As I mentioned on the BH Breakdown thread, the colours of this toy is a homage to Binaltech/Alternators Smokescreen, including the Solberg/Mills "7" painted on the doors. I think that's seriously cool and it makes me want this Legions Class figure... but I'm not convinced about Sky Claw. :/ Maybe if it's on sale.

I actually caved and got this from BigW today. Mainly cos I love the blue Smokescreen and Skyclaw looks good to. I had to laugh though as Smokescreen is terribly mistransformed in his little cubicle.

Yeah, I started to think that it was a new mould Smokescreen when I first pulled it out, until I worked out how badly transformed it was.

This one is the better of the two Vehicle sets, even if you don't already have the Bumblebee version of the other one.

Is this a must buy for Parramatta Eels or West Coast Eagles supporters?

I'd love the Smokescreen, but none of the Prime vehicle sets has been impressive enough to make me want to buy them. If it turns. In the show this season it may make me think about it on sale.

Aaahhhh, so Brakedowns version is a repaint of the Bumblebee expo suit thingy from last year? Didn't know that.
