    The Silverbolt mold looks better as Darkwind than it did as Silverbolt.

    I really like the Universe Silverbolt mold. And from what I can tell from the pics it looks good as Darkwing too. I'm looking forward to picking this up and displaying him with my Botcon Dreadwind.

    Bumped into both of these guys in TRU in Leeds today - passed on both. To be honest as nice as Darkwing is, he is still a naff Transformer. And Countdown looks great but just too big for me :(

    Dude, calm down, we're not lucky in the least. Hell these are the first 2009 transformer toys to be seen in stores over here, universe and animated are still just wave 2 and 3 in non import shops
