    If the third deco isnt Thundercracker, I'd want it to be tan with cyber tattoos. Because that would look AWESOME imo.

    These look interesting, but not enough to buy. Btw, how much die-cast metal is in the alternity figures? Is it about the same amount binaltech had?

    I find it interesting that people loved the concept art but hate the actual figure.

    Alt modes are incredible, bots are nothing really special.

    The faces look very feminine to me, unless it's just the angle of the pics...

    I think those two figures are rather bunk for Screamers and Skywarp representations, but then again Alternity's got its own little groove.

    I still plan to get them both though. They're awesome looking figures and I have no trouble renaming a good TF toy as I see fit.

    It's the lack of color the initial art had. With that line art you could easily fill in the most proper places where traditional coloring would go, and it looked like it would fit perfectly. But After Megatron I don't think anyone should be shocked at the schemes actually used and the way they're used for that matter. Regardless, as I said prior, they're still good Transformers.

    I'm not really liking them from the pics so far. Starscream looks the best, but I'm not sure about placing an order yet.

    VERY nice. I'm getting an extremely Transtech vibe from these. I'll buy Starscream at least.

    My god, that car is pug fugly. I'm really not getting too much of a seeker vibe from either of these guys. I know that they have certain parts that OG seekers had, but overall they're not seekers.

    I'm sure it's been mentioned by someone else, but Skywarp is waaaay too purple. The car should be black.

    Sleek lines, and deadly in both modes. Love it. Very stylish head molds. I agree, Machine Wars-ish as others have said, but I can dig it. This is Starscream with millenia upon millenia of experience. It makes sense that he looks more Regal.

    Wow! That car mode is SICK!

    Skywarp is much better coloring - will pick up at SDC this year if I see it :D
