I had Double Dealer as a kid, and to me the big freaking missile is an iconic part of his design... but it just looks kind of silly tacked on top of a tank. (And assuming it integrates with the jet mode, as well, I have a hard time picturing it being less silly looking.)
Meh...I guess I just wish Double Dealer'd gotten an original mold. Or, at least, had not been a straight recolour much like the Springer to Sandstorm deal. I know Hasbro needs to get as much use out of their molds as possible, and I suppose on the surface Double Dealer seems an obvious choice, but the execution falls flat to me. (Doesn't help that to me the jet feels wrong for a character who's flying mode was originally an animal form, although at least they tried to homage that with the deco.)
Again, maybe I'll feel different when better pics of this accessory are available, but I guess it is hard for me to like an add-on when the original figure doesn't do it for me. (Hell, even Ultra Magnus, who needs his armor to be complete, at least kind-of worked for me before City Commander came out.) This thing just feels like slapping lipstick on a pig, as the saying goes.

I feel the same - it's the same problem I have with Perfect Effect's GDO Megatron/Botcon Overlord/ROTF Bludgeon upgrade. But I'm withholding judgement until we see the final pre-production sample. This could still turn out to be really cool.mooncake623 wrote:I'm hoping they do a bird mode head or wings with it. come on just the big Missile is not going to be enough! doing just the missle without the bird mode is just a cop out
That would be sweet! Generations Doubledealer meets DOTM Laserbeak
