However, the back-based rotor (which is strangely photoshopped out of the image above, except partially behind the left leg) is Vortex-styling…
There's a good chance I'm going full Takara on any DotM toys, after some disappointing United choices.

If you mis-transform the legs by keeping the feet up and putting the landing gear out as feet, it looks a lot better, IMHO.

Actually you can still just barely see it behind his left leg and his gun, not that it matters. =P

Not as of yet.

Even better! Takara remembered to actually paint Sideswipe (DA-08)…

Hence the "except partially behind the left leg"…

When I first saw these pics earlier today. I actually thought it was a repaint & new head sculpt using the DOTM voyager sized Skyhammer toy mold.
Only after reading this reply,did I notice Vortex was using the Tomahawk toy mold with a new head sculpt.
My guess is since Takara put a new head sculpt on this mold. Hasbro will eventually used the tomahawk mold with the new head sculpt.
Hopefully hasbro gives us this DOTM deluxe Vortex toy as I love G-1 character homage movie verse toys.

Edit :
Went back to Walmart and picked up a Skyhammer because theyre were only 2 of them and like 20 voyager Primes and Megatrons each and 10 Ironhides. And there were no Skyhammers at all in the other local walmart. I have a feeling Skyhammer and Shockwave will be very rare unless Walmart wasnt supposed to put that wave on the shelves yet and somebody goofed.
I know this has nothing to do with Vortex but I think DOTM collecters should know this just in case my hunch is right...

I think that's the entirety of the fanbase that actually remembers this character.

Nah, he's just too obscure for me to really care to add him to the Classics. I do think this looks really nice. I'm good at resisting temptation though, mostly.
