    Dragoyell is a repaint of Classics Nightscream, the dragon minicon.

    Dragoyell was initially announced as a limited edition of 2,000 copies. For some unclear reason, the 2,000 copies were drastically reduced to 1-10% at maximum, with Dragoyell becoming a Lucky Draw micron.

    In alt mode, Dragoyell is a Western dragon, just like Classics Nightscream. limited articulation for its jaw, wings, neck and tail.

    I find the color scheme to be quite refreshing, with more details and variety than most other microns.

    In robot mode, Dragoyell is again a straight repaint of Nightscream, albeit with a much more interesting color scheme. It's a shame that one of the most generous paint applications covers the belly of the dragon and the calves of the robot, usually hidden from sight.

    Compared to the other versions of this mold, Dragoyell is one of the most interesting ones. Universe Brimstone is quite competent as well.

    Two other microns complement Dragoyell to form what I named "G1 Minicon Team", a repaint of the Classics Clear Skies Team.
    - Henkei! Henkei! Cybertron Sling, repaint of Classics Thunderwing
    - Henkei! Henkei! Skyglide, repaint of Classics Steel Wind

    Another repaint of Thunderwing, Noise Effect, was already re-assigned to the Classics Clear Skies Team, making that a four members team.

    Overall, G1 Dragoyell is a great repaint of an OK minicon, and is probably one of the rarest microns outside other Lucky Draws. Because of its rarity and cost, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it, but on its own merits I give it a 8/10.
