I can't criticize anybody. My favorite Thundercracker color was the retail Classics mold I got for my birthday almost thirty years after my first G1 Thundercracker, and my favorite Kup is the one that turns into what looks like an antique truck.
He's still the Kup on my shelf! He's got the iGear head with the cigar. aka the only iGear product that didn't crumble into plastic shards of sadness.

I had no idea iGear had trouble? I never had any real experience with them except for an autoscout cassette I got as a freebie once.

I knew a few people who got figures of theirs and the reviews were mostly bad.

But the Kup head is solid. Granted it has no moving pieces...

Among all their products, I was only really into their Minibots. I only kept their Cosmos since it was a charming design with a fishbowl space helmet and an old-timey laser gun. He's alright, if kind of out of place nowadays. I remember them pissing people off for suddenly upsizing the Minibot scale though.

They also made F22 Seekers based on the early IDW design with the most concave faces I have ever seen.

Ah, two of my favorite Robot Masters: Ape Man and Beast Man!


"Hello, Combiner Wars Blast Off."

"Hello, Age of the Primes Blast Off."

And the rest of the meme... is silence.

The shelf that was reserved for Classics Kup, yes?

iGear quality was reserved for Classics Kup.

I seem to remember it getting some love as the only "modern" G1 update of Starscream for a time, but everyone pretty much agreed it sucked once the Classics version dropped.
Going off topic a bit. I’d had loved to see Energon Starscream remoulded, and without the weak transparent plastic, as a modern Starscream (and other seekers) design. Classics ‘06 was rather conservative with its seeker design, IMO.

I still want a Sunstorm from this mold. Sigh.
I want a Sunstorm in general, but this is an old bit of unfinished business. Even if they had to go with opaque plastic for durability (but clear would look soooo sweet).

The Transformers Team did specifically mention Sunstorm as a "we know you want it, it may be coming" repaint of the new SS86 Seeker mold during their Toyfair reveal stream.
