You're a total dousche, you know that, right?

I've heard rumors...

At least you don't have a Downshift neckline... that we know about. ;P (I keed, I keed.)

Missed out on Shadow Scyther, but was kind of daunted at the idea of getting a Shattered Glass Rodimus, too rich for my blood. Maybe if they settle down in the future or I get a startup off the ground I'll get one, but for now my Shadow Commander will only have the PerfectEffect guys to keep it company.

Offtopic I know, but I'd be quite happy if FansProject came through with an updated Shockwave to face down City Commander.

BTW, have we seen any pictures anywhere of what this looks like on Henkei Wildrider? I'm sure it looks fine in robot mode, but I'm dubious in vehicle mode.

I've mentioned I saw pics comparing them both in the armor.

I found these through a link on Sector 70 when I was browsing around a couple of days ago I think.

I love the kit but has FP made any comments to why SS doesn't match the comic or concept art?

I was hoping that my reaction to Scythe would change once I had it in hand. Negative, Ghostrider - the pattern is fail. Here's to hoping KO Toys has a Henkei Wildrider in the works. Why couldn't they just stick to their own comic design? Damn, FansProject... talk about a fourth quarter red zone pick six... 2011's 1st official EPIC FAIL. They could have totally made the Henkei Wildrider version an convention exclusive. To tease such awesome concept art then release something completely different is not only erroneous, but infuriating. Sorry, just had to vent the geek rage because I know there will be some kind of upgrade kit that's more fitting to the SG Rodimus. It's like I just spent 94 plus shipping from HK solely for the alt mode. Ugh... #-o

If FansProject wants to live up to the reputation of their motto, "For fans. By Fans.", they have got to make this right for the ones who bought Shadow Scythe for Botcon Roddy. Because as a fan of their projects, this release, up to this point, has me jaded. They could have at least given us some updates along the way instead of this blindsiding.
No purple at all on the bot mode add on pieces... really FansProject, really?!

I just saw Peaugh's review he is even more awesome.

I'd want to see some larger photos, but I do believe it looks better with Wildrider. Thanks for bird dogging those photos.
