    Could you upload a photograph of this please? I really want to get a hold of this figure and I'm afraid I will pick one up with this chip and hate it. Thanks in advance! :)

    This guy rules. I love how the heli blade fold around his chest. Awesome idea. I thought I was going nuts about the "remove the blades" thing. I pulled on that thing like a gorilla wrestling for the last banana of the bunch.

    Got mine today, LOVE the figure, but HATED that blue face. Fortunately you can not only unscrew the head off, but the face splits into parts for easy painting! Used a silver paint pen, and now he has more of a mouthplate feel to him. Woo hoO! The cool part is, that when you take the face off, the helmet looks just like Drift's! You can also remove his visor and I painted some blue eyes on him that look pretty cool underneath his visor.

    Seriously a great figure. Love the little sculpted details, especially on the bot mode (the pop out leg panels are a bonus, too).
    The only issue I have is that mine already has a stress mark on the one panel that covers the head in alt mode. Nothing major, but still a bit annoying.
    Also, he looks fantastic with Highbrow's miniguns on the wings.

    Just got mine, love it, wicked bot mode, fun transformation, yeah I might do the silver faceplate thing cos the blue is a little....out of place, but over all very nice.. One thing though, dunno if anyone else has experienced this, mine has two left tail fins! An upside down one on the right, clearly a factory f'up. Doesn't really bother me that much but might be something to watch out for! (this was a boxed US release one from ebay)

    I got mine on Friday. I really like it a lot, with the exception of the lack of thigh swivel. Those knees have some seriously awkward rotation.

    Skyhammer is, as I see it, the best toy to come out of DotM so far and it's not even close. As with Shockwave, everything has a place to peg in (except for those intakes above the canopy; what happened there?), and they found a very clever solution to the usual chopper TF conundrum of "what the hell do we do with these rotors?" I wish even HALF of the robots from the movie could look as cool as this guy. I would love to see the mold get a repaint as a Decepticon.

    I'm stretching for bad things to say. The proportions on the helicopter mode are rather weird, the Mechtech weapon is a piece of crap, and the leg articulation probably could've been handled better. None of that dulls my enthusiasm.

    Skyhammer looks GREAT with Sideswipe's mech tech weapon. Just cut off that ridiculously dinky scope. Also, the rotary cannons from HFTD voyager Highbrow look great in both modes.
