    Well, I finally got the fourth member of the wave. Overall I think Sky-Byte is pretty great; definitely top two. The drill is pretty awesome and is keyed to fit over his hand (it actually works with Prowl too). Just like the others in his size class, he ends up with quite bit hanging off of his back, I tried cleaning it up a bit, and the result is ...ok... But overall this guy is a lot of fun.

    This garishly colored flying shark robot with a claw that can wear a drill tank (car?) is by far the best garishly colored flying shark robot with a claw that can wear a drill tank (car?) in my collection.

    He also happens to be a highly skilled dentist with a gentle touch.

    This guy is fun but not worth $15 I’d say. Sky-Byte appears to be the best of the first set in terms of having two modes that look finished and a decently posable robot mode. The armor I wasn’t a fan of until I realized you could slide the drill over his fist, now I dig it quite a lot. If you’re going to pick up one to test the gimmick I’d say go for this one.

    I saw this at Target yesterday, but couldn't pull the trigger. I'd like a nice Sky-Byte, but I can wait.

    Okay, Sharkar mode pushed this from a "maybe on clearance" to a "... well, that's happening" purchase.

    Aside from the fact he's the only Spark Armor figure whose armor matches his color, the base figure itself seems fine. I'll probably go to town with some Gundam Markers or something, though.

    Disclaimer on Sharkar mode - it doesn't sit flush on the wheels. Too much bottomshark. :( 
    Truly a missed opportunity on Hasbro's part because, c'mon, it's the best mode.

    So just curious, how big is this guy in bot mode. Would he somewhat fit into a legends display or is he too big?

    The size is about what the old Cyberverse Commander figures were, basically "bigger Legends". I can take some comparison photos later with various legends figures.

    I like this guy, but man I feel he’s overpriced. The lack of a neckjoint is a bummer. Also the left elbow on mine is super loose.

    Anyone know what the hinge on the pegs that let the chest armor peg in is for?

    No neck?

    This went from super-want to super-pass. For $20 CnD it's just not worth it. If I get lucky and find it on sale I might grab it to give it a neck joint at least.

    And with some Cyberverse figures of other sizes.

    Thanks for that, I think he will work well enough for my basic needs. Doubt anyone else will touch Skybite in any form of legends size. Might mute the colors a little though
