>>6966655but its also toy accuracy
the fact is at the time hastak were doing toy or animation styled deco's, neither are accurate, and considering the price of the takara one which after all things considered is more expensive than starscream you need to wonder what you're really paying for, it'd work out cheaper to buy a starscream and repaint it yourself
accuracy is an issue, but that's a small part of my anger towards him, its the fact they both were meant to be different statements and yet ended up the same
but I have a theory on why the nosecone was black, the cone uses softer plastics, and wasn't available in the correct blue, and taking mp11's idea of painting the cone in the right color would result in a double fail because the under color (which gives toy accuracy when rubbed off) couldn't be painted in a lighter color (light blue over black doesn't work and making it any other color would have its own issues) so after a bit of thought I guess it couldn't be helped
its why I got the toy one and sucked it up with the tampos, like I did with acidstorm (oc) and sunstorm (ronald mc shithead)
