    Anyone know what these photos are about? I saw these on FB.

    Is this the wave 4 repaint, or one heck of an incredibly premium-level painted custom???

    I think those are custom painted.

    Look at his abs area inbetween the crotch plate and the translucent canopy; you can see some unpainted gray plastic.
    Everything else is all covered in paint ; something which Hasbro would never do....although these pics probably give us a decent idea of what the actual repaint will sort of look like....

    Just found him, and opens him today. He is awesome!!! The transformation is slick as all hell, and results in a gorgeous jet mode. Poseability is everywhere, and I'm still finding new joints. Everything is pretty solid, but his leg joints are a bit loose. Bot mode is full of detail, and made me think I had a MP in front of me. Definitely recommend this guy to anyone who's on the fence with him. Honestly, if I dig the tattoo look enough, I'll buy his Wave 4 repaint.

    Picked this and Optimus up today. Wasn't going to, but I have poor impulse control when it comes to new plastic of designs I like.
    Optimus is okay, but not great.
    Starscream looks fantastic in both modes, but after owning the old deluxe versions, this one holds absolutely no magic whatsoever in the transformation. Aside from the new hands, it's basically just an up-scale of the Deluxe.
    That isn't a bad thing, per se, but it is what it is. The figure is good, as was the deluxe, so I'm pretty happy with it.
    After these two, only Megatron and Lockdown hold any interest for me.

    + the extra chest panels to fill out the torso ( whereas the deluxe's torso remains gappy from the front ) and last but not least, his head can actually look up ( whereas the head on the deluxe can only swivel 360 around ).

    It's been a long time since I handled the Deluxes, and I actually thought it had side panels. My bad.
    Still, the transformation is nearly identical.

    I'm not sure if your deluxe had this problem, but on many of them... the nosecone would droop down a little in jet mode. It simply relied too much on just the double jointed hinges.
    In the case of this new voyager, they identified and alleviated this problem by having the nose cone and canopy part actually tab in securely. So many other tabs were added as well to hold the parts together.

    The added tabs are appreciated. My Deluxes didn't have the issue you mentioned (incidentally, I had the standard Starscream and Thundercracker, and the Takara Skywarp), but it's good to see it wouldn't be an issue on this one.
    I just wish the crotch plate tabbed-in in bot mode. The one on my copy is almost loose to the point where if you move the legs it opens up.

    THIS. This is the reason I finally caved and got this guy. I loved my leader and deluxe figures so I didn't feel a need for this guy but now that Blackout and Optimus have been shown to be so good I NEED to have a recreation of the forest scene hehe but honestly a Starscream who can look up is a first and amazing. Plus with my amazon reward points I literally got him for less than $5 including tax haha!

    Welp, that tears it - I'm looking at Nitro right now & if SS is taller, then he's definitely on my list, right next to Megatron.
