lol that last image xD
Glad I ordered my Lynxmaster too. Hound looks cool. Though this one is only slightly better painted imo, it's the Ratchet limb that made me want him.
I only wished they had used those legs on Ironhide too, to make him more like a van instead of another pickup truck.

Looking at the Sky Lynx comparisons, I can finally determine a difference other than the weapon colours being different!
... the ratchets on the front legs are red instead of white, and the whole neck is red instead of the bottom of it being white. That's... that's about it.
Hound somehow looks better to me than the Hasbro version despite the only slightly different deco. Not sure why.
I'm really not sure about Ratchet's headsculpt, given a closer look...
As for Wheeljack... I actually like the Hasbro vehicle mode better than Takara's. It's coloured better and I've never liked the cartoon-accurate light blue windshield Takara always goes for. It just looks bad and pastelly and out of place.

As far as vehicle modes go, I feel Hasbro did a better job on Trailbreaker than Takara. Hasbro has all those extra tampos in truck mode on the side, breaking up the black and they have all the windows pinted too. Sure, the front isnt painted as much, but for what its worth, I preffer having painted windows and have paint applied along the figure rather than condensed in one spot.

And that Ratchet is pretty cool. Looks way better as Ratchet than CW Ironhide look as Ironhide.

I also noticed the inside of the mouth is red, versus Hasbro's gold. I did not notice the 2 swords on Hasbro's Skylynx.

I just realized something about UW Baldigus. When configured into Flight Mission, Dangar as a leg is backwards from how he was originally.

That's pretty common for the CW/UW line, though. Superion's legs are backwards, Menasor's legs are backwards, etc.
I'm pretty happy with it because it's far more visually interesting and appealing than looking at a crumpled up robot mode. Accuracy be damned, Superion looks cooler with plane legs and I don't want my articulation hampered.

I think it's just a bit of silly fun with a 'dragon' being on the good guys side.
.... though I feel like Sky Lynx would be really annoying to work with, and the play would just devolve into him directing himself as ALL the parts.

TFSource dropped the price on Baldigus down to the more reasonable (and competitive) $159 from $199. went ahead and canceled my BBTS order, save myself $6 in shipping.

If it helps, Sky Lynx has practically no differences from the Hasbro version. The biggest most noticeable ones are his weapons are red instead of silver and the inside of his mouth is red. From there the only other differences are that some of his hinges and ratchets are red which barely makes a difference.
We won't get a US release unfortunately.

Sky Lynx, Wheeljack, Hound and Trailbreaker should still be available at TJMaxx for cheap, Ratchet however remains TakaraTomy exclusive if one doesn't count the BotCon one. A Prowl redeco, Smokescreen, takes his place.

Even though they no longer exist, Hasbro can't release a Bot-Con mold at mass retail. I really, really wish we got those extra weapons with UW Bruticus.

The mold isn't the problem if it's Hasbro's own sculpt, it's just the Fun Publications designed sculpts that can't be sold at retail. Just like how they released Deluxe Thundercracker after BotCon did theirs Hasbro could easily do their own Ratchet just as long as he was in a different deco from the ones BotCon used.

Hasbro release CW Ratchet at retail and those who paid half a million dollars for his unpainted self on Ebay just stare into the void, unblinking. What have they done.
