    Dreadwing looks lovely.

    As far as I know Commanders who have head articulation that moves side to side are the following:

    DOTM: Shockwave and Guzzle (small amount, can be modded for more).

    Prime: Optimus Prime and Bulkhead.

    Thank you!!!!!!!

    He looks a little shorter than I anticipated (or hoped for) but he looks amazing.
    He's actually pretty much in scale with Megatron so that is great.

    OK that's creepy...your desk, wall partition and Cisco phone look exactly like what I'm looking at right now at work. Go corporate homogenization! :lol 

    Can't wait to get Dreadwing, he's my most anticipated Commander.

    Gerwalk makes a cool figure even cooler! Lack of a head swivel is a bummer, but not enough to deter me from buying one of these!

    Here is my short summary of the toy.

    - Great articulation
    - Colors are spot on
    - robot kibble at the bottom, but understandable
    - One of the better Cyberverse Commander toys out there.
    - No neck swivel, which is a bummer.
    - weapons are bad ass.

    Now, on to the pics!

    (Apologies for the pic spam)

    Already been looking forward to this guy, but that is one -hell- of a gerwalk mode. One of the best I've seen, and certainly so on a toy this small.

    Just got him, and yeah, he's awesome. One odd thing though: his wings are pinned and locked in such a way as to suggest that he was originally designed to have wings that fold into his back in bot mode. I guess this was eliminated due to cost or safety reasons; the wings can now wiggle a little but don't have the correct type of sliding pin to allow them to be unseated and folded. Might have to try a mod once I find a second one.

    Commanders are where its at for me now. I mean...DAMN dude. That toy can make action figure, Robotech, and TF fan happy as hell.

    One of the cases here where the wavemate works well with each other, and is a solid no brainer to buy both. How do IH's cannons look on him in Jet mode? Kinda like big rocket pods?

    Great pics too

    Ironhide's cannons actually don't work too well on Dreadwing, mainly because Dreadwing's kibble prevents the cannons from being straight. Also, the cannons are so big that they look more like oversized jet engines than rocket pods.

    Now, if you happen to have a couple of Guzzles, though, his three-tube rocket pod looks perfect as an underwing store for Dreadwing.

    Putting the main guns on looks kind of wonky, because of the way the missile pod barrel folds out; it looks like he's growing huge gun barrels out of hammerspace in front of the leading edges of his wings. The pods themselves, though:

    Both of these look great. They've popped up a few times in my area but I keep missing them :(
