    My favorite Autobot, Starscream. (Seriously, that really looks like Starscream)

    I would absolutely not be shocked if it started as Starscream and someone in marketing went "Okay but like more kids would probably want Optimus."

    When I first saw it and was veery close at hitting the purchase button (Starscreams always welcome in my collection!), until I saw the emblems on the wings. I can do with the Autobot packaging, but the wing emblem.. my Decepticon side cannot handle it...:lol

    Looks like a Su 57 made love to a JAS 39.

    Besides the wreckers, has there been a blue autobot logo on an official product before?

    So it's like... a gun that launches a jet?

    That's pretty metal.

    I'm guessing the jet was originally intended to be Starscream but at some point during production they thought it would "make sense" to give the brighter coloured jet to Optimus and the darker jet to Megatron.
