The yahoo.jp link at tfw2005 doesn't appear to have the photos up anymore (or I just can't find them...), so have put in the tfw2005 link for now (these will proably be at other TFs news sites as well, with watermarks covering the images).

It looks too blue. Thundercracker should have a fair bit of red and white on the wings, and the tailfins should be black. Having it all blue really spoils it. It looks boring.

I don't mind so much. It'll go well with my Green-Scream and MP-06, both were already quite different from the G1 colour scheme. :p

They'll probably have stickers that you can use to add the red lines etc. That's what they did with MP Starscream and Skywarp.

I bought two of each, one to open and one to keep MISB. Still haven't opened my Skywarp yet... and didn't know about the stickers inside... :o

Like MP Starscream, MP Skywarp comes with a buttload of stickers and it's utterly impossible to use them all without making your MP Skywarp look really ugly. :p It's designed to give you a choice where you can choose which sticker scheme to give MP Skywarp and customise it according to you like to decorate the toy. I chose to go with the stickers that make the toy look more like G1 Skywarp, e.g.: purple stripes on the wings and tail fins, which is what is pictured in the stickered MP Skywarp pic that I linked in my last post. But you can also apply different sets of stickers to make it look more like a real air force jet etc. etc. Heh, MP Starscream has some stickers which are references to Waspinator. :D

I think it's good that they give the option for both crowds: those who like their jets a little more realistic and those who prefer a G1-like colour scheme. :)

Lol I didn't know that but somehow it makes perfect sense and not just because of the BW episode!!

The packaging looks almost exactly the same as Skywarp's just with the image mirrored, from the front that is anyway. He's kind of meh overall, I'll get him because he's a Masterpiece, but Skywarp and Hasbro Starscream are the better of the three.

I don't mind the all blue look, as it make him look more like a military jet not someones personal F15 hotrod. Also there are bound to be stickers for people who want the more G1 less realistic look.

Although with the dollar down, I'm still not sure if I will get him, As a toy I like Thundercracker better than Starscream, but Skywarp is still my favourte.
