The same ebay seller who brought us the
Generations Warpath images has also listed an
auction for the upcoming DOTM Voyager Skyhammer. Check out the mirrored images below.

Wow. He's pretty sweet!
Probably the most promising figure i've from the line so far IMO. He has a more traditional TF aesthetic compared to most of the movieverse figures.

That's not his real head is it? It looks a whole lot like the classics Ultra Magnus repaint of classics Prime. If it is then it is a pretty cool design and unsuspected for a movieverse head mold.

Not too sure about the rotors wrapping around his torso, maybe he's mistransformed. Overall though I'm really liking this guy in both modes.

SkyHammer looks good, but man i hate that god forsaken MECH TECH weapon!! It reminds me soo much of the oversized weapons that came with the Rise of Cobra figures.

A Heli-former where the rotor doesn't hang off the back or the arms? sold.

Why (the hell)do they gave them all this ugly huge guns? (somebody overcompensating?)
It was wonderful idea to made weapon body-integrated in first two movies (but i`m gonna kill slowly those wo write the story, if we ever met, anyway).

This is currently my only must-buy DOTM figure. He should make a good Classics Whirl.

That's a pretty sweet Helicopter transformer. Very nice asthetics and proportions.

Wow, that's one very impressive robot mode, especially for a movie figure!
And as others have said, a helicopter based TF that actually looks good in both modes (even though I agree with Duskfall that his alt mode looks like Tomahawk.)

couldnt they have painted him a different colour? Perhaps go for blue, gold and red like the original Skyhammer.. he looks too much like Tomahawk with this colour scheme

I'm inclined to wait and see how he's repainted - I mean, released at the very beginning of the set he should certainly have time to be redone - but that didn't work out so well with RotF Stratosphere. :/

Nice looking figure I wonder what character it repainted as, speaking of repaints as I recall a while back we had the instructions for G2OP, Tomahawk, Thunderwing and Terradive with different head sculpts, any clue as to who they are and when they will be released
P.S. sorry for going of topic

I was thinking the same thing, but I like it! Like a beefed-up version almost. This guy is actually really cool, I just hope he has good leg articulation. I still might wait for a repaint though.

May be the best copter TF yet. Great bot mode. Great alt mode. Copter mode actually reminds me a lot of the old Mil Mi-24 Hind Gunship the Soviets used back in the day...anyone else getting that vibe?

I REALLY like this guy.
He and Shockwave are my Buy On Sight (BOS) figures for the movie.
There are a couple more I want to get, but those are the only ones I really need.

Blackout, Incinerator, Blazemaster. Took them 3 years but it looks like we finally have a decent Helicopter figure.

I totally see the modernized Hind look. I really like this guy. The blades folding over the chest, the TRANSFORMERS looking head mold (not cyber-bug-face-movieverse crap) , nice hands, nice color....only the meh tech weapon looks bad. But, why not call him Whirl?

With that head and a different paint scheme, I so totally see a much better Movieverse version of Evac. Or, if you prefer, Live Convoy...

You know what I really like about Skyhammer? No third-leg tail in bot mode!
I want to see him in profile. While I like the idea of the blades wrapping around Skyhammer's torso, I do not want them to stick out too far. They appear to have pegs about half-way down, so the blades shouldn't stick out that far. Though Skyhammer could also have a very wide torso...
