I quite liked the line if I'm being honest.

And I really liked where it was heading - Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee were basically just downsized Alternators but the aesthetic on Starscream was beginning to move in an interesting (and enjoyably alien) direction.

I'm still consider breaking my only buying an expensive mold once policy and getting Thundercracker and Skywarp to go with my Starscream.
