Transformers Prime Voyager Skyquake Released in Philippines

Posted on 12-09-2012 at 06:00 AM by Sol Fury under Transformers Prime

We have a reported sighting of the last pre-Beast Hunters Voyager from the Transformers Prime line. That's right, Transformers Prime Skyquake - who many of us had given up on as a victim of "late line release cancellation" - has been found at retail and purchased in the Philippines! The purchase was made by BoggeyDan on DeviantART. He has also shared some thoughts and in-hand photos of the toy, available at the link above.

Hopefully this means that Skyquake will be making it to the US in the not-too-distant future, and make Transformers Prime the first Transformers toy line in a long time to make it through retail with 100% of the announced toys released.

So he's out in the Phillipines it appears. Good news for the ones freaking out that he'd be cancelled.

mother of god... YES! YES! thank you deviantart thank you jetbolt, thank you sweet jeebus! I had a second Dreadwing that, if I couldn't return, I would eventually repaint, but seems there's no need =D

FatalT 71

That news should probably be frontpaged since folks were rather worried he wouldn't see the light of day...

Wheeljack_Prime

Hope BBTS puts him out in time for my POL to arrive for Christmas

Member Jetbolt posted this in the Skyquake thread in Toy Discussion, just wanted to get it out to masses.

Hopefully some of our fellows in the Phillipines can confirm this sighting, as that's where the DA user lists his location as.

So, hopefully good news for folks waiting on Skyquake (like me!).

(if this is legit, Mods please ensure Jetbolt receives the news credit as he posted the news over in the Toy forum).

jizz!

It's legit. Skyquake is out for retail purchase on Toy Kingdom - Manila.

WheelWave140

Hell yeah! To quote Starscream "Time makes all things possible, I can wait"

Timesynch

Neat. I look forward to getting this guy next to his bro (and likewise modding his weapon so it locks out and can be held underslung).

vproject

Yep. He's already out here....

xanthax

I literally did a fist pump when I saw this. I was kind of concerned he would not be released with him being a mold in late waves of the line. I am stoked to get him. That green is very easy on the eyes.

UltimusPrime

This made my year. Now I can be certain that I will own this figure!

NC Bulkhead

I just went from six to midnight!

Come on BBTS, get him in!!!

Big Filipino

Hooray. A small consolation for the Philippines in lieu of the Pacquiao loss.

Thundershot

Yesssss....

maku098

Totally buying this!

bobbyjack

If my BBTS preorder doesn't come in time Christmas, it will be okay. I have been waiting to ship my Prime FE Voyagers until Skyquake showed up. My son's birthday is a week after Christmas so I can wait a little bit longer.

vproject

Another pic with price tag. It's cool he also has Dreadwing's sword so they can both dual wield those blades...

Ra88

Wow, I like Dreadwing's colors better, but this guy has got some wicked good paint going on.

acscream

he looks really good... how long till we get it in the uk....

Probably be like Breakdown and not be released and only in China, but that looks amazing.

fallen_revenge

Just when I thought my Prime. Collection was done I forget about Skyquake!

What makes you think that? Breakdown wasnt hasbro... This is. Plus it's a repaint of one we got here. Breakdown wasn't released by hasbro, but this is. I'm sure we'll see it.

Might Gaine

Does his gun lock in place when it's extended?

Not at the moment though, hopefully near future.

Amen to that. Anyone want to buy a fellow TF Prime fan one and I can buy it from them?

Digilaut

The cooler version of the twins, in my opinion. Glad to see he's still being released.

Paladin

Paint looks kinda disappointing.

I'll be thrilled if he's released in America too but I won't break myself trying to get one.

your joking right? we just got dreadwing......... not to mention the wait for magnus and thundertron........ i can see beast hunters wave 1 hitting uk shelves and us missing the last 3 voyagers......... only for a store like home bargains to get them for next x-mass....... le sigh.
but i would love to be wrong.

hopefully he gets nice wide distribution in the us.

Bossguy

I hope he doesn't have a rubber head, if he does, which he probably will, I will pass.

HeavyArms

Yesssssssss

ex dtw2003

Is it me or is there more paint on the CVC version?

Love the color but he does look kinda bland in bot mode.

Doesn't on Dreadwing, so i doubt it (?)

MrFX

Alright! The last Prime toy that i want.

Then next year I can get Shapeway's guns for these guys.

shockwave2005

Hmm, I was thinking about picking up Dreadwing again (I sold off my first one prematurely), but I might just hold off so I can pick up this guy. The deco looks really well done.

Prime Jetscream

And yet, I still don't have Dreadwing.

Wyvern

I was goin to buy this guy just because its a great looking mold. I don't really collect or watch Prime. But after seeing pictures of the actual figure.... I'm gonna go with Dreadwing.

sh002

yup keeping my preorder

Karhukjnsi

HOLY GOOD GOD DAMNIT YES! I was worrying as this is the Thunder Brother I wanted most.

tigerhawk16

great news I have had mine preordered on bbts right before they sold out I cant wait to get mine!

heres hoping will have some aftermarket show accurate blasters for him and dreadwing soon to go with them.

charsdc2

Nice! Wondering how much would he run on eBay!

What do you mean by Thunder Brother? Is that what Dread and Quake are actually supposed to be called?

Nonetheless I am glad Hasbro didn't cancel Skyquake like they did with DOTM Soundwave, Leadfoot and Que. Hopefully they made lots of Skyquake or he's in another wave next year?

Snake_eyes1975

Ill pick it up if I see it. but the color seems for forest green than the olive drab in the show

RedAlert Rescue

Yeah it will a Prime crime if guns very like the ones on Shapeways don't get made - the way they work is clever and heck you need it for recreating how Dreadwing bows out of the TV show.

It maybe possible to get the guns to stay open by removing or unhooking the spring inside it.

Necro Prime

Ihope they hit BBTS soon then.

TCJJ

It looks like a nice repaint, and I look forward to owning this mould (again - because I'm a sucker), but am I the only one who is really turned off by the grey? It worked for Dreadwing (especially the Arms Micron version, which has a darker grey plastic), but Skyquake just looks..... bland. I think the darker grey plastic like the AM Dreadwing would have worked better.

Exodus

Now to get a Breakdown come on Hasbro
