Decent enough looking in alt mode, but the robot mode head really kills this mold for me.

Even though it is a simple repaint, I like the color AND the name. Me thinks I should pick up that game just to see some of the cool characters I've been missing out on.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, the ONLY reason I didn't get Dreadwing is his awful blue so I'm probably getting Overcast because repainting Voyager Scream is getting old.

1. His knees are bent the wrong way.
2. That damn ugly lens-head.
3. No hands.
4. His bulky under-carriage.
5. His bulky upper-body.
However, this guy is not a total loss. He's actually kind of fun to mess with. And this is so close to a Skywarp, it's creepy. Replace the yellow with purple, and PRESTO! Skywarp. But what kills that is his friggin head! And his goofy legs and lack of hands. The under-carriage I can live with. Man, what a shame.
I still HOPE that we will get a Voyager Skaywarp repaint of Starscream. If not, I may have to ask someone here on this message board to make me one.
I may get this one, despite his "issues". I like the color scheme on him. Damn, and here I thought I was finished.

I don't like Overcast. The colors are ugly, and this is one mold (no matter how much I like it) that shouldn't be recolored and re-released.
Well, now we know why the Movie line will be able to carry itself until next Summer. With all of the repaints, a sprinkling here and there of a new figure, etc...and it'll be just enough momentum to whore the molds through Winter and Spring.
If molds could catch a disease...these would've caught something terminal.

Hmm, I'm not sure if that will be enough to hold me over. Since June I've been in "hyper-spend" mode and now I'm in withdrawal with the lack of activity. Searching for MP Starscream is the only thing keeping me sane.

Oh believe me, I know exactly how you feel. If it wasn't for the Masterpiece figures (DVD Prime, Masterpiece Starscream, Masterpiece Megatron) I'd be going downright insane right now.
There was such a rush, such a "Gotta catch 'em all!" mentality that we didn't think about the aftermath.
It's nothing life changing or anything like that, but it is irritating and boring.
Fortunately for us, Incinerator, Landmine and (I can't think of his name right now) the Cadillac Escalade figure are coming between January-March. Maybe, just maybe, we might get lucky enough to see a Voyager Bonecrusher (I doubt it, but it wouldn't kill Hasbro.)
Since those new figures will definitely be shortpacked, I have a feeling we'll be back to the hunt, quite soon.
(After that...yeah, it's really, really, really going to suck hardcore.)
Fortunately, Summer will be here before we know it, and Classics/Universe 2.0 along with it.

The colours just don't do it for me and the transparent yellow reminds me of spongebob for some reason.
If theres one existing mold that deserves a repaint its definately dropkick.
It would of been neat to see Dreadwing repainted according to the TF-game. There he was grey with white and dark grey stripes which looked real nice. Sort of like US Urban camoflauge.
Ill post a screenshot when ill have the game reinstalled.

For some reason all that ever loads for me from that site is a background.

I don't understand that at all. That 'is' how he was painted.
He does convert nicely to SkyWarp though with some mods and paint.
I think I'll be passing this guy up though. One DreadWing was more then enough.

Nooo, his base colour was painted grey in the video game but the toy's base colour is this light blue.

I can say the same thing about the impending Cliffjumper: yes, the red looks nice, but every BB needs not be repainted into Cliffjumper....
I like the Waspinator idea, MegaDave!
