As promised, the Hasbro Transformers team is showing the Legacy United Wave 4 figures this week. Mark Maher has just posted the previews for United Slipstream with some notes on the figure that you read below. Look for these to go on sale Thursday June 13, at 1pm ET / 10am PT. Order while they last at the following sponsored links:
I mean after all, Legacy has welcomed alot of females to the fray, why not a female Decepticon seeker jet! These pics show just how amazing the colors came out, the metallic teal would make anyone. Toss in some Decepticon (light & dark) purple,black, and the same purple metallic that was used on Chromia to get a wicked fresh color scheme thats one of the major highlights to this cool character.
New head, new blasters, and an all new attitude! I used og Starscream’s head sculpt as a go by to create the sculpt for the head, but I did add the ears to make it a lil more unique. I will post some more pictures but my sample does not have the final colors, and these final colors featured in these photos are!
Other noteworthy deets about this mold, the teal tinted cockpit allows you to see the actual pilot and co pilot seats inside that were sculpted skillfully. The new blasters can be welded in multiple locations and do have a blast compatible tip on them. The fan wing thrusters still have the articulated festure to them just like her enemy Windblade. Just super excited to finally get my hands on this character!
I will post more later today but please enjoy this! Reminder that Pre Orders for this gal are this Thursday at 1 pm et!
The last year or so of releases, capped off by this Soundwave, has convinced me that Hasbro is in worse financial shape than we believe. I mean, not to even have new tapes for Soundwave is pathetic. I have to agree with many that this Siege SW mold could of and should have been given a redo ss86 style. Unfortunately, this is just diminishing the ss86 good will that fans had come to expect from a slightly more premium line. Hasbro is dei-ying. ?

The article clearly says Leader Class. They packed in 3 core class figure so they could charge you $55 for a Voyager while making you pay for a set of core class figures you probably already have. I've had enough of this crap from Hasbro. They clearly don't respect their dedicated customers and fans.
He's a Voyager.

We're well beyond the days of Siege with overly detailed surfaces and now are in the phase of esthetics being defined as "less is more" shown by the Legacy Stunticons and the studio 86 series. At a leader class price point, I'm not certain I would want to spend that money on figure that no longer would have a prime location in my collection.

Will she ever get a Masterpiece version?
Sureshot, anyone?
