Green? Got a pic?

Not all green

From these pics, the only green I spot is in the shoulders and cockpit with some on the head. Otherwise, he's generically golden-orange & white, as opposed to the "mostly green" comment made earlier.

Hey I dont keep the comics memorized in my head. But dont you feel the body style is similar ? I could see him on a classics shelf with a head that looks lesh "Primish".

I think this mold would fit better:

That would be "Beast Machines Returns" Jetstorm. He was a TRU exclusive in Japan.

Yep, and he was the same mold used in the US by Hasbro for Sonic Attack Jet and several other characters, including Jhiaxus.

I mis-matched the description with the BMR Ultra Class figure, when the mold shown was the Deluxe.

"Beast Machines" = English version
"Beast Wars Returns" = Japaense version

In any case, the picture of Deluxe Jetstorm on the last page was the original Deluxe released by Hasbro for the Beast Machines line. I think that's what we're trying to say, to prevent confusion.

This mold was redecoed into Jhiaxus for the RiD line.

Both the deluxe and ultra Jetstorms are absolutely GREAT toys by the way, and I'd recommend both molds all day to anyone who likes jetformers and metallic blue paint jobs.

Yeah, I know it was the Deluxe. I went researching for more info on it and came back with another figure's run-up.

Why go searching for info when you got TFWiki to give it all to ya?

That's where I went. There's no picture of the Japanese Ultra figure and I skipped over the part that mentioned it, so I assumed it was the Deluxe in the photo here.

No worries no worried, I just wanted to make sure we had everything straight.

His head is still rubber but has a little more detail than Dreadwing's head. I like the green and silver color color combo and his eyebrows had that orange feathered tip which Dreadwing didn't have (Dreadwing's should be gold to match his face).

I also like his dark orange cockpit canopy with the silver trim. Dreadwing didn't have that so his whole canopy is yellow as seen below.

As Skyquake and Dreadwing share the same mold, if you already have DW, you know what to expect in his transformation and poseability. The dark orange clear parts accent the gray / green color scheme on his body. SQ comes with his gatling gun (shatterwave blaster) and same sword that Dreadwing has. His gatling gun is still the same Mechtech gun as Dreadwing's with a different tip. Sadly, it also doesn't lock.

Pic from the back with the white Decepticon Seeker logos. He still ships with the tail section on his butt so you can push it up on his back for a more streamlined look. To my surprise, his rubber tailfins are not deformed as the ones I got with Dreadwing. Dunno if it's a lucky pick for me or if the others are also that way.

In conclusion, if you really like Dreadwing's mold and are a TF Prime show bot completist, you shouldn't really pass up the chance to get Skyquake. I was happy that our local Hasbro distributor listens also to the collectors and tries to get the figures that we want. Hopefully within the next week or so, the Dark Energon series will be on retail then after that FOC Grimlock.

He looks preeeettyyyy.

Can I has nao?

You and the rest of the fandom!

Nice pics Generator and welcome to the boards I think you just pipped my latest acquisition

Looks really nice. Makes Dreadwing look unfinished in comparison. I'm glad I decided to pass on Skyquake in favor of Dreadwing, providing I can get my hands on him.

The red and green colour combination - just in time for this season too. I shall now also call him the Christmas Jet!

So we've got Halloween and Christmas bots in the same line, eh? What holiday is next!?

Seibertron member Generator_G1 has posted a few additional in-hand images and a brief review of Transformers Prime Voyager Skyquake. Check it out below.

this may sound dirty but i cant wait to get my hands on his gun.
im going to give it the same treatment as my dreadwing.

I look forward to acquiring both Seekers. They will make magnificent editions...to my collection >:)

I was going to get him anyway, but damn this looks good.

Looks great, definetily looking great to Dreadwing. But I wonder how the Japanese version will look. But I thought he won't be coming.

So the bio says that he will bering terror to the Bots? Ha! He died in ONE episode!!!!!!! So ironic, yet so cheap. Darn that BB!
