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.

Hate to say this, but that's not green. That's just the color tint on the comic pages. That's Jhiaxus in his RiD toy body. Fun Pub went with that one instead of his G2 body because they wanted a version of the character that has his own toy.Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Green?

Not all green, but can you see a few similarities in the body shape ? I think a new head and maybe some orange clip on armor could make him look like this TFCC Jihaxus. Just my opinion.

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

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.

Bio
Buried for ages, sealed in a state of low function that was not quite stasis lock, Skyquake waited for the day his lord Megatron might need him. He has the power to shake the very world to its foundation. The Autobots will learn to feel terror once again at the hands of Skyquake.
Tech Specs:
Strength - 9
Intelligence - 7
Speed - 8
Endurance - 10
Rank - 9
Courage - 10
Fireblast - 9
Skill - 6
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.
