My guess is that the wings are too pointy on the ends to be able to use the hard clear plastic, or too fragile on the drop test, and so they had to use something softer and had to settle for that color sprue.

I can't see it, especially if you consider the chest design to the guy. Also, Sideways was a short, stout character and figure while this Jhiaxus mold seems more designed for taller, lanky bots. Not sure it would be a good fit.

Sideways was tall and lanky. I thin you are picturing someone else.
The chest can be retooled to match Straxxus better.
He's very much the same general idea as Straxxus: flying thing with a large gun on top.

Yeah, I saw it, after I posted. Relax.
Ignore the suggestion then sheesh.

Hot Shot is a nice sided deluxe, good and big!
Vector Prime surprised me with how good he looks. not perfect mind you, but I wasn't expecting that retool, and he looks pretty decent.

I wouldn't mind getting Shockwave and Soundwave, but i already have 2 of ER Screamer so unless it's a new Starscream it'll be a hard sell.-Kanrabat- wrote:Till-all-R1 wrote:That three pack is very similar to the previous one with Megs, so I'm not certain of the appeal of it. For me anyway.
The appeal would first be for those who missed out on the Netflix Soundwave and want some extra figures for the price they'd pay on eBay.
Or for those who missed out on all 3.
Or the hardcore who don't mind triple-dipping.
