Hasbro loves their repaints, and this will inevitably become Skyquake again. It just makes more sense to release a more relevant character to the show at the moment, than one that died back in the early episodes of season 1.

That indeed makes sense. I just hope they do release Skyquake eventually because I prefer his colour scheme to Dreadwing's playskool colours as others have said. I really like the looks of this figure so I'll probably get it either way.

I like both of their colors, so I'm hoping for both.

Still no gattling gun? Damnit, I waited 20 years for a new dreadwing rap

“New Dreadwing
Is punishing
His Gatling gun is illin'!
This Decepticon bomber's a
Transformer-rama,
A three-in-one villain that's chillin'!

Combat tank and sonic jet
Transform into double-trouble robots
Their missiles go boom
Spelling certain doom
As they take apart the awesome Autobots!”

Well, we've still not seen his mechtech powerizers weapon, which surely will mimic his onscreen weapon, as the others have done.

Badly. (Megatron being the closest to the exception.)

Megatron's would be fine if it wasn't brown. At least his blades can move independently from the gears so that it can be extended without having to be pressed.

I like how Optimus's is designed to look like his fore arm with the gun flipping out, but without a way to lock it, and being it is almost exclusively clear blue, it is pretty much useless. Sits in a bin with all the other parts I don't display (as does Megatron brass knuckle weapon).

I have no problem with this. The first guy died. The second seems to be a recurring character. Why waste the money and time now? Besides, when they need to pad waves and assortments, the repaint will come in handy.

I'm moderately disappointed that he won't be in Skyquake colours but I don't really care that much - the mold is the most important thing to me. SKyquake's colour is more realistic but as I'm hoping to repaint the whole cast I can't complain.

Wait, what am I talking about? He'll never be released in England anyway.

I probably should have expected this, but do I spot translucent plastic elbows?
