    I heard a rumor that Sunstorm may be an exclusive of some sorts.

    Well, it looks slightly better than Thundercracker. And given how horrible Thundercracker was, SLIGHTLY better isnt really enough. I love those colours, but I think a mega-sized Starscream would have been the best choice. Although, the smaller the figure, the easier it probably is to repaint it, which is maybe why they went with Thundercracker instead of a mega-sized Starscream. Just a thought...

    I love the Hasbro exclusives (can't wait for Shortround) but I'm starting to get sick of Earth-planet characters. There have been way too many. How about some more Speed planet or Beast planet guys? The Beast planet really needs a new deluxe mold, Speed planet could do with a Dirt Boss repaint... not to mention the Giant planet has only three characters.

    Of all the great deluxe toys from Cybertron to repaint... why the hell pick Thundercracker?

    Geez... Swerve, Swindle, Galvatron, Dark Scorponok, Excellion, Sky Shadow... I was starting to get to know Cybertron as a line with actual quality in their repaint designs... then they go and pull idiotic, pointless, pathetic moves like this and I remember "Oh yeah, it's still the same people that thought up Universe Snow Cat"

    I have LoC Skywarp and I like him better than I do Thundercracker, who's colors are already perfect for his mold, he doesn't need a second attempt. The only Skywarp in Cybertron should have been a repaint of GF Starscream, if it looked so good on the tiny version the least they could have done was upgrade it.

    A bit too much purple for my taste. It really doesn't capture the name "skywarp".

    I had such hopes for this, but man did they fuck it up. Screwed up the colors and the mold. The LoC looks so good, and this... ew. I'll probably get it anyway since I love Skywarp, but this doesn't even look him. Looks more like the generic seekers in the botcon PVC pack.

    It's way too bright. With more black it'd look a lot better. Someone else said that as well. It's meh. I'd buy it but will be hoping for clearance/discount price.

    I was right, unfortunately. And seeing as though I'm a Skywarp/Thundercracker collector, I will cry when I pick him up. :(

    I would've preferred the tradition Skywarp purple and black colors, but the color scheme still looks fairly nice. Too bad it's the Thundercracker mold.

    Nice! It's a great mold. Good to see that it's getting more use. He'll deffinitely be bolstering my Decepticon ranks.

    yeah, and Skywarp was released as an LOC from the Starscream mold too, but lookie what has happened to HIM :rolleyes2 :

    this is freakin' ******ed. I had hoped for a different seeker paint for each of the three seeker molds, but this one makes NO sense what-so-ever after getting it in the other mold already :mad
