    I think the issue with Prime is they went with the Supercon toy style head. If they put out an upgrade kit to give him his show accurate style, or even just one with brighter eyes it’d help tons. The super mode for Prime doesn’t translate well into modern engineering either but that’s not Fans Hobbies fault.

    Megatron however is a bit harder to screw up, I can personally still see the Fans Hobby flair.

    yeah, so, color choices are still a bit of a bummer, but I think stuff like this is seriously making me reconsider getting him. That's fantastic.

    Aren’t you affiliated with MMC? If so, any chance you guys would consider taking a stab at Unicron Trilogy characters? I’d pay triple for a voyager scale Armada Starscream from MMC.

    I am, and I'm really not in a position to talk about that. Simply because well, I don't know!

    Could I pm you about that, by chance? I'm trying to be a designer myself and I'd love to know how you got to your position so I can follow a similar path if you wouldn't mind

    Hasbro has a voyager Armada Starscream coming out next year. It won't quite be MMC quality though...

    I’m beyond looking forward to it, but then again it’s Hasbro. I’m not expecting it to fully satisfy my need for an update.

    Still hanging on for Fans Hobby to do him. I’d have thought Demolishor or Hot Shot would have been a given since they love their carbots and smaller figures. An AA tank would be great for them.

    Yeah, I'm expecting to have to buy an upgrade kit to make it good enough, but would much rather see FH or MMC handle an Armada Starscream update. Who knows, seekers seem to sell...could be room for more than one Armada Seeker project. Hint hint, Fans Hobby.

    Imagine going through life with those shoulders, poor guy. Couldn't even go to the cinema.

    No wonder her went evil.
