    It takes real talent to make all 3 modes of a triple-changer look like ass...

    Seems ambitious, but I feel there is already a much better Sandstorm representation available by Hasbro.

    For classics collectors yup.

    I reserve judgement until we see some dynamic shots/colour shots. Kinda wish they'd show Blitzwing though.

    All three modes look super average and I already have a perfectly serviceable Sandstorm from Hasbro. Pass.

    I just can't seem to get behind anything UT does. Best mode here for me is copter mode. The ring float he's wearing on his waist in bot mode is just one of the things that kills any chance of a boner.

    I have no expectation at all that their Blitzwing will impress me. I sound the clarion call for Choices!

    buggy reminds me of one of those boat cars, and I feel like they always but the elbow joint way to high up the arm

    It looks ok, it just isn't anything I need or want on my shelf.


    Perhaps "bland" is the word I'm looking to use for it.

    Uncompelling, but that's my attitude towards Sandstorm in general I guess.

    I instantly preordered their Octane when the latest pictures were posted. But this one... Maybe coloured pics would help, but I don't feel the G1 vibe here. Head and face, helicopter alt mode I can live with - but where is the banana backpack? And the overall proportions...I don't know...

    Edit: I could not live with it. I don't like him.

    The elbow joint is definitely too high, which bugs the hell out of me on figures that have that. Fix that and we'll talk, UT.

    Some... Interesting design choices with this one... I'm gonna stick with the hasbro Sandstorm I think.
