Yeah, I agree. I'm not thrilled about that. As much as I'm loathe to suggest such a human characteristic for a robot, I think she needs some lipstick (black or purple...maybe even evil red), to look a little more feminine.
The colors are nice- I especially love the metallic teal- but the helmet/head does look a little too masculine. Regardless, she'll have a place in my Decepti-fembot collection with Flamewar, Nightracer, Thunderblast, Airachnid, Howlback, Scylla, Fracture, Blackarachnia, Lyzack, Shadow Striker and Flip Sides.
As for Ultra Mammoth, I'm not a fan of shellformers, so I'll likely keep him in package until I develop a liking for the Beast Wars aesthetic or end up selling it.

That's so true. I wonder why would Has/Tak get it wrong.

the first edition mold is already too femenine for starscream, so it works like a charm
ultra mammoth looks good but i would have liked better a g1 colored big convoy

Fandom on TFCC Slipstream: Its too masculine !!!
Make up you minds its the same god damn mold.
It works for me, looks feminine as hell, just not so busty. Like a petite stripper. Goes perfect with classics collections.

Thank you!
Funny you mention the petite stripper; Mom's boyfriend was watching some movie with some stick-leggeed hooker lokking person with a pistol-grip M16 that's a good analogy for Slip zz
I think for me what bogs down Slipstream, and only the slightest bit, is the chin. Just like Animated, and every kitbash for Slipstream I've ever seen, he shin needn't be quite so long, a little more rounded off perhaps? But that being said, Slipstream is the reason I have withheld getting any of the Prime Starscreams, and I can't wait to get her.
The black side panels on her face kinda remind me of Airachnid's a bit. But Arcee's got them too.

It is possible for something to look too feminine for a male but not feminine enough for a female.
I think it's the chest. It's too broad for a female mold. she needs a smaller chest to put her in proportion with herself.

I agree, I must have Slipstream. Going to cost a kidney to ebay it but hell, I got two anyway.

Word of warning. This is one of the tallest deluxe molds since Animated Lockdown and Blurr. She's gonna tower over all the Classics Seeker mold toys.Rated X wrote:Goes perfect with classics collections.

Ultra Mammoth is cool. However someone on Deviantart had this idea back in 2010, so I'm gonna say Hasbro's getting desperate if they need to resort to stealing ideas that aren't theirs.
As for Slipstream, Perfect! This mold is a perfect fit for her. Definitely gonna track her down.

Ultra Mammoth does look good for what he is, and as much as I love Beast Wars, a lot of the non-Transmetals figures don't do it for me.

Definitely a different head. More helmet around the jawline and doesn't have Starscream's forehead spike.
