Siege WFC-S27 Decepticon Phantomstrike Squadron: Skywarp, Terror-Daxtyl, Fracas & Shrute

[Philip Ayres]

Skywarp - Starscream repaint

Can't say I'm wildly keen on the Voyager Decepticon jet, purely from the point of view of seeing the Strike Planes show up regularly in various scales. Yes I know 2+ repaints of every Strscream probably keep the line in business. I've got some friends who think Voyager forms of their Earth modes would be nice, but what I'm after are the 1984 colours for all three on CW Starscream.






Null rays are rather lose on the arms, holes slightly too big if trying to attach Bttlemasters there was anything to go by.

Jet and Tank mode



What you mean it's *NOT* meant to pop apart like that?

Jet with Starscream



Had Starscream two months, first time I've transformed him, which is probably a measure of what I though.

Terror-Daxtyl - Pteraxodon repaint

One of my favourite Battlemasters, glad to see him get a second go.

Would like one in Swoop colours - both sets - though!












Gun mode was VERY tight in the fists, had a fist pop off rather scarily but attached again easily.


Decepticon Fracas - Firedrive repaint



I prefer the inverted colours he has on the box which make him look much more different to Firedrive





Introducing our guest stars: Legends and Titans Return Scourges












That works well. Now to decide which one gets him long term!

Shrute aka Hairsplitter - Aimless repaint

Now this is seemingly aimed at being one of Spinister's Targetmasters - see Siege Astrotrain, Apeface, Spinister and Crosshairs revealed! if you didn't know Spinister was en route. Obviously he's not out yet so I can't get a photo of them together.



Love the blue blast effects but I can' help but ask why aren't they orange to match the rest of the set?






Triple Threat Skywarp!






My set came from Taiwan via eBay.

Just don't have the words for them these days, concentration is shot again.

Not written a word of DW for a few months either..... but I do have a certain amount in hand there....

I NEED SKYWARP!!!!!



Not so fussed about the little guys though except for the Dino chappy.

How is the chest om Skywarp? Does it have a pin or is it loss like Starscreams?

[Philip Ayres]

No pin, it's designed to pop off rather than break

The pin variant on Starscream was a custom/fake.

In fact the chest popped off in my bag on the way home from Skywarp's trip out for lunch!

[duffism1981]

Thanks Phil. I just wasn't sure if they maybe modified the design slightly after how loose some of the Starscream chests were.

[The Doctor]

The mould has this far been unchanged on all the Siegekers right down to the mud splatter deco.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

Shame, that. Surely they should have realised that would be obvious with seven figures using the moulds.

[The Doctor]

Did the Takara release ever come out?
