^ lol you got me. 
Sort of. While it's a nice repaint and I'm not saying it's a waste, I won't be buying it because the character is of no consequence to me. I am impressed by the shade of silver plastic they used though, it looks a little nicer than a lot of past silver toys. Nice head mold too. 
Too bad he still won't stand very well...
It's hard to tell from these pictures, but it appears not, possibly? Looking at the slot on the side of his hip-joint piece it appears to be closer to the front than the back which means it should be okay.
My Swerve was actually not misassembled, but it was a Canadian release so I don't know if that says anything.

Nice colours. The Autobots have too much bright red already. It's nice to see something a little more subdued.

The only thing stopping me from liking this mold is the shoulders... I really wish they weren't so limited.

As with Skids, the shoulders are a nuisance, but not a deal-breaker.MINDVVIPE wrote:The only thing stopping me from liking this mold is the shoulders... I really wish they weren't so limited.

Yeah, they're definitely misassembeled, comparing the images to my Skids.

Hope it's easier to find than Skids was.

It looks decent but can't say I like the Skids mold enough to own it twice. Sad cause I'm the rare person who loves repaints. Those shoulders and the fact that he constantly falls backward annoy me too much. I hope this is the last time we see this mold honestly.

I'm usually just absolute hell on repaints which is why I am now having quite the moral dilemma here. This is a great looking repaint and I would not hesitate to pick this figure up. In fact, I'd pick this figure over many of the other figures in the Generations line. I love the Skids mold, I love the color choices on this repaint... the only issues I have are: Who the hell is this and why are we getting pics of this kind of coolness when we can't even get figures on the shelf that were SUPPOSED to be out two months ago???
Sorry but it just pisses me off that Hasbro can nail one out of the park (with a repaint no less)when, in all honesty, it doesn't even count but can totally screw the pooch on so many other figures that SHOULD kick ass but end up sucking it instead.
I give the figure itself a solid A+ and I give Hasbro a heart-felt F-U.
Unsurpassed, jaw dropping effort in exactly ALL the wrong places! You made Armada Starscream look like absolute sh** but you made one BRILLIANT repaint for a character most of us haven't even heard of and could care less about. Good freaking job!

I'm not sure why you blame Hasbro for this - they want you to buy the figure just as much as you do. Fault with poor distribution likely falls on the brick & mortar retailers.

I thought he was supposed to be silver. I guess I should have known better.
