I'm such a sucker for these black repaints. That is one badass looking figure. However, it won't be joining my collection, since I have no place for it, nor desire to spend that much.

Well... I will call him Skywarp and do a lil' custom painting on jetfire to make him Starscream... so now we need a blue version of this mold for Thundercracker :)

I see it's sticking more closely to the original Jetfire paint layout, which is a bit of a pity really seeing as it means the part of the cockpit will leave a view of his face in jet mode. Not that I care much for this one anyway. It keeps reminding me of that mis-colored cell from the Rhino dvds. I dunno why, but it sticks to me that way now.

They sorta already did. His name is Tread Bolt. He is blue with yellow painted stripes which should not be hard to remove.

Oh yeah! I forgot about him... might work... he'll take a bit more custom painting though... his arms & legs aren't blue either

So does Robotkingdom send out a shipping notice or do things from them just show up?

I would like to know the answer to that also. I've got something else coming from them, too. Do they hold orders until all the preordered items are ready to ship?

This is not Dark Skyfire nor Skywarp... This is Gentei Stormcloud. ;)

Welcome to the board, KOTOYS!

This figure is one I'll probably have to see in person before I make a final decision on. Net pictures just won't do.

He's totally the bastard child of Jetfire and Skywarp's sister, Darkstreak. (that's right, I randomly name things)

I don't think they do combined shipping... but, after having searched my emails, I remember they do send shipping confirmation.

Should have just called him Skywarp instead of creating another mythical character. do one in blue and call him Thundercracker.

Wrong mold buddy. There's certain characters that we pay homage too, this mold has been pretty good with them, and it is not meant to be used as a seeker repaint. Dreadwing and Treadbolt were fantastic.

Don't make it sound like the repainters are doing bad job. This is 200x better than the crap we've seen in the movie lines - Defender Optimus Prime, Too Much Bumblebee, This is getting sad Sideswipe. This is actually creative. And do the names really matter anyways? If you're turned off from a figure because of it's name then something is extremely wrong.

That is just beautiful. :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE:

Though, "Henkei Gentai Darkfire Dark Skyfire"? What's with the "Gentai" and "Darkfire" names?

I get that "Gentai" is an obvious misspelling of "Gentei" (as in "Gentei! Gentei!"), but... "Darkfire"? :???:
