A lot of the late G1 toys from Europe had amazingly unfortunate color schemes... the original Thunderclash was white, gold, aqua, dark blue, and red, with pink windshields, for example, and this toy pretty much replicates the original colors for Skyquake.

I fear for what we're going to get for the rest of the BotCon toys...

I'm well aware of that. It doesn't change the fact that it's an ugly color scheme.

I wish they had used a bigger Starscream toy mold (like the Galaxy Force one, or even the big Cybertron one would make him one impressive behemoth).

Um, he looks pretty damn sweet. I have a real soft spot for the whole Turbomaster/Predator/Powermaster II period.

I really like this figure. I don't mind the colors at all.

So far, I'm really only impressed with these Starscream repaints actually.

I good idea for a homage but that mold is too small for what was a large character.

Ironically enough, G1 Skyquake was used for Machine Wars Starscream and now Energon Starscream is used for Skyquake. ;)

the-arker.com- Even more images of the rumored Botcon Skyquake and Leozack add-on figures have been posted by yayabeee at The-Arker.com. These two figures are both repaints of the Energon Starscream mold.

You can see the whole gallery which includes Leozack compared to his G1 self, and the two new repaints with the G1 repaint of the original Energon Starscream by clicking here.

You can see a few downloaded teasers below.

I'm just surprised that nobody remembers the hassle from last time.

Still, decent redecos. Nothing in particular to write home about, unlike Scourge or Kup.

Man, I hope I can get me these two, and all the others too while I'm at it.

Leozak is strikingly Dreadwind-ish, especially in Alt Mode. I like these two guys, but not too fond of Kup and Scourge, so I'm still having mixed feelings about this Set.

Leozack has a much better color scheme than Skyquake.

The more people that don't like these means the easier it will be for me to get them! BWAH HAHAHAHAHA! P.S. Love them!
