>>6367767Word to the wise, those winglets on the ends of the wings?
DON'T flap those, they come off easily enough but 1 don't do much to change the look for robot mode, and 2 they can fracture the wings, as seen here, its because its a thin section with a panel line between, easily repaired if you come across it but you do NOT want to do that.
Also sprue marks are horrible, whoever cut them was ripping the cutting tool away from the figure in a clear rush.
>>6367774Kinda eh, mp03 (the first seeker mold) tried to hide the jet kibble and ended up giving sword scabbard looking hip kibble, not megaposeable but it did the job, also face swapping gimmick with each of the TAKARA heads getting different expressions to make each one different, but the deco's aren't remotely g1 accurate though mp03 starscream wouldn't look out of place with a 1/60 scale model.
Then we get the newer mp11 mold, some debate its a all new mold, it could just be borrowing engineering with the mp03, I say its a heavy retool job that focuses on the robot mode, the newly added heel spurs (which were once the jet engine detal remolded to flip out) remove the need for the flight stand of the mp03, and all past jet gimmicks are intact (landing gear, jet intakes move, nosecone opens and airbrakes move), if you are a hardcore transformer fan these are the best seekers you can get unless you go the 3p route...one problem with the seekers of the mp11 type is the mold is heavily worn and newer releases are either getting sloppier in the qc department or looser joint wise, my best seekers of the mp11 type are hasbro acid storm and hasbro thundercracker, people have noted the takara skywarp and thundercrackers can vary a bit and apparently the reissue of takara starscream is shoddy, and from my time with hasbro starscream I believe them.
The coneheads are meh with dirge being the better of the 3 (despite the crack I posted), thrust having a loose waist and ramjet getting a shitload of issues.
