    Just arrived my hand this morning. Looks so good. He also comes with 2 sowrds. So this is the complete version.

    Package, it's designed for collectors.

    It's a beautiful figure and I'm sad I can't have it.

    Looks great, but I have Jetwing and Buster, so I can't justify the purchase, especially with the lack of the Buster Cannon which I vastly prefer over his new gun.

    Would be had the tanks converted into the Buster Cannon. Sort of sucks that they didn't go that extra mile to make it the perfect figure.

    SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!

    Mine won't be here until probably next week or the week after, but thanks for the pics. I especially love a guy that has Black Prime as well as this one (the chrome jetpack). I still don't understand why they didn't paint the hands. I'm going to have to switch them with my two-pack Buster since that one stays in truck mode.

    Anyway, would you be so kind as to share what color are the LEDs in his head and what phrase does Prime say?

    Looks good, just tough to pass the money on it again with the new Masterpieces coming out.

    He looks great, maybe the best version of the mold. It's just that we've had the mold for the most part since 2009, and I'm sure me and many other collectors have several versions of it. At this point, I guess I would like to see some base mold changes before I pay a couple hundred to have a new version. Maybe a way to streamline his hip wheels so they aren't just hanging there, and giving some clearance to his upper thigh rotation. His head on a ball joint would be nice to.

    Collapse his back pack, get rid of the electronics, flip up face plate. So close to being perfect it hurts.

    Also, find a way to extend his legs a bit. Those other things I can take or leave, but the leg proportions are the biggest departure from his onscreen model. He's really leggy. Unfortunately, the toy winds up looking a bit stumpy by comparison.

    It is a super awesome paint job. But I think I would be way too scared to transform this guy with all that quality paint job. As much as I love the Buster paint job, I really prefer the original Striker. I am not really a huge fan of the Chrome truck face. It would scar pretty easily.

    Meh, The buster gun is cool, But this one is its own, I dont think its necessary. The combination pic of the truck with the wings and all estra parts is amazing
