There a re a few parts that could use some glue (like the shoulders and skirting), but he really is a lot of fun. My favorite part is that there's actually a Matrix molded into his chest that you'll never see again after building him. If I had one complaint it's that he should have come with more hands like a pointing hand and open hands. He can't actually hold anything in two hands, any shots you see of him holding a weapon in two hands is just a camera trick, the hand you see the back of is a closed fist and not grasping anything.
Looks like the IDW version is giving us more options. Still a great kit all the same, you can still get good looking poses without the extra hands.

Drift looks sweet! I'll have the model kit and the actual figure right next to each other!
G1 Prime is a pass, and surprisingly, the first pass of the Furai model kits for me.

A man can dream anyway.
Regarding Windblade, whilst I know "sexy" Transformers aren't everybody's cup of tea, I'm of the opinion that there's nothing inherently wrong with them provided they're done well, and Windblade here is definitely that. I'd rather she looked a bit more like she actually transformed (more vehicle details on the body, maybe some optional kibble etc) but Ban's concept sketch looks good, she looks like the character and in terms of the end goal of looking sexy, well, it certainly does.
If I do get her (which I very well might because aside from anything else I love building models) I might be tempted to purchase a relatively affordable aircraft model, hack up the parts, repaint them to match and give her more jet kibble though so she looks a bit less like an Actionmaster. The question is, what jet is suitable? Her "canon" jet mode is completely made up and to the best of my knowledge there's no VTOL jets with lift fans in the wings like that. There's very few VTOL jets as is- there's the Harrier (Shatter is already a red fembot that turns into a Harrier), the Yak-38 (which was unspeakably rubbish, and poor Windblade deserves better than that!) and the F-35 Lighting (which whilst not as unspeakably dreadful as the Yak-38 is still not brilliant, not to mention fat and ungainly).

After several minutes of study, I believe the preliminary results point to a yes. However, further testing is required, as well as rigorous peer review.
