Honestly, I'm kind of undecided on whether to buy Darkmount or not. While I like his design, I generally stay away from "toyish-looking" toys (ironic, I know) and opt for more realistic designs. Darkmount's light blue color-scheme really puts me off, but I really like him for his superb articulation and alt modes.
Decisions, decisions....

Well now...dark blue I think I can live with.
Maybe I'll be buying him with Megs after all. BTW, great review!

It is weird, but I just don't like this figure much at all. (To me) it almost seems like a strange mix of the Classics line and the Animated line, although I am sure it is not at all intended to be that way. It is a nifty figure in a lot of ways, but it isn't for me.

Did you find that at your local TRU or a hobby shop?
BTW, have WFC Megatron and WFC Soundwave arrived at your neck of the woods too?
hobby shop, kinda like 'sneak peak' release
only WFC Meg. if not mistaken, WFC soundwave is in next wave
Wow, that's a really early release! Still no news on my local hobby shop on either Megs or Darkmount. I'm hoping to catch Megs, Soundwave and Red Alert in Wave 3 when they finally arrive.
I believe he said he was from Malaysia. It's not out in the US, Canada, etc., yet.

Wow this looks awesome, it looks better than in the Hasbro promotional pics 
I can't help myself but think I will need two of these since it looks like so much fun I'll need one for displaying and one for playing.

Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

Thanks for the pics.
The back kibble is a bit obvious, but the head sculpt, gigantic battle axe, and overall solid update of a more obscure character make this an easy buy at the deluxe price.

Straxus looks mean and ugly as hell! I like! I'm getting him for my Decepticon hierarchy.
Nice colors btw and the alternate form.....really fits the militaristic/fascistic/psychotic personal of the comic book.
