I just got mine today and i'm in love with the metallic blue colouring. Its so shiny and nice to touch!

I don't have a Skywarp to compare but I must recommend this one if you were going to get one of the seekers.

The design is very nice if you like weird stuff or are bored of typical car stylings.

Biggest problem when transforming was the doors kept popping off - which is annoying since you dont want to scratch this sexy beast.

I also dislike the little rubber antenna thingy that seems so out of place. eww.

I still maintain that the more classics looking head is missing the point entirely (compared to Starscream's).

I disagree. I think that Prime, Megs and SW/TC's heads are a perfect combination of old and new. While BB and CJ are the most classic-y of the lot, their newer sterner expressions are still a newness. I actually believe there is a painting error on Starscreams head as I feel like the lower eyelid as painted as part of the eye. Makes him look like he has bug eyes.

I think what he's getting at is the snake/serpent motif. I'm not positive, but i think on the box it mentions the quad-optics so i don't think its an error. I like both heads and i'm glad they bothered to do 2 :)

Ah, I see (no pun intended). Still, I would have preferred it to be a different color to distinguish between the two pair as it just looks like two big eyes.
