All right, folks, here we go again; more upgrades and a full-on toy score!
Hey, remember those add-ons I got for my Earthrise Optimus Prime Trailer about three weeks back?

Well, I found another upgrade set that better captures the essence of the original G1 toy:

Aaaaand a little side-by side comparison with the G1 trailer:

The only real downgrade is the roller, which is significantly larger than the other 3rd party offering, so much so that it barely fits inside the trailer. Otherwise, the new upgrade is a good step up.
Speaking of steps up, here are a few add-ons for Siege Jetfire and Earthrise Hoist:

But if you think these enhancements are totally cash, check out this sweet Optimus-piloted Jetfire mech:

Rule of thumb to all you eBay sellers out there: don't waste your time placing a fra-jee-lay label on your outgoing packages, 'cuz someone inevitably will do the package at least a little damage just out of pure mean spite. Instead, get a slightly-bigger-than-usual shipping box so the item has more space, and then fill that space with some sturdy packing padding.
Now that lecture time is over, let's open this bad boy up:

Oh, boy! Now Starscream has his very own buddies to
back-stab and constantly betray hang out with and do cool stuff together!
Well, the front of the display box looks pretty good; let's take a gander at--

Ahhh, son of a biscuit eater.

Meh, it's not like I was gonna keep 'em in the box anyway, right? All right, let's do this.

Boy, Starscream sure is taking his sweet time studying the transformation instructions. I don't even know why he even needs them, seeing as how he transforms in the exact same way as his fellow Seekers. I mean, he should be able to do it pretty much reflexively at this point, right? But it seems otherwise, which leads me to this conclusion about Starscream:
Easily one of the G1 show's Top 3 moments.
Whelp, that settles that. Meanwhile, Thundercracker and Skywarp are getting impatient. Guess I'd better help 'em out:

Now THIS is more like it: the original Seekers are BACK, baby...

...and they're rarin' to hit the expressway to the hazard sector! W00T!!!

Whelp, that's more than enough excitement for now. Until next time...
