And this is so tempting... but I already have the RotF Voyager.

Anyway, what's this about Tekka?

Anyhoo, looking good for a gangly movieverse figure. Mine is on the way! Waiting for shipping is the hardest part.

Untill they decide they can release it with adjusted paint aps.

This will be the first time I've completed the trio in the Movie universe. For some reason I really dig this mold.

I do have empathy for you, at least your seekers have hands... and missiles that don't fire prematurely at the slightest touch.

Don't release this stateside. We need more Bumblebee repaints. Maybe another ten versions of Skids and Mudflap.

You don't get to have any Skywarp fun, but I get to have fun giving you a hard time.
I call upon Primus to replace Tekka's Skywarp with a G1 Wheelie wearing a mustache!
*The mustache is Wheelie's ultimate disguise*

Why not just Japanese since this is a Japanese market exclusive? I have Black Arcee from the first movie line, and her bio is the same as her regular U.S. release's, in perfect English. Why the switch?
Send an e-mail to Takara about that. They decide stuff like that, they know why they do it. And if not, no one knows for sure.
Be nice, don't call anyone ignorant.

Trying reverse psychology will only make it worse.

It has to do with being consistent in packaging. TakaraTomy has decided to actually keep the Hasbro packaging for their main line figures, including the English. To have the TakaraTomy exclusives fit in better, their bios are also in (not so perfect) English. It would look kind of jarring if you see one of two Japanese backing cards in a line full of English, am I right?

Anyways, he looks great. But there is one reason Im not ordering him : Starscream's stupid tattoos
If you cant have a matching G1 trio, why bother ??? When walmart put out voyager Skywarp, I went out of my way to buy Target exclusive G1 Starscream to complete the trio. If someone does the same with Starscream this time around, Ill pay a little more for Skywarp on e-bay. But I dont think they will do it.

Some of the best seekers in my collection are KO's. But then again I wont even insult CHMS by referring to them as a KO company. Lets just say they are an alternate transforming robot company that listens to their fanbase.

I wasn't trying to be rude by any means. I really and truly AM ignorant about why the Japanese exclusives are packaged the way they are. Thanks for letting me know JelZe!

I got Starscream and Thundercracker today, and am deciding whether to buy this figure from Ebay, or Amazon (if possible), or wait and hope for an American release. I hope we get a Ramjet, I have the voyager, but he's a little big with the other guys. I do not have the ROTF voyager Skywarp, so have to consider this figure. The figure is EPIC !!!!

May be common knowledge but, you can flip the flap that would trigger down the missles all the way back, that way he can spin his cannons for all he wants and the missiles wont go flying out
