Mod Edit - Bios added: Jetstorm Bio
Jetstorm believes that if he has to set in a fight, he might as well fight dirty. He's spent ages perfecting his fighting style, studying all the cheapest places to blast or stab another robot. He's not the strongest or most dangerous fighter among the Decepticons, but most Autobots would rather go up against anyone else. When Jetstorm fights, he fights to win at all costs, so he does everything he can to hurt his opponent as bad as possible. Even when he loses, it's very rate that his enemies don't go away with shattered optics or limbs damaged beyond repair. Wingblade Bio
Wingblade is the best there is at what he does, and what he does is hunt Decepticons. The only Autobot with more confirmed deactivations to his credit is Ironhide, and that's only because Ironhide has been around longer. He trains constantly in both robot and vehicle mode, and maintains a database of vehicle scans so that he can rapidly train up in the new modes. Where other Autobots are scratched and dented, Wingblade keeps himself meticulously clean. He and his weapons are always clean, sharp, and dangerous.
Looking for a complete Energon Sky Shadow (from Superion Maximus).
Offering: Binaltech Hound, Swindle, Ravage (Corvette), Skids.
Can buy in stores: Robot Heroes Tigatron/Inferno, Ricochet/Predaking.

Double pass! | Kind of the point, though, in the real world vehicles aren't as colourful as they usually are in Transformers. |

Geek metahumor FTW.
I thought these were kinda boring at first also...but they're realistic paintjobs which I like--and are appropriate for the movie line. Both molds are solid also.
Wonder what the price'll be. Feedback here! Criminals are HOT. Quote: |

Kind of the point, though, in the real world vehicles aren't as colourful as they usually are in Transformers. | The real movie toys had accurate real world vehicle modes and didn't look extremely boring.
And the Cybertron toys ain't accurate to real world vehicles anyway so the white white white wasn't needed. |

I liked 'em, 'cause they were realistic, but they were boring.
And yeah, the Cybertron molds aren't real-world...but they picked two that were reasonably similar to real-world vehicles. I imagine that was intentional, as were the real-world (if boring) paint schems. Feedback here! Criminals are HOT. Quote: |

While Wingblade looks better in bot-mode now that I can get a better look at him, I still probably won't get him. As for Jetstorm, he looks even better up-close. He'll definetly be my Decepticon's "Soundwave". Also, about the realistic, yet boring, paint-apps, I like them, and don't think there will be any problem with Jetstorm fitting in with the rest of my collection. Quote:

But my favorite color scheme for the other mold is Sky Shadow, whom I just purchased from a fellow board member a couple of days ago. So that one's a no-sell. Junkion Feedback |

Especially Jetstorm. He's basically the same plane with 2 engines moved to the tail. |
