I switched Starscream and Thundercracker's heads. I also used 91% alcohol to rub out the silver splotches on the wings to clean them up. Focused on the leg area, the fists, the back wings, and the nose. There's still tiny splotches of silver paint in the cracks but it looks SO MUCH BETTER. I'm surprised you didn't mention Thrust when you talked about Red Wing. Thrust is a red Seeker. This could be his pre-conehead seeker form. Before he was upgraded into a coneheaded Earth Form. Maybe in the old days, he was shot down, and they had to repair him.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

Ramjet mentioned he had replaced his head multiple times in the past.

We need connecting pegs for siege figures so we can create our own custom combiner. Would be funny to make a DEATHSEEKER

[@benjaminstorace6699]

I know you're joking, . . . but . . .
The Prowl mold seems to borrow heavily Combiner Wars while also having pegs in all the right places for combiner bits, and the Astrotrain engineering seems suggestive of what might be done with the Masterpiece Raiden project that Takara has announced, and the Sideswipe and Ironhide molds have potential for being a specific limb.
