Generations Sky Shadow Bio and Additional In-Hand Images

Posted by El Duque Nov 10, 2011 at 9:08am CST 69,226 views
Courtesy of the Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group we have the bio and some additional in-hand images of the soon to be released Generations Sky Shadow.

Don't mess with SKY SHADOW - he's one of the most foul, dark-hearted DECEPTICONS in the galaxy. He takes no prisoners and always finds his targets. Even the evil MEGATRON shudders when he hears the whine of jet engines in the distance, for it may be Sky Shadow coming for him!

For some reason when I see Junk Heap's face, I think Weird Al. Oh the wicked circles that HASBRO weaves...

Thanks for the side by sides, I think that both of these are bought on sight, but if I never see them I will not be worried. They are nice to haves, not the must haves that Wreckgar and Thunderwing were. I guess I can sell that second Wreckgar I picked up too.

Black/Sky/Dark Shadow is that rare retool/repaint that actually improves on the original. Very nice.

Junkheap on the other hand...

Here's some clarification.

"Black Shadow" = character's name

"Sky Shadow" = toy's name (like how Straxus's toy was called "Darkmount")

"Dark Shadow" = no such thing. It was a typo mistake.
_

"Junkyard" = character's name

"Junkheap" = toy's name

Really? I rolled my eyes at the thought of them putting him over as a big enough bad ass that Megatron fears him. Isn't Overlord enough of that kind of thing? Keep shoehorning characters Megatron fears into the fiction and he seems like a sissy. Just my opinion.

The figure looks okay if not a bit boring. The remolds are nice touches and I applaud the effort. I'll add him to the collection because I like the mold but I still don't care about the character for good or ill. Junkheap looks about as good as expected. Two will be plenty, I think. Let's hope the next usage of the mold is a better homage to Junkion native colors.
:BOT:

Once again the fine folks of the Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group have shared a great gallery of an upcoming figure. This time we get a look at Generations Junkheap, complete with packaging shots with bio. Check em' out below.

Assembled and raised in the scrap pile, JUNKHEAP is a supremely resourceful bot. It was he who helped orchestrate the repair and reboot of the disabled ULTRA MAGNUS. The mighty AUTOBOT was so impressed with the talent of JUNKHEAP that he encouraged AUTOBOT RATCHET to spend extended leave on Planet Junkion to hone his repair skills.

So Magnus sent Ratchet to Junk after a scene that occured after Ratchet bought the big one. Nice.

Both Wreckgar and Junkheap should've come with a dang gun as well. I dislike melee weapons on TF's as their primary weapons.

I'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed that, I thought I was being a massive continuity nerd :-B :oops:

Hasbro, me-thinketh your continuity copy writer didn't do their homework >:oP

That aside, I have both of these on pre-order and hope to have them next week =P~

That's very dirty! :KREMZEEK:

You continuity nerds have started this unknowing continuity nerd to think...and that's never good.

Must be a different Ratchet and a different Magnus.

Believe it or not, there have been some depictions of Megatron in which he was incompetent and/or pitiful (looking at you, Marvel G1 Megatron as written by Bob Budiansky). ;)

Huh? How? Deszaras didn't look like that.

Well, while it may not work for the G1 movie, suppose these toy bios represent a world in which Ratchet did not die. After all, toy bios can be seen as their own continuity. ;)

Far too much thinking required for me 8-} ;)

On a more serious note I'm suprised it got put out, the post '86 movie isn't exactly minor continuity for a line aimed at collectors! #-o

I love them both! I think Wreckgar is better looking than Junkheap, but I like the red and yellow on him.

By the way, isn´t Ratchet d... ddd... hummm... never mind.

As everyone above said...this can't be the 86 Movie continuity, because Ratchet was long dead at this point :-B :P :lol:

Maybe in a running package change, it'll be edited to "First Aid" 8-}
