Aww man... just saw the bot mode pictures, and as a huge fan of the Shadow Scythe concept art, I gotta say this is a HUGE letdown. First, the fingers on the fists are RED. I know I can easily paint those digits white, but for 100 bucks, why couldn't FansProject just stick to the silver that both SG Rodimus and Henkei Wildrider have - hell I would've been happy with off white. Another detail is the face... there's a choice between a red repaint of Protector's face or a silver predator looking one - a true deviation from concept art indeed. I was really looking forward to the face sculpt from the preorder artwork. And then there's the total lack of visible purple in the bot mode add on parts. I had no idea that I ordered a FAILBURGER upgrade for my SG Rodimus. Make no mistake about it, this Shadow Scyther set was made specifically for the Henkei Wildrider. I rested my hopes on the concept art for Shadow Scythe, and that was a mistake. I understand that many may not share my disappointment, and that's fair. Wow... it kills me to say it, but as a repaint kit for Shattered Glass Rodimus, to me, this add-on is FailProject.

Was expecting a tad more purple..Should be a good repaint though ..I knew ordering a extra protector would be worth it..

Looks absolutely evil with that red detailing on the front of the trailer.
I have to give FP credit, because they promised us that we would have both sets by this time, and sure enough they delivered.
For me, I personally don't find this repaint all that appealing. I know why it was made and I think it's incredibly cool of them to accommodate a very small part of the fanbase, and they kept the price low too.
Still, impressive work, all around.

I like this set much better than Protector and was waiting for it's release. I'm not disappointed.
I like the red detailing on the scythe and other bits. Unfortunately, i only have Rodimus and not the shadow version but with those red details i think the red of Rodimus poking out here and there just might work aesthetically.
Nevertheless it's a thing of beauty.

More images of Shadow Scyther have been posted, this time in robot mode. They were attached to an ebay auction for the armor set. Secondary market prices on Shadow Scyther, Shattered Glass Rodimus and Henkei Wildrider have really shot through the roof. These images show us both faces.

Oh how it pains me that not only did I miss out on Wildrider, but also Shadow Syther.
I can't help but see a cheesy smile whenever I look at the secondary faceplate.

I've got to admit, I like this black repaint!
Cool add on product.

The same place Sidearm goes in Alt Mode maybe?
With the answer to that being "Doesn't look like it attaches anywhere that I know of."
Might be able to stick the scythe pieces inside the trailer, albeit without being attached to anything.
Anyways, Loving the Silver Face for this one, compared to Rodimus'.

I saw pics of this set a couple of days ago comparing it on SG Rodimus and Wildrider, and I find it pretty neat how the colors seem to work for one or the other in slightly different ways, almost to the point where it might be a travesty to not to have both Wildrider and SG Rodimus to display with it! Since I have neither one, I guess it doesn't matter.
Also
this scene makes more sense now.

This is a cool set...much better paint job than the Protector armor I think...
That being said, this may be a horrible business decision on their part. This armor was designed for Shattered Glass Rodimus...however, the number of figures produced of that character is EXTREMELY small compared to the potential sales base of Rodimus (Henkei and Hasbro). They could make a serious mistake if they make as many of these armors as they do Protectors as tons of product will sit in warehouse because there simply aren't as many SG Rodimus figs as regular ones. Hope this doesn't bite them in the ass.

After looking at Scyther, I've kind of lost my excitement in the figure. For the cost of getting this on the secondary market, I just don't feel that it's worth it. Doesn't look as bad ass as I thought it would be, the Scythe's serrated teeth look off. So I'll stick with MG Gundam Deathscythe..

Video chat on the next Podcast. I'll just waive Shadow Scythe around until you change your Canadian mind.
