I'm so glad a tanker hooked me up with a black HISS, looks much better than red. Without the chrome the red one looks dull, almost generic. I hope this is not a final version. As for the driver, the helmet/head is great, the body...ehh. I'm not a big fan of those long firefly legs

Hmmm, the more I look at that pic from Toy Fair, the more I think it wasn't metallic/chrome. Perhaps it's just the lighting/flash making it appear that way? Regardless, if it looks like it does in the Gyre pics...I won't be getting it.

It looks metallic in most of the pics, really.

It looked mildly metallic at the con as well. Maybe his is still a preproduction version. If not then it will be slightly disappointing. Although I will have 5 of those drivers.. LOL

I hope the final product looks like Gyre-Viper's. I'm not fond of the red nail polish look and the black parts look MUCH better than the grey ones.

I get the feeling that Reprolabels will make a set of decals exactly like this so we can make our own Skystriker Seeker squadron. They'll probably make Starscream, Thundercracker & Skywarp. If they don't they're nuts!
In fact, I'm sending them an email right now suggesting it. It looks like we don't really need the SDCC version, all we need is the decals & a little paint. And I'm sure customizers will be making their own Thundercracker & Skywarps out of the regular release Skystrikers. I'd rather have Skywarp over Starscream myself, Skywarp was my very 1st Transformer & still my favorite. Last edited by Steelgrave; 07-15-2011 at 07:46 AM.. |

Fixed now. I had also intended to mention (in conjunction) that Hasbro could have gone cheapy and just put a purple tip on it and called it macaroni but actually went the distance and painted it. So NO it is not ACTUALLY physically longer... if you put them next to each other there's a slight ILLUSION of Starscream being longer but I just meant "longer" as in I'm surprised they didn't cheap out in the end considering most of the vehicles we've gotten of late have been a bit on the lazy side. Especially considering how much they put into getting us a new Sky Striker at all.
