I am planning to customize a TFU Starscream into SG Thundercracker. I am torn between giving him the standard missiles or the thicker missiles that came with Ramjet.
On the one hand, the thicker missiles will better evoke the look of the G2-style art used for TC's one appearance. On the other, I could also use them for my "heavy-fighting" trooper that I plan to convert soon.
Thoughts?

Kitbah! New word!
Anyway, the absolutely wonderous Actionmaster Thundercracker, upon which SG Thundy is based, featured no actual arm missiles, while his exo-suit had big pink ones! So I say go with the thicker ones, if only because it would look more ridiculous, which is a large part of the appeal of this color scheme. To me, anyway.

I am tempted to leave the missiles out, and to remove the wings. But, as he transforms in SE/SG, I may as well do a straight recolor, if with different missiles.

Is this 'beefy' Seeker BB?

See the BWII jet guys are named Starscream, Thrust, Dirge, and BB. BB's the odd man out, not being a G1 name, so I always theorized there was a G1 Seeker named BB that we just never knew about. And surely, 'he' would have hugeass bomb missiles, so yeah.

Re: binding kitbash pole
Nah. He may coincidentally have colors similar to BB, but the colors will actually be based on Bombshell. It started as a joke color scheme I considered for my extra Cyclonus.
The basic idea is that I will use Ramjet's pointy head on a regular Decepticon soldier body. I did a green PVC variant of this years ago, back in '03. Ramjet from the Marvel x-over had a similar appearance.
