    Wow! I kind of written this off, but that looks incredibly clean! I'll need to keep a closer eye on this one.

    Can. Not. Wait. I've been looking forward to this guy since he was announced, and I'm so happy with the end result. Love being able to fold this guy into the TF universe.

    So... what about the original Sky-Byte? I thought he was coming out first unless that changed.

    #1 is Sencho Barbossa, #2 is Haiku, #3 is Tsunami.

    I think there was also a Sharkticon/Gnaw colored one in the comics.

    My only question mark is QC... which is always the question with KFC. Anyone have the black version and can vouch for its quality?

    Looks great! Interested to see the price.

    His should cannon isn't proper "over compensating" proportions though. Fourth party cannon, anyone? :)

    I just worry about how the cannon attaches to bot mode. Hopefully it's secure like that

    Look great. I'm not crazy about KFC's head or face sculpts, but the bot/beast mode is beautiful.

    It's a damn shame that this a thing that has to be said and considered. I dog most of KFC's designs but buying a figure is equal to flushing my money down the toilet.

    Not very interested in this character, but I cannot deny the obvious good quality of the plastic used in making this figure.

    If QC does stack up with this guy, then KFC just might be doing a 180 on the over all quality of their figures. I hope this figure/line does well for them as I would like to see what other projects they have planned down the road.
