    Hm, sorry but the Maketoys one looks better. I mean the position of the front intakes(?) in bot mode bother me quite a bit. They are not supposed to be behind the head.

    Hmm... I don't like this one, and meteor is too basic for my tastes... Fans Toys it- I mean the eventual TE version. I'm still excited to see the transformation of this dude.

    They are supposed to be there (I can provide as many screenshots as you like)...and going by Meteor's incorrectly angled intakes as the standard?

    Depending on how good the alt mode looks I'm probably gonna be getting this guy (or this mold painted in toy colors or as someone else) at some point, these schematics have me pretty cautiously excited.

    I feel ya on that, but the head is likey forward so that it doesn't have a awful pinhead, and can still wear the crown.

    I can provide the opposite, there's more of them.

    And you?

    It's funny, two of your pictures show exactly the opposite of what you are trying to say.

    This guy looks good, but I highly doubt it'll look good enough to repurchase these guys all over again... Meteor cleans up a lot better than those pics, too. You can hide the tail fins inside the leg flaps for a pretty clean leg look. And I don't know what they have going on with the wings as his profile in hand is much slimmer looking than what's pictured.

    I will say, TT did a nice job with the air intakes, or whatever those parts on the sides of his head are called. Nobody ever seems to make them curved like the model art depicts them. But probably not enough to get me to drop $750-900 again.

    To be honest... It seems to be just perspective, but looking at the picture, they seem to be behind the head too.

    Now that I think about it that face expression is more of a thundercracker expression then starscream is it possible this is thundercracker instead of starscream.

    I think the correct position should be somewhere midway. Not completely in line with the head, but not like behind the shoulders either.

    Agree...where they are "supposed" to be can only be based on preference.

    Yeah, and I'm sure this perfectly valid interpretation was also chosen to allow his head to still be visible from the side.

    Man, trust this to break the moment I decide to give this thread 6 hrs rest. But I did say pics would be early! :D :p 

    Love it. No major indiscretions ... so far. The side view looks bulkier, IMO, because of the mass of pencil lines that won't be as hard on the eye in pale grey, and the angled back wings.

    But he does have far more depth now in the front half of his feet as opposed to just the thin edge of a hoof. So I think the added stability will be there ... not even sure the thrusters make contact with the ground, there seems a couple of mm clearance, or maybe that's just me? o_O 

    By judging by the rear view, that piece is thankfully on a hinge (so I'm presuming can be flipped up?) :confused: :rolleyes:

    This should be the standard:
