That being said, the name doesn't exactly make sense any longer, and it would've been really nice to have gotten vtol wings with missles (especially since the guy said a vtol jet during the presentation) so between all of that and no new head (especially since blstoffs head is so counter to quickslingers) it is starting to feel a tad lazy.
Well technically, he's a Harrier jump-jet, so he IS vtol capable.

I do think you're right about the headsculpt. First Aid's head might have made a better choice:

Knowing that nothing can compare to my exact ideal, I find that this one while a esthetically pleasing doesn't mean that it meets the basic requirements for a Skylynx to me. The lack of two seperate pieces takes a lot of the play value I want and like about Skylynx away. ReplacING two pieces with one unasked for combiner mode is... interesting.

On figures that are pretty much just straight repaints, they kind of have to go with the head that is part of the mold. To use Fireflight's head, they'd have to make a toy with the Alpha Bravo/Blades mold, a toy with the Fireflight mold, throw out the heads on the first one, and throw out the rest of the figure on the second. It isn't like they can just take the Fireflight mold and say, "Only pour plastic into the part with the head!"
That being said, if a faceplate was that important, maybe they should have gone with the Alpha Bravo head rather than the Blades one?

I suspect Takara will come to our rescue...again. I also want them to fix Vortex's colors. I know the yellow and red details are toy accurate, as is Hasbro's usual modus operandi, but they look awful. I'd rather the more subdued pallet of the G1 cartoon model.
Isn't Hasbro giving us BOTH colorations though? G1 cartoon AND G1 toy accurate Combaticons at retail?
