    Why Skyhammer has gray head and silver face?
    Is it a trial version at some development point, or just a custom repaint?

    I'm going to be the first to say this but...

    Watch the kitbash boards, I GUARANTEE that there are going to be some Skyhammer into Whirl bashes...

    Most of these look pretty good, but I'll only be getting figures that actually appear in the film.

    Thanks for supporting!
    But this thread is sinking fast....I wonder if this thread is helpful afterall?

    Anyway Just want to note:
    1) Skyhammer was head-repainted
    2) roadbuster was touched up
    3) Crankcase is confrimed to have short finger version, hence proof that I didnt' kitbash it
    4) all picture are just taken and cropped with out PS, Acturally I don't like heavy photoshopping....do have such skill anyway

    Afterall I just want to recommend the DOTM toys line as I think they are very very fun to play with, compare to M1 and M2
    Can be enjoyed by new TF fans or older Classic fans. Try some of the good one and you will love it.

    P.S. I will update JP version V OP today later :p

    Allow me to translate some of lush's comments:


    He said:
    The alt mode is diff from US version. He listed some of the differences, you can probably tell from looking at comparsion photos though, so I am not going to bother translating. He said there are slight remolds, and paint apps and colors are slightly diff.

    Its missing the tanks, as you can see clearly. He said one of the biggest difference in bot mode are the heads. The lightpiping somehow works a lot better on the Japanese version.

    Remolds can be seen in bot modes as well. namely, chest, knees, and feet.


    Trailer:

    Lots of details.

    There are almost no gimmicks to speak of. No rollar, no turrent/repair bay.

    paint apps are different
    slight remolds on a lot of parts.

    I spotted leader Sentinel Prime at Target (South Florida) today.

    Almost picked him up, but I was very bummed out by the muted red color.

    I was hoping to be almost a firetruck red like this picture but it is more like this washed red.

    Also, Target had 5 of them on the shelves and EVERY SINGLE ONE had paint problems on the chest gold centerpiece.

    Hopefully we'll see a better repaint.

    Damn Air Raid looks dope. Amazing what a decent head sculpt and color scheme does for that mold.
