Recreating the scene where they all get chewed out by Megatron together (^^;;)

Following the D-Style Starscream, the Skywarp & Thundercracker combined kit has been released. Since these characters are essentially color variants of Starscream in the lore, the kit reuses 100% of the existing Starscream runners and is a straight-up color variant release. I looked it over carefully to see if anything had been added or changed, but aside from combining the two sticker sheets into one, there's really nothing structurally different.

Since the structure is identical to the existing Starscream, for the kit's own characteristics, check out the D-Style Starscream reviewfor reference — here you can just enjoy the difference in color combinations between the two color variants.

So while they lack any real individuality of their own, when displayed alongside Starscream, the completely different color schemes do give Skywarp and Thundercracker their own presence. It's especially fun to strike combined action poses with Starscream, or recreate that group scolding scene (?) with Megatron.

Either way, it's a kit that Transformers fans should find pretty interesting, and it'll be even more fun to build alongside Starscream and Megatron. :-)
