I’m in the minority here, but I’ll be surprised if they retool ANYthing (including the head) for the G1 Skyquake, if they even do it. Don’t get me wrong.. I HOPE they do…
TF Hot Rod
Think he looks fine.
Dinobot Snarl
Open up a little man, it's the perfect blend. It's very inspired.

I know, I just feel that he should have less G1-ification given how much Hasbro has been priding themselves on it as of late. I don’t see a reason to G1-ify something that will eventually get a full blown G1 retool.
Dinobot Snarl
It's Prime Skyquake as if he existed in G1. Just like the others.

Does anyone else kind of get annoyed at the headsculpt? When they inevitably retool this into G1 Skyquake, he will definitely not retain this head, and I’m guessing all “Primey” parts will be retooled away, so I don’t see the reason to have the G1 elements in this figures head at all. It’s probably a non-issue but that’s something I’ve been wanting to say since this figure was leaked.
Edit: The crux of my problem is that it feels like a useless reference when they’re just gonna completely get rid of it for the inevitable G1 retool.

I managed to get him, if barely.

G1 version in the pipeline? I hope this won't be another Galaxy Shuttle clusterEf
Gamerlingual
Still. G1 sounds tempting
Fafnir72
Anything to help! Good luck!
TF Hot Rod
He’s not fully on shelves everywhere yet but no I don’t expect him or most to fly off the shelves instantly, but I don’t think he will just sit there and shelfwarm like Coronation Starscream.
I’ll get the mold just as G1 Skyquake and Prime Dreadwing.

If I need to wait til august to save money, I’ll do that. Prices are going up for food. If I can get it sooner, I will for the right price. But yes, amiami seems best
RangerXML
He still looks good when you get him into a pose, I just don't see him being a "toy".
Fafnir72
Now I know why Amazon can ship free if it breaks the $50 barrier!
Amiami at Y5570 or roughly $43+. But you'll have to wait around Augustish.
And his QR codes don't work too
Gamerlingual
Ah. He’s flying off shelves? I find his headsculpt to be meh compared to the original. But the transformation looks fun. It’s one thing I have mixed feelings about. Maybe I better wait for the remolds instead of this one
TF Hot Rod
Probably not.
Gamerlingual
Yea even Emgo says that. I just wonder if he’ll be a shelf warmer
RangerXML
The backpack on this guy is a nightmare, people are so desperate to get it to fit together there are people removing the nose cone, removing just the landing gear, threading the cockpit through the backpack, etc. to figure out how to keep him to hold together. I hope that Dreadwing is a remold with the cockpit in the front and fix some of the issues with the backpack and the lack of heels so the figure stays standing.
Robogeek28
Oh nice!
Gamerlingual
Sounds like no sale. Copy that
