Swindle should quit bugging him. He's giving Prime the creepy crawlies.That reminds me of the time I caught Optimus Prime getting a Kickback from Swindle on hidden camera. Quite the scandal at the time...

Well, Thanksgiving is over, time to get out our traditional set...
Was content to pass on this mold since the Windblade one really wasn't doing it for me with what felt like a mishmash of shapes with a cockpit glued to the top of it in altmode.
Slipstream's colors in altmode mitigate that effect quite a bit, and even the robot mode torso looks a bit better with the faux cockpit piece being picked out. Making the teal metallic is definitely a good move too. I'd still prefer the null rays to be shoulder-mounted, but the underslung look is kinda neat too.
But what really clinched it was finding out I can swap out the head for this, from the Cyberverse Deluxe Starscream -- and boy does it ever improve the overall look.
I like the model well enough to wonder if I'll warm to the Windblade version with a similar improvement in head sculpts, but the altmode deco would have to be changed up a bit too. (The sword is meh too but I can always repurpose an RID one.) It's one of the better robot modes for a Windblade we've gotten, but even the simpler RID mold has a better executed jet mode.
The Slipstream head will fit the Starscream neck in turn. It even looks a bit more like his Earthspark head (haven't seen it in the show, just guessing based on the box art). But it's just not a head sculpt I like much, and the head's too big to store in altmode.

This should cut down on the creepy spying...
There. Problem solved.

Sleepy dolly on a creepy crawly.
Oh yes, giving him guns, certainly makes him less threatening
Well, he was supposed to be mid-swallow, the fact that he triggered Trypticon's gag reflex wasn't something I'd counted on...
To me, it looks like he's manning Trypticon like a turret.
*eyeing the controller*
Both: "I call dibs!"
The Spot pack-in was clever, but they really should've also tossed in one of the Siege gun guys, too.
Y'know, so he could be a Targetmaster,
yes i know they're battlemasters but shut up and go with it for the bit
If they're averse to weapons, just use Rong, who can be fudged as a doorway security scanner thing.
Spot? You mean Bullseye?
Ahhh, they're snuggling!
Of all the times to misplace a picture...Excuse me, I need to go find my Muppets balcony figures...
