@markclonus has more than meets the new reveals with a behind the scenes on the just revealed Transformers Legacy United Cyberverse Slipstream. Dig into his concept design notes on this new Cyberverse character from the Windblade mold, followed but the customary image gallery.
So please, do yourself a favor and scan through all the photos. I saw most of you were looking for a voyager scale to be equal with Starscream and I have noted that to the team. But, BUT, this cyberverse styled Slipstream hits hard in hand. If nothing else the colors, the colors, ohhhh the glorious tones of color, what a symphony to the here! I actually dig the petite scale difference with ol SS.
If there is somthing I learned here on @instagram is its the fandom for Transformers is not only a lovable passionate group, but everyone is extremely opinionated! Its near impossible to satisfy everyones wants and needs, you can only go with your gut instinct in the end and 🤞🏻hope everyone sees what you were at least trying to accomplish!
Big shouts out to Koki san over in Takara Tomy who worked on this glorious tool! The articulation and transformation is solid, and please take a good look at her backside cause its looking just as good as the front! That super sonic cybertronian influenced jet design tho, it just screams hypersonic speeds beating all sorts of astrocycle tests!
You can see the main differences in final product will be the teal color is metallic in the final product but its NOT metallic here. Also, the canopy is tinted teal in final product but NOT here, it is clear, so for final product, AGAIN, metallic teal and teal tinted cockpit!
Quake next!
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.

Sureshot, anyone?
