I'm finding it quite amusing that I normally dislike Prime figures, but I'm loving this and lots of Prime fans seem to hate it.

 

Oddly his robot pose looks off; I'm used to seeing Dreadwing as a squat, bulky guy with his head down low, but that picture he's holding it high like Starscream. I wonder if that means his head articulation range is similar to that of Soundwave.

Also, his blue coloration seems on the bright side. I was more expecting a darker shade to go with how I see as his "Blue Angels" color scheme (the shark is more the color, but perhaps the picture was brightened to show off the detailing better).

Not surprisingly his Arms Micron doesn't seem to evoke his giant gun well enough.

 

That shark is awesome. If I get the US release, I hope they release this micron seperately so I can give him that too.

Love the Depth Charge homage!

 

I like this shade of blue a lot more than the dark blue.

 

I went ahead and ordered this along with Ultra Magnus and Ironhide. If I find them at retail or the Hasbro version online then I'll be canceling.

 

It looks like Dreadwing's robot mode pics have been stretched a little as he's supposed to be shorter and bulkier than currently pictured.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing this mold repainted as Thunderwing.

 

The mold itself looks fantastic, even if it is too skinny for Dreadwing. This is a definite buy on sight.
