Yeah. They said they like Seekers in trios. Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Ramjet, Thrust, and Dirge. Acid Storm, Nova Storm, Ion Storm. IIRC they internally consider G2 Ramjet, Cloudcover, and Sandstorm a trio. That just left Red Wing and Hotlink alone. So they threw Nacelle in there.

My two (three-ish?) newest additions! More fun with Toxitron!

It's got such an earnest 70s Super Robot Face I can't not love it. Also there's something funny about Cy-Kill's hammy personality coming out of it.

That Cobra Commander teaser hits a lot of the right buttons for me.

It's been said already, but I dig the Energon vibes from Starscream's patchwork deco. Will be interesting to see if a non-patchwork deco is even possible. I'm a Seeker fanboy so a new Starscream is reason enough to get this, but I'm still going to hold out to see how it looks in hand. Is the...

And is arguably the most successful fighter jet ever made.

Not to tell you how to toy... just curious what it was about ER Starscream that didn't do it for you?

They're intriguing. I'd have to see how they look in hand though.

That seems highly speculative based on nothing after one issue. Like don't get be wrong, I grew to be annoyed by how muddled IDW1 made the faction divide, but I'm not going to slam a new comic/continuity for that until I see it happen. And there is backstory. The bits where Optimus talks...

To me the two are almost synonymous. But fair enough on agreeing to disagree.

If you shoot a generic there's less weight for the people who do know the franchise. Ironhide? You could shoot him, but Bumblebee works because he's that evergreen kid appeal character. Like Hasbro wanted to use him less because of over-saturation and DWJ wanted to kill someone to set the...

"I hereby discharge you from duty." The battle damaged Ironhide would have been great for this ngl.

Nah, sorry. I agree with Salt-Man Z. It was an effective way of "show don't tell." Even if you knew NOTHING about Transformers (and statically at least a few people who read this issue wouldn't have) the scene tells you a few things. 1- There are two factions of robots 2- Jetfire is unaware of...

Oh I agree on all counts. Randy is pretty awesome. As for Nacelle... Yeah I agree. To me the whole thing that makes him special is that he's got the standard Seeker head but Thrust's wings. That's why Nacelle's cool. Just making him a Siege repaint robs him of what makes him interesting. I...

The pre-Earth Legacy Nacelle references the IDW2 continuity, where he was done up in his later colours but with the Siege Seeker body. That's a good point, but it's not just Thurst's wings. It's also his tail fins. And doing that would still require mixing and matching parts from two...

I was wondering what to do with my Coronation Starscream (bought him for the accessories, I like the deco on the ER version better) and it dawned on me. His sightly brown-ish helmet would look great on Sandstorm's body. So I popped Sandstorm's head off, popped Cor 'Screamer's head on, and yeah...

That sounds like the greatest 90s animated tie-in show that never happened.

I wonder if they could re-shell it so it would be a generic jet and not specifically a F-14 Tomcat?

It is. From Northrop Grumman.
