His Energon consists of a long gun which pegs into a 5mm hole under the nose and a pair of what can only be described as missiles which cover his wing tips.
Tf is fab for a small toy - fold the wings forward towards the nose, separate the capture claw and fold the bits they're attached to down to form the lower legs. Rotate the tail section up onto the front of the jet - this causes the nose to turn. Fold the head down to reveal one of the nicest heads I've ever seen moulded on a basic, very reminiscent of the original Jetfire.
Nice articulation, with ball jointed hips, turning shoulders that also swing to the sides and bending elbows, the only downside being no real knees - just joints that bend to the sides as part of the TF.
He can hold the long barrelled gun here, and the pointy missiles each have a 5mm peg that allows them to be held as swords - I think putting half a peg on each one and allowing he combined form to be held as a sword would have worked a little better. Both of the missiles plug into the gun back to back to combine to make a spear headed staff.
Great little basic using G1 colours, and surprisingly unrepainted in Energon !
Sky Blast was released in Japan as SC-07 Air Glide.
Sky Blast's Energon weapon was made available in several different colours as a promotional item and is also packed in with Superlink toy SC-25 Skyfire Sonic where it has a pinky orange tint to it.
I've chilled on this mode a little since the earlier review - because he's the start of my obsession with knees that only fold sideways !
Skyblast is the first repaint of the Energon Skyblast toy. This version is mainly grey (for white) with a two tone urban camoflage paint scheme applied to it and black limbs (for the red and grey) almost like a Zombie version. Once again the underside of the wings are not painted the same as the top. The Energon looks gorgeous though - clear and dark, though not as dark as Movie Strongarm's.
Well worth having.
Deco here is excellent - grey feet and arms (for grey & red), but most of the body is cast in green (for white) with a camouflage pattern over the top - little black and olive coloured squares - though not under the wings so once again you get very plain wings when they're flipped round. Energon weapons are solid black here.
Overall a VERY effective Urban Camoflage repaint.
Nice repaint. Wish I had 1 more of Skyblast and Air Raid so I could swap the plastics round to give a green jet with black limbs and an all grey jet !
