I definitely want both of these guys in my collection. I mostly collect core class and having these guys towering over everyone would just make for an awesome scene.
Machine Wars Starscream, nuff said. And retool Earthrise Doubledealer to get rid of the bird parts so you can have a Machine Wars Soundwave. Let's throw in some other deep/obscure cuts: • So retool SS86-1 Jazz to have a new head and a gun hand for his left hand, paint the car parts purple, BAM, Alternators Shockwave/Binaltech Laserwave. • A little retooling of Earthrise Hoist to remove the backpack crap, slap on a new head, paint him up properly, BAM, Alternators Optimus Prime/Kiss Players Convoy. • Earthrise Datsun mold - specifically starting from Bluestreak - retool the head, include a certain weapon that can fit on the arm, BAM! Altenity Megatron.
Dreadwing is stunning. Skyquake is aight Wish there was one that used orange and purple to complete the color schemes. Idk who'd they be, but they'd be legendary and come with like a final fantasy Cloud sword
Dreadwing is absolute win for me. Both are great, and if I could afford both I'd own both. Sorry Skyquake, but your brother's just that much cooler. Until Hasbro repaints him as Legacy King Atlas because you know they will. Sidenote. Apparently the clearance, and QC issues with this guy have been improved from the original.
So lets be real here. Smokescreen redeco of Needlenose when? I know it's gonna happen. You know it's gonna happen. Hasbro know it's gonna happen. When is it gonna happen? Just announce it already. Announce the 2 pack while we are at it.
