Yeah its better than the standard 'dull surprise' of the other Universe packaging.

WHAT THE HOLY FREAKING GARBAGE!?!?!?!

THAT IS THE FINAL COLOUR SCHEME?


..... bloody freaking hell man.

I hope beyond hope they do a henkei of this. It looks like a prototype. That was an excellent looking mould too.

Like Kup said, I never thought that Hasbro would release something that looked like that (a prototype), these days. Looks like we gave them far too much credit. This has officially set the bar to the lowest level that their aesthetics have reached over the past couple of years. I'd actually prefer slightly wonky paint apps to this.

It's... okay. I'm more annoyed with the huge gulf in class than the end result. I'll probably grab the Henkei version anyway (:

I thought Classics Deluxe Starscream pretty much had the same cheap KO plastic and paint look as Cyclonus. It is highly unfortunate that these new figures are turning out quite poor in regards to colour choices/job (Prowl, Galvatron) and yet it puzzles me that there's some decent ones too like Acid Storm and Sunstreaker. I repeat... DECENT.

Personally, I guess I'm in the fortunate position that I tend to admire the engineering side of the figures and I can _just_ overlook the horrible paint jobs in most of the figures. I do feel the pain though, especially when you actually look at other "cheaper" toys out now having a much better paint scheme. Heck even the Bumper Battlers have excellent paint jobs in general.

Looks to be a rather nice toy, though the final product pictures do not live up to the photoshopped pictures of before.

I am amused by the fact that unimpressive paint jobs are inspiring people to declare holy war on Hasbro compared to a relatively expensive, highly sought-after Henkei seeker exclusive being kinda broken almost across the board.

We're a fickle bunch, us Transfans. When something that wanted & sought after is put into production, We're more than happy to pull out our wallets .

[FFN]

I think we tend to keep quite when expensive imported things are busted to lessen our buyer's remorse. Not me, if it's busted crap, I'll say it's busted crap

I've only ever purchased one Japanese Transformer that was "broken" - being Masterpiece Convoy that was missing a panel. But Takara fixed me up on that pronto. Again, if there's anything wrong with a Takara TF please do not hesitate to contact Takara either via their customer support and/or their online survey.
