    Beautiful shots! Those decos really are gorgeous. So tempted, but I already have Skytread and I'm getting Red Alert soon. Hmmmm

    Cheers. I wouldn't in any way say they're essential and they're likely to be in much less demand than the Skywarp set, so if you're on the fence wait for a price drop. Slamdance made the set for me.

    I really wish the colors were broken up a bit on slamdances legs. It’s just a sea of red.
    Some of that grey plastic used on his arms and maybe some extra blue and silver details would really make the legs match the upper body better.

    Nothing about the toys themselves, but WTF is an "Alphastrike Counterforce"?

    That's rather an oxymoron. An alpha strike is an all-in, decisive, pre-emptive attack. Meanwhile, "counterforce" implies that they're reactive.

    Thus far, eBay and a couple of online retailers in the Far East, or who source from there, and have sold through.

    See Reply 22 in this thread for where we think they'll end up.

    Had to do the fix to protect my Slamdance from breakage, but otherwise a great fig.

    Sideswipe is also great, thankfully his vehicle mode back-half folds up flush, some versions of the mold I've gotten have had weird trouble with that .

    UNFORTUNATELY the right door-wing thing doesnt want to close up right in vehicle mode for some reason. Anyone else experiencing that?

    I loosened the screw on his left foot before I moved it, and I did move it up and down a couple of times but I don't want to really test it too much.

    If anyone has a Trenchfoot they would part with please let me know. I’m not interested in the other figures. Thanks!

    Mine has some minor qc issues including sloppy paint and Slamdance's left foot needs more glue.

    Is there a way to keep this flap with the tailfins down when you move the knees? Only one of them stays down.

    Goddamn, Slamdance looks amazing with Cog's parts. I'll get a picture when I get home but I adore the combination.

    Mine arrived via Prime delivery this afternoon.

    No complaints at all.

    Great figure. even if I don't care for G2 Sideswipe. I'm calling mine something else since I already have the regular sideswipe. I admit, I only bought it for Slamdance, even if it's not the actual Cassetticons he's named after.

    Fun recolors overall.
