Hey those guys were not the ultimatum on TFs (then again it was a licensed show,
but look at some of those new designs ;-P )

Adrian,
You've created two excellent forms with this guy, and at microfig scale too! The
proportions are great and the detailing perfect. Those hands work well as
greeblies. ;-)

I'd say from head-on, the head is hidden enough. I think the arms are just the
right size for this size TF--excellent articulation too.
I commend you on making a "unified" transformation, despite the flimsyness,
because I know it's a challenge and the those other Valykyrie jets that have
been made require removing parts. Furthermore, in regards to what you said:

you said it so well...I totally agree.
Keep up the great work! I look forward to the next one.
