Got one from BBTS today. Pretty decent figure, joints could be tighter though (and the rotor could be looser!). Head reminds me of Cybertron Crosswise.
Definitely a winner; As a Purdue grad, I'm a sucker for black/gold TFs. The transformation looks straight-forward, but the hand reveal is pretty clever.
When i saw Arnold i lol'd…wait…I lol'd @ Arnold…I'm a poet! Excellent review again EmGo! You're making our great state proud with your awesomeness! It is funny how every time you review a figure that i don't like, I find myself wanting to buy it the next time I'm in town. ( @ Walmart Toy in Hand "Wow EmGo is right this guy really is great….wait a second!"). Thanks again for another great review!
Good Lord, I'm glad I didn't waste my money on stolen samples this time around, BBTS got both Tomahawk and Terradive in stock in yesterday for $14.99 each. Yay!
This! And if I haven't met the required Bayformer quota for the year, then perhaps I'll paint this one green, keep it in alt mode and call him Springer!
This review has solidified my opinion – I really like the figure but not as an Autobot. If it gets the repaint/new head treatment into a 'con, it shall be bought.
the Choppa joke got old after the third time it was used, it just grated with me within the review but during the intro it was pretty funny.
the figure itself looks really good though, glad to see that hasbro seem to have finally accepted that the 'push button to rotate blades' gimmick makes helicopter transformers suffer. part of the reason Tomahawk looks so good is that they decided to go without it.

I confirm that I'm already tired of that figure. Took me about a day. Boring mold. Terradive is more fun.

The ball joints on the hips are rather loose on mine. Time to break out the clear nail polish.
As far as the figure goes, I wish the kibble on the left arm would peg in better like the right arm does.
Other than that, I'm liking the figure quite a bit.

A black helicopter Autobot – I better save up on him!

I like it, there are so few cool helicopter transformers

This easily looks to be one of the best deluxes this year.

Really love the look of this figure in both modes. Will definitely be picking it up.

EmGo, that opening was HILARIOUS. And Arnoldisms don't get old. Go ahead and use them as much as you want.
BigPhill
I like the look of this one. The headsculpt makes me think of Crosswise from the Cybertron line, for some reason.

Bought on sight. So far Hasbro is really making me poor with every release.
