Decepticon Off-Screen Air Force

Photobucket
Hasbro always try to dig out every buck in your wallet. More are more characters are listed in the ROTF line even they don't have a chance to show up on the movie. Well, I can't resist to get them in my collection if there is a good enough reason, say a new mold, or a repaint to a G1 character. (-_-")
Even I am blaming Hasbro to roll out so many TFs at a time, I really appreciate these fighters. The deluxe size cone heads are nice, but the scout size stealth jet and biplane are even better. Skystalker is the best among them. It has so many articulation as a scout size figure. The transformation system is great. It can even combine with the voyager size Mindwipe! How can you expect for more? I can say Divebomb is Red Baron, isn't it? Thrust is a repaint, but that's the reason for me to get this mold. Hasbro is kind enough to give Dirge as a new mold. I know I need to get also Mindwipe, but I could get it with reasonable price...
Lets enjoy the Decepticon Air Force parade! (click to enlarge the photos)

Battle mode!?

Divebomb is better than I expected. The transformation system is great. As a scout size figure, the articulation is very good. Only the neck joint and the arms are the weak points. I am glad to skip the first one and get this Red Baron repaint.

Stealth jet is always tempting.

Battle mode again!?

I have to say it again, Skystalker is the best! You have to regret if you don't have it. I want Mindwipe to take picture with Skystalker but I can't wait. I bet Mindwipe cannot beat Skystalker at all even it is a voyager size figure.

Thrust is no longer a cone head. The mold itself is a good mold. The transformation system is good. Howver, I hate the way it hides the head. I had been thinking of whether to buy this mold. I had no other choice when I learnt that it will be repainted as a G1 character.

Dirge is lucky to get a new mold. The jet mode is nice. The transformation system is good. The MehcAlive gimmick is nice. However, the robot mode is a bit disappointing. The cone head is a nice design, but not really fixed in place. The leg are weak and the feet are bad! Just an average figure.

Finally get a group shot.
