Judging by a couple of the poses, it appears not. It's hard to tell, but you can also tell by the slot on the hip part. If it's closer to the front, it's assembled correctly.

His shark mode is a clip together nightmare but when it's done it's a very nice looking figure. I think he will likely stay as a shark for the most part. Probably for the best as he has no vertical neck articulation and a really weird looking left hand.
Roadbuster is okay. Not great, but okay. The weapons are pretty lame and don't really clip together in a way that is pleasing to the eye. The head is a little too squished looking, but on the other hand he has a great range of motion and a pretty simple yet pleasing transformation.

I like Sky-Byte a LOT more than I thought I would. He shell-forms quite a bit, but the transformation works well and is intuitive. I wish his head could look up just a tad bit higher. He must suffer from the same self-esteem/pathological shame issues as Classics Ironhide and Rathcet. It also helps Sky-Byte's case that I opened him up while watching Sharknado 2 with my partner. He did not appreciate Sky-Byte's commentary during the film, though.

No such thing. And it doesn't look like he has metallic flake which is the main culprit of such brittle plastic.

I'm on the fence about getting him as he's not a character I care for... but i still want the mould grr.

If you want that mold, you are better off with this one than Skids. Skids has issues locking his panels in. We all know how much Ryan wants to show the best version of the toys in the galleries and even he couldnt get the darn doors to fit in properly
It looks like crosscut has fixed that particular issue. I dont want to own two similar molds that I dont absolutely adore (unlike some seeker molds) so in retrospect I would much rather have had this version of the mold than Skids (though his prices on e-bay do comfort my purchase).

I'm a bit confused re the wave containing skids and waspinator.. seems like a couple of sites are saying they'll be out september 2014? was there a 2nd run or is that a mistake you think?

Also take into account Skids has his upper legs misassmbled, and that the fix could potentially ruin it as the ball joints in the hips can snap off. Crosscut and Rollbar seem to have that fixed.

The fix can easily snap off the limb. It happened to me. I tried dissassembling him by twisting the hip and when it gave way, the ball joint was still attached to the leg, but apart from the body
Crazy glue helped though and I usually forget it ever happened, until SOME people bring it up...

Meanwhile, at my local Canadian TrU, the Bomshel/Reflector set, along with his wavemate, are priced at 15$tx. That's 50% more expensive than the American price. TrU, what the hell?

They make stuff too difficult here.

Uh these hit down here in New Orleans about 3 weeks ago on August 14th.

Frustrating isn't it?

The News Staff are running a bit on overwork right now, and I hope you can all understand that we do this on a voluntary basis, in our spare time, and in different time zones.
There can be issues with emails, and a new address has been created specifically for sightings: sightings@seibertron.com. If you see something, send it along, and we'll get to it as soon as we can. If you don't email us, it'll be harder to track it down in forums and the Sightings page (which should still be used for everyone's hunting, though!).
As much as it can be frustrating to see an item not recognised and credit not given, it's equally frustrating to have to read the same comments each time. We know things can slip, and we apologise for that - but please help us out!
Thank you Cyber Bishop for the link to the Louisiana thread; YoungPrime, can you please re-send the email notification? This is not the first time it's happened, and we'd rather make sure all is working correctly on both ends.

Also let's speculate away here, why has Windblade from the same wave not shipped?

Because HTS send the order in more than one shot if they go beyond 3 figures or something. I dealt with them ONCE. Not only they charge taxes, they charge my ass 30$ base Fedex shipping for a order of ONE minimicro figure. Then, the shipping cost increase and increase as I add figures to the cart. Then, they MUST use FedEx for me. Meaning I had to change the shipping address to my workplace or I'll had to go to the NEXT TOWN AIRPORT to get my package! They also sent my order of six figures in 3 different packages over a week!
TlDr:
HTS is awesome ONLY if you are American.
For anyone else, go to BBTS or any other online shops instead.

That's not True I've ordered from them many times before.
Hopefully BBTS will get these soon so you have have yours =]

Well, that was true for me. Read my original post again. As an American, not only you have cheap or FREE shipping from HTS, you can have your stuff in one go. I'm CANADIAN so I'm screwed. 30$ base shipping costs, taxes anyway, FedEx mandatory, and an order shipped in more than one shot obligatory at my workplace.
So, never again.
