Just in from Sonic Bomber-Core on Facebook is our first look at the upcoming Legacy Evolution Deluxe Shadow Striker!
An homage to the Cyberverse character, the keen-eyed out there may recognize some features similar to RID2001 Side Burn. Perhaps this mold has retools in its future?
Check it out and share your first impressions on the boards!

someone at the factory was a bit hungry and gave it a gnaw or two

Thanks, I submitted a ticket and tried to get info on another ticket I submitted a month ago regarding a yellowing Shrapnel (the insecticons are darn near impossible to find).

Looks like the plastic melted when removing it from the mold to me. I'd probably put in with Hasbro's Consumer Care to try and get it replaced.

Anyone else get their Shadow Striker with a mangled gun? Mine, the barrel was completely crushed (no big loss, didn’t like that hunk of plastic anyways).

they cant move back because of the way they are designed

Is it just that they're far back and looks bad or is there something structurally wrong with the shoulders?

Laser Prime, Armada Megs, RotB Optimus, now Shadow Striker. What does Hasbro have against functional shoulders?

This is one of those figures I'm super torn on. There's so much I like about her, but the shoulders are just so bad! I'm hoping someone manages a fix for them somehow that makes it so that they aren't set so far back. In the meantime, I'm trying to put her in poses that hide her shoulders which isn't too hard but is definitely a shame. Other than that, I really like everything else about her!View attachment 30050768

Id recommend the sniper set anyway as Javelin is amazing
Strafe28066
Okay cheers, I'm getting Shadowstriker either way but if the sniper from Javelin looks good on her then I may have to get that dead eye set

Only if they’re doing the X-Brawn and Prowl repaints. I’d be down.

Might aswell just ditch the emergency vehicle colored Sideburn idea altogether and just remake Universe 2003 Ratchet if they were to do the first idea.
Which honestly would still very much a win in my book. His colorscheme absolutely rocks and I'd love to see a new version of him.

A remold of this into Roulette would be really cool but knowing Hasbro it'll probably be an exclusive with dogwater quality control
Edwardmus Prime
With how much this doesn't fit the Cyberverse version of Shadowstriker, they better at least do Roulette. Don't really care for Sideburn as a character, but if they're going to heavily reference Shadowstriker was once a rehead of him then they should also do the other rehead. Also, Studio Series has done some dang good silver decos and that has promise with Roulette. Would also like the Shadowstriker from the Universe line.
Come to think, wish they'd do Legacy Movieverse because this would be a very good Crosshairs.

I think that'd work much better as a pre-planned pre-tool of a new Legacy Uni/beyond X-Brawn.
Or at least wait until they have the budget to reshell the vehicle alt into something less like a wheeled potato.

I think it'd be cool if they did an emergency vehicle styled version of this mold to match Universe 2003 Ratchet and Inferno
