    yeah that is butt-ugly. i like to think she's unrelated to the silhouette/shadowstalker character because this has become a frankenstein union of the two. but it is nice to see a unique car transformation.

    The figure is very compromised and isn't much fun as a Transformer.

    The hood/chest transformation engineering is novel enough to be interesting, but doesn't quite sit right. The car side panels have some issues tabbing together on my copy, and the overall product seems to sit as a bit of a block.

    It sadly doesn't do a great job of representing the Cyberverse Shadowstriker in any manner (car mode, colour palette, robot silhouette) except the head sculpt, or any real flair of character to make it stand out.

    I said only get if cheap, but I should probably add only get if interested in bolstering your Decepticon numbers (every army needs some cannon-fodder) and you can get it cheap. I got it in a 30% JB sale and still felt it wasn't quite worth it.

    Not going to lie. I really like this.
    She is heaps of fun to muck about with, poses great and is super well balanced. Transformation is a bit different from normal for a car-bot. Mine pegs together with no issues - inc the rear fender piece.

    Should note that I have zero attachment/knowledge of the character.
