Altmode and transformation schemes are different, plus, I think articulation is a bit greater. The wings especially. They look like they hinge like a classics Starscream.

Also Thrust had a head. Resembling a squid it may have been but i thought it was a cool design. Dont quite understand why they can come up with a new body scult for all the drones but not an origonal head for each

think the long neck would still make it look awkward. Size wise it should work tho

Cause it's not a great design...

Kill it with fire.

exactly what I was thinking. The whole eye thing is a problem in these designs.
I like Dropkick, looks like a very good figure

At least he has a face, and not a lens.
Had they given him a head and hands instead of boosters. He would not be that bad. his alt mode is pretty good. But come on this isn't even close to being a functional robot.
Is the "opposable thumb" such a archaic concept, alien robots from another planet don't need or want it?
Why pick something up, when you can melt it.

My thoughts exactly, tho arcee and bumblebee look pretty awesome.

Jet mode is fantastic. Robot mode is ultra sucky. They switched his arms and legs! It's like some cruel joke.
Really though, not all transformers can be really awesome. Some times we need the fat chick of the group to make the others look good.
Edit: Looking at the pics again, this guy has screamers alt mode. Makes me wonder if this is another scrapped design that they ended up making anyway to pad the toy line?

Maybe they're part of Shockwave's secret army?

They're drones. Nothing more than expendable drones. Which is why you waste so many of them in the Game.

I know they are. I was just making a wise crack about the most famous one-eyed bot in the TF universe.

I'm guessing we'll be seeing at least one purple repaint in the near future...

I have to agree man it looks sucky. Plus the out of scale of the movie figures is annoying the hell out of me.

Right.
Pass. BIG time.
I foresee shelfwarmer territory here.

Agreed. Plus, with Shockwave in the game, I'm sure we'll see him in plastic form, even if it is just a repaint.

LOOKS LIKE
sure
but its like they took an idea that wanted to be great and fixed it.
Like Smokejumper & E-Starscream
one's the okay, but obviously flawed version; while the other is the vastly improved.

Well I think the key word here is drone. Their like storm troopers ya know, and when you look at a Storm trooper they pretty much all look the same when their in full armor, So thats why both Swindle and DreadWing have the 'Decepticon' Camera lense head.
Hey I wonder, They gonna make any Autobot Drone figures?
