O rly? look at the head in altmode.

That guy's Metalhawk is awesome, but of course Botcon if they use the Cyclonus mold will probably just repaint him. Still that is one nice looking robot.

Why is everyone looking at Cyclonus for Metalhawk?! Their jet modes look absolutely nothing alike:

Metalhawk:


and Cyclonus:


And even with remolding, he'd still look like Cyclonus.

If I Remember correctly, "Comic Appearence" was mentioned a few pages back. Maybe he looks different in the comics?

He still looked like G1 Metalhawk in Wings comics, but with the helmet of his Pretender shell.

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETT!!!!!

I'm already wanting to go even more!

Are there any cheap hotels nearby?

Silverbolt could work, he's big, his alt mode is similar to Overlord's jet component, he has chest flaps, and like Overlord he has the forward section of a jet hanging off his body, Silverbolt just carries his on his back rather than his arm. Slap the colors on there and a new head and it could work. The rest of the set I'm not that excited about.

That's the only idea so far that COULD make sense.

Sad, but true. I say "sad" because I don't think the Universe Cyclonus is bulky enough to properly portray Overload. He's a big guy; not just in size, but in stature.

If he's a former Seeker, he should be black with another color mixed in. Blurr had blue, Goldbug had yellow, Rodimus had purple. Maybe Tracks has red? Shoot, that would make him look even more like Runabout...

Well, TFA The Motor Master was pretty close to Optimus Prime Black Version, who, while not a botCon figure, came out not to long before BotCon 2011.

And, weren't there two same-mold BotCon figures who looked similar released at the same Con one year?

They can give him a remolded head too.

Yes, but Cyclonus' robot mode seems to be the only really good candidate to match Metalhawk's robot mode.



Their wings are even in a similar placement.

Now, yes, his altmode won't look exactly the same, but this is supposed to be Classicverse Metalhawk, not Wings Universe Metalhawk (who was killed, BTW). Not everyone in the Classicverse looks exactly like their G1 bodies. Look at Devastator, for example.


Unless, of course, you have a better suggestion for Metalhawk?

Again, this is Classicverse, not Wing Universe. Wings Universe Metalhawk is dead.

Characters I do not care for one bit. It's an emotional thing, my entire TF-fanboyism is.

Kinda off topic:

Damn RHA you look fine, I hope I see you at Botcon !

I am a dude.

Thats not what I wanted to hear.

But who is that the girl in your avatar and signature ???

Edit: I just saw somebody else asked the same question earlier and you declined to answer. In all truth I thought you were that chick on youtube that raps about Transformers and does reviews. She is hot.

Seriously though, Metalhawk could work, given an alternate nosecone and wings, Sabreblade. But I say a seekermold could also work.

(Then again, they could have also made Jetfire into Leozack.)

Hey guys, I'm generally more of a lurker than anything else, but I had to make a suggestion of my own regarding the observation some people made about there being more figures than usual in this set.

As I understand it, Cyclonus is gang-molded with Nightstick, and he seems to be the likely candidate for Metalhawk. So what of Nightstick? Well, Action Master Treadshot IS based on a pre-transformer gun-former. That would explain the number of figures I believe...

Incidentally, I can't claim this observation as my own. It came from a friend when I brought up the question of what would become of Nightstick if Cyclonus were used.

Treadshot from Nightstick would definitely explain the presence of six figures instead of five. And, it would make sense since Treadshot is a Heroic Decepticon, so if he teamed of with Metalhawk (from Cyclonus) it would work out.
