The Starscream is surprisingly good. I really wish Hasbro releases Reactivate Optimus and Soundwave on their own; I could never get a hold of the two pack.

Will have to grab one. Thanks!
@waynetaylor1044Ай бұрын
I heartily recommend the double dip! Soundwave is probably the worst of them but even he's a pretty good figure with two cool modes.The Starscream is great and absolutely drips character. The Optimus is sublime. Killer in both modes. Definitely worth the outlay.

The only way i found to not have problems with the neck assembly is to assemble all the chest and body first and put the head down on as the last step, with the body assembled the space available is more than before, you just keep the head assembly over the body until the rest is ready, that way you don't have any clearance issues or scrapping. When going back to vehicule mode you just pull the yellow tab up to lift up the head assembly, then disassemble the body and put the roof together then follow the rest of steps

I got the 2 pack. And Starscream is very good actually. I wish if they want to do a new 86 Starscream, they should use the engineering of reactivate Starscream. Because reactivate Starscream, the jet nosecone is inside the body. So no jet nosecone backpack and the figure has waist rotation.

This has a "clean" deco compared to the Reactivate release. I too never knew about the sliding grill but when I went to check my copy from the two pack the grill was already in position. I wonder if through the natural course of transformation it slides into place.
@peaughАй бұрын
I wondered about that. I thought the two-pack was a little more dirtied up, but most video reviews I checked when I was having trouble initially with the backpack didn't seem much different.
@RenkencenАй бұрын
Wait, the car bonnect suppose to be sink that back into the backpack??? Well ok when I got my out of the box (two pack) the bonnet piece was sink DEEP into the backpack to the point it was under that inner frame instead of above it (the natural stopping point)! Took a hell of an time to pushed it out of the backpack but it left a stress mark on the bonnet. That being said, it's not too bad as it look like a tiny line near where the car wipers would be located! Looking about my figure now, I guess it's safe to have it sink a little bit deeper as originally, I had the bonnet just resting on top of the backpack.
@peaughАй бұрын
Yeah, mine got wedged too deep for a bit as well.

Do you think this Bumblebee would look out of place next to the War For Cybertron gamer figures? I'm curious about just him really but my collector brain is having trouble deciding where I'd put him 😅

It would in alt mode, I think. He's a little big scale wise in robot mode, but could work.
