Here is a look at two of the four basic Machine Wars Decepticon jets. The first two are the classic Seekers Thundercracker and Skywarp. Let me just come out and say that they are these classic characters in name and biography only. The jet and robot modes are excellent with great paint applications and design. However, these colors are so vastly different that there is no way these could be the characters. Skywarp is black and purple while his Machine Wars figure is white, black, and red. Thundercracker is traditionally blue and black, not military camo. I know this is very Generation One fan like, but with traditional characters, you can't just go in a wildly different direction like this. Even Cybertron Thundercracker and Skywarp had color schemes resembling their old selves.Outside of the color schemes, the jet designs are pretty good. The transformation is again simple. Pull up on the tail of the jet, the cockpit flips down, and out come the legs. Here is the robot mode super quick. The robot mode for the molds are pretty good. Not the best, but they are a good design, and these were the first Transformer jets in two years.
