Honestly, I haven't considered buying Skyhammer until now. But after seeing these pics, he's definitely on my to-buy list. Good proportions in both modes, no annoying kibble...definitely worth the money.

yeah, I like it.
very cool transformation.
and I like the mold style, somewhere between movie and classics. (having hands and a face among other things)

I think you're right on. Even both of their names suggest similar hand-held devices.

THAT is freakin' DOPE!

As an aside, something I've been meaning to ask around on for a bit, where's a good place to buy little stands like that online?

Folding the rotors back from his chest is pure brilliance on the part of the designers. It's something new and it works so damn good.

It's hard to find anything to complain about with this guy, but I don't like his feet.

Other than that, i'd put this up there with one of the best figures from all three movie lines.

Honestly, he gets ulgier every time I see him. I can't bring myself to buy this thing. Yet, I think almost every other figure I've seen in the main MechTech line (which is excluding Human Alliance) is a must-buy for me. This is the only MechTech series figure that I definitely do NOT want.

And I think this goes to proove Skyhammer was meant for those who prefer Classics figures, because I want this figure, but I do not want any of the others we've seen.

Holy slag.

I must be the only one who doesn't like this guy at all but loves the rest of the line.

I'm not sure if it's really this, since I equally love the classics (although I only started collecting recently). I just don't like Skyhammer, and I don't like the look of Tomahawk either. I don't know why, but I just do.

by **Swiftpaw** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 10:23 pm

Holy heck, a Mech Tech weapon that doesn't look hideously oversized compared to the figure! Maybe a little fat, but it looks like a large rifle or cannon instead of being the comparitive size of his own arm

Though he looks plenty well armed even without it with those arm barrels and smaller pods, and I love the very unique style of his rotor placement in robot mode.

Definately one of the few DOTM figures I'm fully sold on getting.

Love it.

Man! i hope this is Hasbro's version, loving the grey/silver painted head instead of the white looking Ultra Magnus head! Either way, I'm won with this guy!

by **Pr1meSuspect** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:57 am

Easily the best figure to come out of DOTM. According to the comments, looks like everybody will be getting this guy. For all the crappy figures we've seen so far, it almost looks like Hasbro took any of the good parts of the previous figures, making the previous figures totally such, and Skyhammer ultimately awesome.

I still say Skyhammer, Shockwave and Megatron will be DOTM most wanted voyager class figures. I'm not even interested in Deluxe or Leader Class movie figures, the 3 I mentioned above will do, until RTS, Genline and United comes back from it hiatus trip when the movie fandom is over.

Reasons why:

Skyhammer: unique design, the idea of having his rotor blades fold back like that is pure win and the engineers have their head on straight, not up their A$$ when designing something like this and perfect balance between robot and alt mode.

Shockwave: G1 looking in bot mode and some G1 aesthetics there, but alt mode is OK-ish, but how many people is going to keep or display DOTM Shockwave in his horrible alien tank mode? huh really? not me.

Megatron: This Megatron is different and its nice seeing him in a different alt mode, beside the cybertronian space craft and or tank mode was getting weak with me and Megatron using the old rusty fuel truck from the military is an awesome idea i think and he just looks cool. Again its my opinion about this and these will be the only 3 ill buy from this line.

Really sweet. He moves from my 'considering to buy' to the 'buy on sight' list.

by **esclavo** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 9:56 am

Skyhammer, Shockwave and Sentinel Prime are probably the only figures from this line I'll get.

I'm loving the shite outta this figure. So far I'm mostely sold on the Votagers save Prime and Ironhide.

by **Wraith47** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:28 am

Reminds me of Beast Wars Silverbolt.

by **OlivusPrime** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 1:13 pm

Very cool. It would be great if he was in the movie, but if he was, I can predict that he would have 0 minutes of screentime. Hasbro are doing well in convincing me to go against my "no film appearance, no buy" rule. I may almost get this figure.

Looks like a cross between Sideswipe and Blackout... which is just pure awesomeness.
