Planet X - PX-02 CAELUS

[CBratron]

AKA FoC Swoop. Robot Kingdom has posted up preorders for Caelus.

Looks nice. Certainly matches Generations Grimlock.
And at US$60 I am considering this.

It looks ok, the general lack of love for Swoop from Hasbro makes me like it more, but not a huge fan of the design or sculpt so far.

Also not a huge fan but acceptable at the right price.

Cool that they're doing it, good price, but not interested.

Looks way too small next to Grimlock... Not a huge fan of the width of the gap between the legs either. On the plus side it does look like it would scale quite nicely with the modern definition of Deluxe sized figures.

It works really well as an FOC toy given the aesthetics but I am afraid the sculpts style only limits it to that. I don't think it makes a particularly good 'Classics' Swoop but as mentioned, we are not getting much in the way of alternatives.

not really a fan of the alt mode...look more like a pelican :p

It reminds me of a Cybertron figure, particularly in alt-mode.

Just got this guy, and I am impressed. This is my first 3rd party figure, I am definitely on board with this foc inspired series.
He works really well with Grimlock and scale seems about right.
I may be biased in my opinion, I loooove Fall Of Cybertron.
I can't wait for the others!!!!!
