Yeah, I agree that universe Silverbolt is underrated - especially the Japanese version with the more G1-accurate colours. Never picked up Darkwing... he looked okay, but too expensive for my liking. Never saw Skyjack -- not sure if the Silverbolt head would work for him (and you all know my stance on unlicensed 3rd party stuff).
Hursti: actually, I just picked Gigatron as an example of a six-changer with greater articulation in robot mode (in response to klystron's question). As far as his alt modes go, I don't think they're that great. The dragon mode is the nicest and the hand mode is epic fail. The jet mode is fair, but the other modes are just okay. Devil Gigatron's additional four modes are just silly IMO... Takara just added an extra peg and made up four more "fan modes" for the toy really.
And if you have RiD Megatron, then there's even less incentive to get RiD Galvatron because RiD Megatron is actually a repaint of the Devil Gigatron mould (with Hasbro safe rounded missiles - and flat non-metallic colours); i.e. it has the ability to transform into all 10 modes, whereas Gigatron could only transform in 6 modes and the mould was slightly modded for Devil Gigatron for the extra modes.
