First Look of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Mindwipe Out of Box

Sold!

I'll take him, and every eventual repaint of him!

Nice figure!

So if Dreadwind + Darkwing = Dreadwing
then does Mindwipe + Skystalker = Mindstalker or Skywipe?

I think Mindstalker sounds awesome.

The alt mode looks awesome! His legs are a little skinny, but that doesn't bother me. I'm gettin' this one!

It's probably in another topic somewhere, but what's the projected release date?

A few thoughts:

1) Blue & gold paint and transluscent purple would make this very similar to Cybertron Soundwave. Add the minion component in Skystalker and it makes me wonder if these two were conceptualized as earth-mode versions of Soundwave and Ratbat.

2) Is the connector for Skystalker a cyberkey port?

3) The connector for Skystalker winds up on Mindwipe's chest... Perhaps they combine in robot mode too? With Skystalker turning into extra armor or weaponry?

4) So close to being accurate to a real F-117; it's ashame about those tailfins.

You know that's not just Mindwipe in name only, they managed to let the alt-mode look batlike and the robot-mode head looks like a more detailed and cooler version of the G1 bat-mode head.
This toy is epic seriously epic, this guy will be my Classics Mindwipe.

WOOHOO!!!! No monkey arms! This is on the want list - I love the way the alt mode is distributed around the bot.

Sweetness.
This looks awesome.

I find Hasbro's design choices with these new NEST GLOBAl refresh line molds interesting -- they are not quite aligned with the movie aesthetic, and border more on being outright Universe (Classics 2.0) releases. I think that Hasbro designers initially intended for most of these new molds to be actual Universe releases, but realizing that the younger demographic my not pic up on the significance of the characters, as well as to purely capitalize on the success and popularity of the film franchise, shunted them into the "movie-verse".

Either way, GREAT toy engineering. If these characters are not represented in any IDW movie fiction, then I will use reprolabels' symbol stickers to have Bludgeon, Mindwipe, and the rest of the new molds represent my personal "Classics" version of the Cybertron Empire (Universal Stream Primax 207.1 Epsilon). Win/Win.

I dont see anything wrong with this figure! this figure is perfect in everyway!! It will be interest to see what repaints come from him. Actually, change the color to purple with some silver, take away the blades and make one hand into a cannon arm and change the head sculp abit and you got Shockwave my friends...

Looks great !!! A definite must !!! I still feel this would have made a better homage to G1 Whisper but I must admit the robot mode has a bat-like look making a Mindwipe homage passable. Im not a fan of the Cybertronian writing on the wings because it flat out resembles chinese text. But overall I give this guy a 7 out of 10 on my rating scale.
