Skyblast

My appologies if this has already been covered by someone. I do know of several threads involving the 2 versions of arcee and the dreadwing figure for the movie. Did not see anything about these 3 though.

my opinion on em? These look kinda cool, and I do like those molds, so I'd probably get them.

Oh might I add for those of you who decided to keep reading my comments without clicking the links first, as always these are from spx_toys

Nice find.

Strongarm looks particularly good.

Wow, noRmal looking faces. I wonder if they will look like this in the movie. Doesn't really seem to mesh.

I might get the two energon repaints, as I dont have them already, Clocker is a particularly 'meh' example of Cybertron.

Sweet. I love the skyblast mold so ill be getting that one. And the strongarm one looks cool so ill get him to. But i already have Cyb clocker and swerve so i wont be getting this incarnation of the mold.

I like Skyblast's camo paint job... pretty slick!

I really think I'll end up picking up the S7 color schemes of the figures... I passed on the orginals alreay, but these ones seem to catch my attention now...

Nice to see they all have proper heads.
I think Hardtop remains my favourite though, his paint scheme is probably the most "realistic" of the lot.

I really like Skyblast's paint job. He's probably the only one I'll get.

Ugh, shelfwarmmer-sense is tingling.

Not that bad... But there are better movie figures to get.

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Mon May 14, 2007 4:45 am

Heck of a lot nicer than the "real" movie figures. Clocker looks like Bluestreak homage, and Strongarm is Brawn.

Bonger, they won't be in the movie. They just exist in the expanded movie universe. Will have to pick up Hardtop and Strongarm. I expect most of these will get new names. I know Energon Arcee keeps her name. I have no idea if the Sector 7 toys will have traditional Transformers style names or not.

Strongarm is really the only one that jumps at me. The others are pretty blah IMO. The decos just look very dull and boring to me. Strongarm does look to be a nice Brawn homage though. I'll most likely get him. Funny, out of the three shown here that one's the only mold I don't already have a version of. I had sincerely hoped for much better from a Skyblast redeco.

i like these energon repaints a lot, and will definitely get them, ESPECIALLY Strongarm, GREAT paint job on that one.
(story-time: strongarm is one of my favorites smaller figs, anyway. right after i broke my arm, a friend saw strongarm in the universe line at family dollar and snagged it as a gift, without even realizing the irony of giving a figure named "Strongarm" to someone who just broke their arm!)

the clocker paint scheme is neat, BUT my problem is the cyberkey: it looks like its just a black version of speed planet key.... also, the 'part' that takes that key is detachable, wasn't it? why not just create a replacement "button-activated" weapon instead (and then, its something slightly new, without having to rehash the whole figure) but even still, why not create a new key that somehow ties to the movie - i'd imagine a 'sector 7' key wouldn't be bad, maybe with the same cube and S7 logo that Strongarm has?, or at least, use an autobot logo key?

big MEH to clocker, but i'll definitely be grabbing the other two.

Don't like the color of Skyblast's translucent parts, but Clocker is absolutely awesome. Strongarm, too...

Wow, I LOVE Sky Blast's colours! Hell, they all look good!

Please do a Shortround repaint, he would look great in military colours like Sky Blast... and his robot mode is like half way between the normal, traditonial bots and the more 'alien' movie designs.

Not really digging these. Skyblast looks badass, but I won't pick any of these up.

I'm waiting to see how Armorhide will look!

Strongarm's weapon is made of root beer. I must have it.

I like Skyblast, that figure always reminsed me of the G1 toon version of SkyFire. Strong arm looks cool too.

As for Clocker. I don't mind when the reissue figures that have been out of the loop for several years. It gives alot of people a chance to affordably catch up. But the Cybertron scouts are still all over the place.

I'm just asking that they give us time to miss the figure before bringing it back again. I can just see all 3 color variants of this guy now in a row of pegs one next to the other in Target, with the only real difference being 2 will be reduced to $4.83, while 1 is $6.99

Good point.

So how does this work? :???:

Are these molds that got transferred from an older line to the Movie series? The reason that I ask is because these three molds are a different a style than the other movie molds.
