    Default TFPrime 2nd 2-pack pictures

    Over at Robotkingdom, the second 2-pack with Bumblebee, Starscream and 2 humans (from the evil "Mech" organisation), has been revealed... showing that Bee and Screamer are redecos.
    It's kinda good news for those worried about re-released robots, doubling up just to get two more cast character human figurines.

    What did they do to poor Starscream?!

    Bee would have been great were it not for the allspark blue paint.

    The fail is strong with this set.

    A bit of paint could fix this but yeah, I guess they had to find a way to make use of these molds without having them be exactly the same as previously; Starscream is so damn close to being a Skywarp it's silly.

    What I really love is how they display a picture of show Starscream below the toy, a nice "Ha! This is what I could and should have looked like!".

    Honestly, ever since I was a kid I've felt that is the most annoying part of a figure's packaging - It's like they're intentionally trying to rub it in your face, of course I now know why it happens but still; not a hard thing to change IMO.

    I saw that the other day on TFW - the packaging shows Screamer with a clear canopy but it isn't on the toy itself
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    I like the blue on BB, the brighter look suits him. That face looks like it's been tweaked to a nicer shade of silver, too.
    Starscream is certainly interesting . His pink head fin is a good sign that if they ever release him again in normal SS colours they'll make it red like the show.

    It just reeks of laziness/lack of sincere effort.

    How much more appealing would this set be if they'd say painted Bumblebee in G1 Goldbug colours and Starscream in G1 Skywarp or Thundercracker colours?!? It ain't rocket science... (-_-)

    Oh wow, how is that NOT Skywarp?
    Well. I might be getting this set just for the Screamer repaint and to steal that Bumblebee's arm cannon for the FE.

    Because classically, Skywarp is predominantly black with lavender and silver accents. This could be...dead Skywarp?
