I think it's at least half bad. I hate how this mold is nothing more than a folded-up robot attached to the bottom of a plane. The plane doesn't even transform; it's just attached to the robot's back. LAME.

I love the silverbolt mold too. I may pick this one as I am kind of digging the color scheme.
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

I really think the mold is a great one. It is so freaking G1, and that is why it is so polarizing I guess. It has a good, G1-ish, simple tranformation as well as a very G1-ish bot mode. I love it. I think all repaints of it are appropriate.

As said before, it is extremely difficult to hide all the bot parts in an airplane alt mode. I think the Classics/Universe Starscream mold is better than average as far as this point goes.....as well as the example stated earlier.

Who cares about Gen 1? Lots of G1 cars had robot legs that were stuck together and had no articulation. Should they continue that just because G1 was like that?

Compare this mold to Universe Powerglide, which is actually a plane that transforms into a robot. Or Classic Jetfire. Or the good old Deluxe-class Classic/Universe Seeker mold. Heck, even the G1 seeker mold actually transformed from jet to robot.

At least he isn't as bad as RoTF Jetfire. I like that figure, but talk about an alt mode that shows too much robot!

I dont if i can justify buying this same mold again, i got silverbolt pretty cheap, and Dreadwing and his colors homage is near perfect if not right on, but Skyfall i do like the colors, the homeage, but the mold is getting old...FAST!!! but i know me, I'll probably buy him, but ill wait for him to hit the shelves and then and only then i'll make my decision...

I kind of agree with the seeming over use of the mold, but realistically there are only three of them including this new one. As a fandom we've seen much worse molds used many more times than this. I agree that the Darkwing is the best of them all though, because at least it's paint is interesting to look at, and while I love this mold to death, the Silverbolt is just pretty bland looking.
