    Seriously - the people who are upset because Metalhawk has a toy and show-accurate head (minus the undersized fin) are making me shake my head here.

    Perfect. This is going way up on my all time fav Botcon toys already.

    I don't love it, but I don't hate it. I'm a little spoiled after seeing things like this:[​IMG]
    So hopefully we can get a third party to remedy this in some way, Because from what I can make out of the figure thus far, I dig it.

    If this isn't the head of the Pretender shell, what's the point?

    I just hit the Transformers wiki... disregard this statement...

    With a human face like that, I'd sooner pose him alongside a Figma or two, rather than with other TFs. (I like the Masterforce concept of the Pretender form being human-sized, rather than the giant-shell-of-a-person idea in Western comics.)

    Since Metalhawk is clearly decoed based on the shell, I'm not sure that would make any sense.

    Well this explains what Pete@Botcon had tweeted awhile back with the half sculpted head in the tray:

    [​IMG]

    Cannot wait to see a clear picture of the finished product.

    looks like something from a B-movie set.

    but yeah Metal Hawk in pretender shell colours seems fine for me

    I honestly would have preferred the Cyclonus mold for this, but this version has really grown on me. I am not thrilled with how the alt mode looks but I am loving the bot mode!
