My guess is that the wings are too pointy on the ends to be able to use the hard clear plastic, or too fragile on the drop test, and so they had to use something softer and had to settle for that color sprue.

Cybertron Sideways (coming in a Walmart capsule next year) from Straxxus? Or Vice-versa?

Straxus is a Leader, Sideways is a Deluxe.

I can't see it, especially if you consider the chest design to the guy. Also, Sideways was a short, stout character and figure while this Jhiaxus mold seems more designed for taller, lanky bots. Not sure it would be a good fit.

Sideways was tall and lanky. I thin you are picturing someone else.




The chest can be retooled to match Straxxus better.

He's very much the same general idea as Straxxus: flying thing with a large gun on top.

Ahh, did not realize Sideways was a deluxe. and Straxus was a Leader. Well so much for my idea.

Yeah, I saw it, after I posted. Relax.

Ignore the suggestion then sheesh.

For all the complaints against Vector prime it sure did sell out pretty fast! lol

Nothing of interest to me here, Vector Prime looks alright but not enough to warrant $35.

Leaders can be deluxes...with GUFF

I don't think Vector Prime is that bad. Just like Jhiaxus, he's a bit too simple for voyager, but it's this or nothing. For what it's worth, I also thought he should have been leader sized brand new mold. Jhiaxus could be used for Armada Thrust. Preordered Comic Grimlock. Any idea when Straxus will be available?

Hot Shot is a nice sided deluxe, good and big!

Vector Prime surprised me with how good he looks. not perfect mind you, but I wasn't expecting that retool, and he looks pretty decent.

*sniff, sniff* What was that?

I'll sit an commiserate with you. I apparently also have reading issues...see my edit above.

Okay, not sure who corrected what, but I'll meet someone errrm...one quarter of the way and agree that I always loosely associate Cybertron Sideways/Noisemaze with Jhiaxus in that he looks like he should be repainted into one of the Liege Centruro's Cybertronian flunkies. Is it possible the designer actually based him on some of Manny Galan's generics in addition to whatever shuttle design his alt is supposed to be?

That green and white redeco is the one of the few possible products of all these Cybertron 20th anniversary updates that I'd buy the $&*%! out of!

Probably no coincidence that those same three Decepticons are together in Transformers: One.
