It's Cybertron Downshift, I believe. A fine mould.

And in the colours I wished for the first time. And called Big Daddy. I hope it comes out over here! I shall break my toy embargo for such a fine item.

Ah, Downshift. Interesting. I am still hoping for a grey Cyb Runamuck though.

That isn't a bad colour scheme on that mold to be honest. A bit of a "street racing" look which I think works quite well. It's a good mold as well - nice choice of one for reuse. Karl |

Really like the look of Op's sword there. Might make me finally purchase a movie Op.
Jetstorm & Wingblade? Enough of the repaints! Is it me or are they going more nuts than ever for repaints? Hasbro that is.

Is it just me or does anyone thing that it looks less like Prime has a sword, and more like he's got a built in Xacto knife? Maybe he has an unrevealed hobby making model kits in his spare time? Cheap way to get more product on the shelves seeing as the molds are already done. Given that the movie toys are selling fairly well it makes sense to keep them on the shelves, so they'll be needing stuff fairly swiftly. |

Both those jets are very good toys.

Oh no arguement there, very nice toys. Just seems there's loadsa repaints, more so than ever. But as karl says, you've gotta expect it.

I see the Energon Skyblast toy has been re-issued as a Movie scout toy. I really liked the mould in Energon but never got round to picking one up. Now I see the toy is available again in the Movie scout line in two equally nice colour schemes. Now, to stay on budget, I can just have one but not both. But which one? Help me decide!
'Skyblast' has funky grey asthetics and was in the main strip in TF-UK #5!
'Air Raid' has a very nice patchwork green effect!
I can't stand the confusion in my mind!

Well, here's vote for "Skyblast" - I prefer the greys, a nice modern aesthetic touch. The splinter camoflage scheme is ok, but looks a bit too "World War II" for my personal tastes. (I actually like both of these schemes more than the original red and white anyway, so whichever you pick up I'd say you were on to a winner).

Skyblast, I acquired one during it's first release and it's a natty little toy, well worth having.

Ain't they the same mold ?

Hmm, I find I can't vote. I have the grey version, which is a fab toy- the mold is def worth having (I've called him Strafe by the way). I preffer the grey over the camo, however, I think, judging by the pics I've seen, Signalflare may have a similar colouration to Air Raid, so you may want them as a set.

Ain't they the same mold ? Yip, why is why I am deciding which colour version to get! Seems odd to have two colours of the same mould out at the same time. -Ralph |

I was wondering why Andy was voting Skyblast purely on the mold....
Got Airraid today, is nice.

Leave me alone! I misread it, I have headaches you know I'd play the age card but both you and Karl outrank me there!
I'm going to sulk!

I went with Skyblast. Just as well as the Air Raid's had sold out anyway!
Good toy, the colour scheme matches well with Armorhide. I have decided they work in the same commando unit. But will Skyblast find out that Armorhide is a dirty stinking traitor?

Oh yeah I'd forgotten about that! Armorhide IS a traitor! Decep. insignia on his key-thingmawatsit and not an Autobot insignia to be found on him anywhere!
Look out Skyblast!

Oh no! Skyblast is flying above the ironing board while Armorhide hides under a pile of socks, ready to snipe the flying Autobot!
