Hate to be nitpicky, but these two lines have only six syllables each, instead of the proper seven. ;)

Ah. Got it. I'm so used to hearing 'different' as "dif-rent" and 'world' as one syllable. :roll:

Actually you're right about world.. it's just one syllable... changed it nonetheless :)

Brilliant. Well done with the haikus. This article immediately brought a smile to my face. :grin: If they don't put his tech specs in haiku, they're missing a huge opportunity.

Here's something I wrote a while back.

Sabrblade wrote:I may be able to make it to BotCon this year (may, as in, I'm still not sure). But, I won't have the money to register for any attendance pachkage. Meaning, that I won't be receiving the G2 Redux box set.

While I'm really not interested in Spark, Clench, Breakdown, and Streetstar,... I WANT THAT SKY-BYTE! =P~

Is there any possible way that I could get my hands on that Sky-Byte at BotCon without having to get the other four figures with it? And without having to pay for it in gold?

Some Primus Package people buy an additional loose set to sell at the con. However, it's pretty unlikely that someone will sell only one figure, as it is very easy to sell the whole set together. Unfortunately, the easiest way to buy a single figure from the boxed set is to look on ebay a couple weeks after the con. Of course, then you'll probably end up paying around $100 or more for the single figure, depending on its popularity. You could also try finding other people who want a figure or two from the set, and go in together to buy a loose set off someone at the con. Check the bulletin board on Friday and Saturday to see if anybody is selling one.

Personally, I really like Skybyte, except for that ridiculous facial expression.

Nice poem! :lol: You know, I actually have the original mold (Sharkticon), and I never even thought of him as Skybyte. Makes one hell of a Skybyte, though! :lol:

I would only be there Saturday and Sunday (as a general admission attendee). So, Friday wouldn't work. :oops:

How could you not? With the exception of the lavender purple color and the translucent teal green, Sharkticon's entire color scheme comes from Sky-Byte.

Incidentally, can someone transcribe his techspec, or share a clear pic of it? I want to try and make a personal copy using a G1 tech spec template I downloaded.
