The yellow highlight and the red canopy on the cockpit? Wrong Dreadwing, Hasbro:
Was that a deluxe class figure?
Yup, and an original mold among several retools to boot.

What was he retooled into?
Oh yeah that makes sense, and seems obvious now, my brain just interpreted it the other way when I first it.Jelze Bunnycat wrote:TK415 wrote:Jelze Bunnycat wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The red cockpit canopy on the chest and the silver horns above the yellow face are giving me King Atlas vibes, which I truly hope doesn't mean that Hasbro intends for this figure to also sort of double as King Atlas in addition to Dreadwing (in lieu of giving the king his own toy with his own proper deco) in the same way that the Skyquake toy doubles as both the G1 and Prime versions of him.

Nobody: what I meant was the majority of the Beast Hunters Autobots and Decepticons were retools of their Robots in Disguise figures, while he and a few others were original molds.

I'll still wait for the Machine Wars Starscream version, most likely with a new head.

My local Walmart finally caught up with current offerings... sorta. They basically skipped over anything past Deluxe Wave 1 and got Evolution Wave 2 on the shelves... but not in the system. Still no Core, which makes me

Looks identical to the one from the original toy to me...
