DotM Voyager SKYHAMMER Review

[SkyWarp91]

when this figure was announced I was excited and wanted to get a hold of it all asap as it was a new mold.

But after finally opening it after some busy weeks I'm not all that impressed. It's an okay toy, the robot mode has decent paint apps but the paint-job on the head seems a bit cheap and doesn't suit the rest of the body. The vehicle mode is okay too but I think HFTD Tomahawk is a better chopper of a figure. Articulation is good and transformation is stylish yet followable (except the part where the chest rotor panel rotates, I was so close to snapping it off had I not known you are meant to pull outward the rotor blades first).

Overall this figure is just an average. It's nothing jaw-dropping but it's far from the worst, it's just a forgettable figure in the end.

Recommended to buy on sale.

skyhammer is actually my favourite of the movie line so far! i think maybe because they weren't stuck having to copy something on-screen they had more freedom to not cheat with panels and bits hanging off all over the place? his transformation is amazing, every piece goes somewhere in both modes and has a purpose and plugs in, instead of the usual movie type 'pull apart the vehicle mode and arrange the resulting mess into a thing that looks like a robot' XD

i bought shockwave too, and was very disappointed. im not usually worried about what vehicle modes things have as long as they turn into something that looks like a thing, so i usually don't like cybertronian modes because they're often weird and feel lazy. i was hoping the robot mode would make up for it, but it is so stiff and disagreeable to posing, the backpack doesn't like to stay clipped, and the silly weapon hose really limits the arm. the plastic even feels 'wrong' somehow! it's like, he goes to a lot of effort to transform into two things where neither one of them is really any kind of special

I love this dude. He's great to pose and looks fantastic. The only things I hate about him are his eyes/face. I wish his eyes had light piping and I also wish his face was the same dark blue.

I also think his gun is a bit stupid and kinda wish I had something else to put on him.

Overall, worth purchasing.
