I gave him points for those but what kills it is the huge backpack and lack of any neck movement/posing.

Simply having the wings fold in or back would have made him so much better.Or had the tail wings attach to the legs.

Thank goodness he's not a Seeker. I got this guy just to take parts off of for a customs project. but of course, why not tinker with it first, eh? wow. HATE IT. jet mode looks ok, robot decent, but in todays day and age it's unforgivable to me for a TF to have a 100% immobilized head. unbelievable. hell, all it needed was a double ball-joint stemp and the head could've been able to pull out of the cockpit and also then have full articulation. CHEAP BS. Thank goodness I only got it for parts, otherwise I'd be pissed at wasting 12 bucks.

I thought the exact same thing! I did manage to come up with this though:

Does look better but for 13+ bucks i expected more from hasbro.

He's on my list of toys I'd like to get, but pretty low. I have a fondness for really goofy looking toys, and this guy fits the bill. Still, I do prefer GOOD toys over ones I like for the goofy factor. I'll be thinking a little harder about actually picking this guy up now. All the goofiness in the world won't fix a toy that isn't really fun for me. Movie 07 Dreadwing barely met the fun minimum... and was among the first to go when I needed to downsize, for example... but he sure was funny to look at!

I do understand and respect that they're trying new things, though. Can't win every time that way though. Other times, they hit it out of the ballpark, though.

i just cant get past the colors on this guy to pick him up...maybe if they do a repaint.

I picked him up today. I actually like him quite a bit. He has awesome feet, they're so big and sturdy and clunky looking. The color scheme could be darker, but I like it for what it's worth.

Those ankles look like a feature or something that ended up getting scrapped, though.

Not that it really helps much but the two vertical tailfins on his back are supposed to swing up towards his head.

I like the way he LOOKS, I hate that he has a static-frickin' head! The backpack actually works, it's clear he is capable of flight or hovering in robot form.
