Skids looks great, comic-accurate enough, I just hope it's not so tiny and "full of hollow" as recent Generations/FoC releases. I didn't buy a single official figure this year because of that
Doubledealer looks nice, just... not Doubledealer.
Am I the only one that thinks that Doubledealer would have made a better repaint as Overlord, just paint the jet black?

That mold would do Overlord some serious injustice.
But it is begging to be made into Flywheels.

I would have
kinda liked to see it as Overlord, but I understand the injustices it would do for him.
But yeah, I'm still surprised they turned down an obvious Flywheels redeco for Doubledealer. Could even retain the head (face-changing gimmick would probably have to be a no-go).
They call me “Tanker Chungus”!

I prefer the fanmade Penguin Mode instead.

It looks okay, probably something I'd never come up with, but it's original
Personally, I'm not too bothered by Doubledealer's loss of his beast mode: the jet mode, in my opinion, makes up for it. It's especially a nice touch how they added the classic shark-face deco as an homage (sorta) to the bird mode.

He's not perfect but beats the iGear version with ease

Overall, I think it's the wrong mold for Doubledealer.

If that had feathered wings and a beak it would look like something official.

No, I meant I prefer the fanmade Penguin Mode
instead of what you've got there.
This is Penguin Mode:

Wow, looking at those pics, looks like Blitzwing is an awesomely complicated toy!
