Via Dengeki Hobby, we have some new images of Takara’s upcoming Legends fembot figures – those being Nightbird, Slipstream, and Blackarachnia. The photos show them off in all their fully-colored glory, in both their robot and alt-modes.
Check ’em out after the break, and let us know what you think in the discussion thread!

Starting off a comment with 'real talk' instantly makes me not care about what you have to say.
At all.
In fact you may as well have started the comment by saying 'Im kind of going to be a bit of a dick here'.
(And now somebody else will predictably jump in and say they dont care what I have to say etc)
Slipstream is whatever she needs to be, perks of head canon

Just killed my pre orders for Nightbird and Slipstream. Don't need Nightbird, and Slipstreams head sculpt and wings kinda bug the shizz outta me. BA is getting a home still.

Yeah that's true and its a shame.

TFSource has them for pre-order as well.

Never heard people complain about the mold until now. I found TFCC Slipstream to be quite a gorgeous figure myself. The mold has a decent transformation and decent articulation (no 5mm pegholes on the hands though). Headsculpt was solid and the paint apps definately made it pop as Slipstream. Since Starscream had a slender build to begin with it also works as a fembot. II have yet to own the Windblade mold but I've heard many complaints about it. I dunno if I'd recommend TFCC Slipstream over Takara's new Slipstream but I'd darn well recommend TFCC Slipstream in general as it's a good figure.

Which is not necessarily a bad thing but the mould was still ill-suited for Slipstream.
I really didn't like it, it was a pretty simplistic figure to begin with.
Plus, it's definitely overpriced for the kind of figure it is.

I love that mold. Tall slender and an awesome f16 alt mode. That windblade is ok at best. The alt mode sucks

That tfcc works for me. The paint on it is awesome I don't have it hunched over. Very feminine mold. Taller than windblade too. Sits on my MP shelf

…That made the TFCC a must have for me. Though I still haven't dropped money on it.
But yea…between this Slipstream and the TFCC one, this is gonna be the one I choose to actually be Slipstream.

It's Starscream in Drag versus this one which is a female Seeker.
Bountyan
yes

The Windblade mould has its flaws (which are mostly focused on her heels and her little stability) but it's still much, much better than the Prime Starscream one which I always found pretty bland and awkward looking.

The club Slipstream is pretty hunched over and disappointing, IMO. This version is gorgeous.
