He looks like Tomahawks big brother, or an upgrade, or if they gave Tomohawk the matrix he would turn into Skyhammer.
That is one of the nicest looking toys period along with DOTM Shockwave.
That's pure win.

But guys, something's not right here. That color scheme does not match the pictures we've seen so far! Remember the white & blue head? Are we looking at the Takara Tomy version here?

could be, but also keep in mind that all the pics weve seen so far are prototypes stolen from the factory, so its possible this is a running change or variant as well. at this point anythings possible. but white head or not, this ones one of the few dotm must haves for me

This now makes 2 DotM figures that have managed to make it to my 'Must Have' list.

THANK YOU! I know that head was reminding me of someone but couldn't place it until you mentioned it. You're quite right...
I also noticed the different colors on the head and wonder if it was an error or if this is a TakTom version...I prefer this one BIG time. Must buy for me...

Do we know if this guy's even in the next movie?
Posted by OptiMagnus on March 18th, 2011 @ 5:00pm CDT
Honestly, he gets ulgier every time I see him. I can't bring myself to buy this thing. Yet, I think almost every other figure I've seen in the main MechTech line (which is excluding Human Alliance) is a must-buy for me. This is the only MechTech series figure that I definitely do NOT want.

I too thought what we all saw before was the final cut on this TF. But now he will be one of the very few movie TF I own...'nuff said!

very cool transformation.
and I like the mold style, somewhere between movie and classics. (having hands and a face among other things)

I think you're right on. Even both of their names suggest similar hand-held devices.

As an aside, something I've been meaning to ask around on for a bit, where's a good place to buy little stands like that online?
Posted by Burn on March 18th, 2011 @ 9:08pm CDT
It's hard to find anything to complain about with this guy, but I don't like his feet.
Other than that, i'd put this up there with one of the best figures from all three movie lines.

And I think this goes to proove Skyhammer was meant for those who prefer Classics figures, because I want this figure, but I do not want any of the others we've seen.

I must be the only one who doesn't like this guy at all but loves the rest of the line.

I'm not sure if it's really this, since I equally love the classics (although I only started collecting recently). I just don't like Skyhammer, and I don't like the look of Tomahawk either. I don't know why, but I just do.

Though he looks plenty well armed even without it with those arm barrels and smaller pods, and I love the very unique style of his rotor placement in robot mode.
Definately one of the few DOTM figures I'm fully sold on getting.

Reasons why:
Skyhammer: unique design, the idea of having his rotor blades fold back like that is pure win and the engineers have their head on straight, not up their A$$ when designing something like this and perfect balance between robot and alt mode.
Shockwave: G1 looking in bot mode and some G1 aesthetics there, but alt mode is OK-ish, but how many people is going to keep or display DOTM Shockwave in his horrible alien tank mode? huh really? not me.
Megatron: This Megatron is different and its nice seeing him in a different alt mode, beside the cybertronian space craft and or tank mode was getting weak with me and Megatron using the old rusty fuel truck from the military is an awesome idea i think and he just looks cool. Again its my opinion about this and these will be the only 3 ill buy from this line.

Reminds me of Beast Wars Silverbolt.

Looks like a cross between Sideswipe and Blackout... which is just pure awesomeness.
