Are we sure that the powers-hat-be haven't decided to rename him "Dreadwing"? Or "Dreadwind"? I mean, it's not like we've seen them all together in a room at the same time....Mkall wrote:Whatever happened to Voyager Skyquake?
Nonsense. Skyquake was in the cartoon, voiced by Richard Green.metaphorge wrote:Are we sure that the powers-hat-be haven't decided to rename him "Dreadwing"? Or "Dreadwind"?

(I also wonder when "Darkwing" is going to join the party?)

We saw him alongside the proto of Voyager Starscream, who has Powerizer aspects built into him. Since skyquake was seen along with him, it makes since for Skyquake to also be a Powerizer.craggy wrote:maybe Skyquake was a first edition prototype, that they're only going to show you pictures of once, and never release!

You are assuming, of course, that Prime is going to stick to its "no reuse/recolors of character models" pledge and that Dreadwin$ will not be a prepaint of Skyquake's mold.Sabrblade wrote:Nonsense.

And we've seen the prototype.

Dreadwing, however, has not appeared yet, being confirmed for season 2, and to be voiced by Tony Todd.
You were suggesting that Skyquake's toy got a name change, which is what I was refuting.metaphorge wrote:You are assuming, of course, that Prime is going to stick to its "no reuse/recolors of character models" pledge and that Dreadwin$ will not be a prepaint of Skyquake's mold.Sabrblade wrote:Nonsense.

It seems strange that we haven't seen any solicits for a Voyager jet mold (that is not Starscream) that we've seen as a nearly-complete proto and have gotten solicits for another Voyager jet mold (that is also not Starscream), though stranger things have happened.

metaphorge wrote:Actually that would be awesome; it would be nice to be able to get that mold for less than eight times the American retail price for a Scout.kirbenvost wrote:Rumble eh? Wouldn't it be a sick joke if it was the HFTD scout mold and they just packaged and sold it as a deluxe?
At the rate we're going, Deluxes will be about the size of Scouts in a year or two anyway:

Not if it matches the Cyberverse version:

Nice, I'd love a bigger version of that!
Edit: Waitaminute...I'm seeing similarities with movie Ironhide there. I really hope he's more of a G1 homage. If they want to give him the character of Bayverse 'Hide, okay, just as long as he's red.
Aside from the realy dumb ways Hasbro is handling it, this is still shaping up to be a really great line. The only ones I'm really unimpressed by so far are Powerizer Prime & Revealer Ratchet. I don't know where I'm going to find the space to display them all!
I don't remember where I initially saw a picture of the slide, but I found this one to repost the picture using Google image search. I believe this was taken at Hasbro's presentation at last year's NYCC, though it might have been at SDCC or Botcon.Hypershock wrote:Whered you find these images, 'hides my favorite

If you look at the pre-image of skyquakes voyager, his cockpit piece is clear (of course) and it looks like part of his forearms are translucent plastic as well
