March 2014 IDW Subscription Variant Covers - Possible First Look at Upcoming Sky-Byte Figure Design?

That is totally a toyetic design. I love it!

"Infinite" is an overstatement, tbh.

Hmmm, hinge the shoulder plates back instead of up, then move the shark face from butt to chest...yeah, those are the logical first steps to fixing the floppy, easily-removed-and-lost kibble problems of the TM2 Cybershark mold. And it's been 3 and a half years since his last toy, so it's about time.

Looks like the ex-spark-crystal in his chest rotates up and back so he can still have an aerodynamic shark nose.

Awesome as it'll be to have R.I.D. get its due representation in Generations, would Beast Wars fanatics also get to count him as continuing that recent parade of homages?

The Body Reminds me of Sideways

I Know there's no possible way they'd reuse the engineering, but it's an odd resemblance

Nor the same design, either.

Oh, it is similar, yes, but this one's more stylized in a toyetic sense.

I don't know about this one, guys. To me, TM2 Cybershark/Skybyte is already a voyager sized figure; and other than his kibble and lack of rotating right wrist (say that five times fast), that figure is still pretty good by today's stamdards.

But both faces look wonky
Probably bad art
