    I don't get it myself, sure it's an excellent reuse of that Beast hunters mold.... A really really good reuse.... And it would be awesome if they released that, the beast hunters mold.

    Also Silverbolt is actually coming.

    I hope Needlenose gets heavily remolded into Megaplex.

    They would need to take creative liberties Megaplex is boring.

    I don't think this mold is right for any Jetfire, but I'd love a set of G1 Jetfire/Macross Valkyrie-style rocket boosters for Skyquake.

    I'd love to see a Legacy version of this mold too, especially if it had Cybertron Soundwave's deployer chest. Mindwipe could probably make good use of a minion.

    Best thing about Machine Wars is that Starscream is way huger than Megatron. Making them the same toy misses the point entirely.

    For those wanting a Silverbolt, I don’t see it. That BotCon one was going to happen solely due to the animalistic features of Beast Hunters Dreadwing, which this mold lacks, making it not much of anything.

    It'd be kind of cool if they have all the upcoming deluxe jets (even if they're entirely distinct molds from Needlenose) have that connection piece to Skyquake - MW Megatron or Megaplex being able to attach to MW Starscream would be a cool new feature

    I dunno..That looks like one of the funky generic converting toys you see at walgreens.

    I loved TFP. Skyquake and dreadwing are waaay up there for me. The specific episode where Prime meets Skyquake in the arctic is one of the best episodes of the entire series.

    I picture Skyquake and dreadwing to be Beefy, Bulbous, and "muscular" looking. The Original voyager mold is really better looked from what I see here. Its just looks so wrong from so many angles. Do not like how flat he looks, The gun almost looks "skinny" and weak..Instead of that Huge Chunk of barrels and motor he had in the show..

    I know this is a "reimagining"...Yeah..That dont look that cool to me, and im a complete sucker for any and all Jet/Plane TFs. This one looks weird.

    Doubtful this mold gets repainted so many times. They don't do that for Leader toys that aren't Optimus, Megatrons or Galvatrons anymore.

    I\'m absolutely looking forward to this. I haven\'t bought any of the Prime-verse figures that have come through Legacy, but this looks awesome.

    Cause Megaplex should get a new mold lol.

    I hope he gets a new core class figure (not exclusively to him obviously like for all that share his mold).

    Reusing him once isn't "that many times", and we're talking using the Skyquake mold 4-5 times.

    I still say turn the figure around and do some retooling and you’ve got MW Thundercracker and Skywarp, since it’s a similar jet (the wings).

    IDK man, he's barely a head shorter than SS86' Grimlock, has the full suite of WFC era articulation (sans the rare hand joints), and in a twist we don't see at all anymore with jets, landing gear and an opening cockpit. I'd say he screams "Leader"
