlights after, said to yourself "meh, I'll pass on this" and went on with life. Instead, you apparently chose to sit thru it, get progressively angrier, then go online ranting about how angry you are that you didn't get what you wanted, and being a dick to everyone who tells you to just stop and calm down. Like, chill, we're still talking about plastic robots...

    More hollow forearms on Perceptor. Ugh. Such an easy problem to avoid with two extra plastic flaps and two pins, yet Hasbro continues to cheap out on what should be an above-grade figure. Very disappointing.

    At the end of the stream, they all but directly said Star Saber is coming on the 27th, and I'd assume they'll reveal Kingdom Wave 4 too:)

    I find the packaging....interesting. Sweep, of course, reuses the packaging from Scourge.  Starscream uses the new \"windowless\" leader packaging, like that of the commander class.  But....it\'s hard to tell if the new deluxe packaging has a small plastic window, or if it\'s just open with no plastic

    SS Perceptor looks really close to TR Perceptor, I’m not sure it’s really worth the purchase. Also they dropped the ball on the head sculpt again. They really need to get someone else on these SS 86 head sculpts, Kup, Blurr, and now Perceptor. -_-

    If it’s without a window, all the easier to get a perceptor for free…

    I'm surprised Perceptor isn't a Voyager, it makes it harder to justify replacing the TR figure.

    Starscreams box has no window, because they wanted to display that beautiful artwork on the front! And because Studio Series Starscream is a Masterpiece, And can only be looked upon by the one who is worthy to open the box!

    Yes...Starscream may have died, but don't forget, Starscream went out a King, with an Immortal Spark! And for that, Starscream will always be known as King Starscream, Lord & Emperor of the Firmament!:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
