Anyway. It can't have a pile of extra detail or deco if it wants to look like the, y'know, f-14 from top gun. The helmet rules. I'd like to see the primary color in hand though. It doesn't quite sit well; it could be the lightning like so many others or it might be a bad plastic color choice like that weird pukey gray from TR powermaster prime and blaster.

Very cool idea. Will see if the execution works out.
I don't like it as a whole, not just the hollowness. Ectotron was $60 at EB, not $70 (which is the conversion if they're selling it for $50 USD), and looks 1000× better than this. It's a discussion forum, people are allowed to say what they don't like about it.

I wanted a good F-14 transformer, but I think I'll pass on this hollow beige thing.

But you bought that severely underpainted and oddly colored SS Sentinel Prime? Interesting.

A pass for me but if it ever gets a new head to look like Gobot's Leader-1, I'd be interested.

Yeah, that's a more interesting idea!

That is literally one of the best Studio Series figures to date (if not one of the best mainline figures). Sentinel Prime was $40 and absolutely annihilates Maverick aesthetically. You also complained about the hollowness of Sunstreaker, so I don't get why you're calling people out.

That says a lot when Ultra Maverick dislikes Maverick.

I’m in the “looks like a cheaply made toy” camp on this one when you compare it to ecto

I thought I was looking at a Dollarama Knock Off Transformer.

Easy pass.

It could also be repurposed as a Skystriker/Ace for a GI Joe crossover line.

Of course Hasbro has avoided that like the plague for some reason, considering they wholly own both lines.
