Sweet review dude! Im looking forward to seeing the colors on this one too. I too like this how he looks in robot mode and the transformation is pretty neat. I really like how he looks alt mode. Will have to read the storyline on these new versions. Sounds really interesting. Thanks for sharing!!!
I think the one sword up and one sword down thing is due to the fact that the pieces on either side of his hip are from the same mold so if you think about it like that then you are sliding both the swords off from the right side
I was really intrigued by this line when i first saw them at Tfcon, the whole steampunk retro vibe does it for me. I wasnt sure if id be picking up one of them because of the price but after checking this review im definatly set on getting one, i think ill go with warper as Skywarp is technically the only seeker i dont have at the moment. As always, your reviews are really great and actually help with the decision making. Thank you very much!
Something about this, not to mention the quality of the figure, got me wndering how cool it would be if after MMC ploughed through some more HoS character representations, they made IDW's Nova Prime; they should have better fortunes that the last company that attepted to make one! Oh and great review, Peaugh!
He has funky steampunk plane mode. Thats defenetly different compared to group of flying Transformers that this is based on. Robot mode looks also very nice.
I'm with you there! MMC needs to slap on a green coat of paint and some "StormWinds"-style acid cannons, and then this mold would be even more awesome.
So far I like this mold but idk if I want to go all out on another line ... Especially one that is going to be soooo expenceive to complete (I'm mostly workin on MP right now so to add to that would just be torture)
If you are going to get a knight morpher commander I suggest Annihilator due to all of the issues the commander seems to have, which I'm sure you're aware of.
yea.. i watched this review a few times and u managed to convince me that its pretty darn awesome :D now dying to get this figure... :/ also, wut were the gears for? you mentioned the gears on the wing but there wasnt really a purpose for them. i thought they would spin the propellers or something but it doesnt seem to do that either :/
I think this looks amazing! Though I think the vehicle mode looks a TAD bit silly, kind of like a robot meditating. Wish there was a way of me getting my hands on it without any risks of it getting damaged in the future. Plus I gotta figure out which seeker I like best.
holy shit. i was thinking the same thing. i was gonna make a comment saying someone should do a batplane/batmech repaint. since the head has the wing bits.
to be honest looking at this toy i dont think seeing the seekers aka airborne squad holding swords would look all that bad,i think it would look even cooler,maybe it just because the way they look they i think they would look awesome with swords as well
Classics/Henkei Skywarp is very hard to come by. Only other deluxe ones are 1. Universe 2003 (a Beast Machines Jetstorm repaint) 2. Titanium Dieacast War Within (deluxe-ish, but with die-cast) 3. Cybertron (Different character, repaint of Cybertron Thundercracker, doubt it'll work) I'm just going to wait, it would be nice if they repainted FoC Starcream, but I still have my doubts. Good luck.
Here's hoping that they release some Cone Heads! P.S. Of course they'll be realeasing Seekers like Starscream, Thndercracker and Skywarp, but will they be realeasing a Sunstorm?
Wow that is a beautiful complex piece of machinery ... Well done @Peaugh and well done MMC

Man those look sooo awesome!!!!!! I really want to get at least one of them if I can. As always another great review!!!!!!!
Awesome vid, now I really can't wait for Screecher!
I think the one sword up and one sword down thing is due to the fact that the pieces on either side of his hip are from the same mold so if you think about it like that then you are sliding both the swords off from the right side
freaking awesome. Already preordered mine! cant wait!
i think i saw some landing gear too! super cool, thank you for the review :)
looks good those are going to be put in my haul list!!!!

This dude looks boss, can't wait for the Skywarp version
Sweet, I've been waiting for this!
I'll go ahead and say this, but you always get the coolest stuff!
Almost looks more solid than I thought, but holy crap. That playability. Must pick up one of these guys.
yea ive changed my mind about it. it looks pretty cool
At TFcon ... I just about plotzed when I saw the Warper version ... absolutely awesome.
This could almost pass as a Ghost of Starscream version of this mold :)
The caution leaflet feels like it's printed specifically for Vange1us
this would be great to customize into another seeker
Something about this, not to mention the quality of the figure, got me wndering how cool it would be if after MMC ploughed through some more HoS character representations, they made IDW's Nova Prime; they should have better fortunes that the last company that attepted to make one!
Oh and great review, Peaugh!
Quite the impressive figure. I kind of can't wait for Vangelus to get a hold of it and do his review.
"The propellers spin...whee~"
def need a black repaint so it'll look like a batplane/batmech.
They should make an orange one too with flame throwers
REMEMBER TO REFOCUS AFTER A CLOSEUP
wonder if we'll get a Sunstorm down the road, or even a Thrust, Dirge, and Ram Jet set
my friend you did it again, ironclad :)
i think it looks cool like this.
thats is a bad ass Knight morpher
Nananananananana STARSCREAM!
thts practically starscream
He has funky steampunk plane mode. Thats defenetly different compared to group of flying Transformers that this is based on. Robot mode looks also very nice.
Looks like the bastard child of Starscream, a bi-plane, and the batwing.
Try giving it a Black Repaint style colour scheme and he could be a Sky-Shadow version. Probably
Looks like the Spruce Goose
I was thinking more like an Final Fantasy air ship
I think of this what cybertron seekers in bayformers might look lile
An interesting alt mode.
With the head fins folded back it does look gorgeous but I can't go for it at that pricepoint.
I'm with you there! MMC needs to slap on a green coat of paint and some "StormWinds"-style acid cannons, and then this mold would be even more awesome.
" and this little warning in the back *points to 'Made in China'with thumb* "
I love it just for the DaVinci nod! :D
I imagined it being bigger
every transformer is a robot doing yoga. how else could they fit those huge bodies into small vehicles?
Im only getting the thundercracker version
btw.....gatling guns. not chain guns. chain guns are single barrel.
So wonder what their next Knight Morpher will be (Hoping for Megatron)
So far I like this mold but idk if I want to go all out on another line ... Especially one that is going to be soooo expenceive to complete (I'm mostly workin on MP right now so to add to that would just be torture)
well done Peaugh :)
will you be getting the TFC Toys Uranus set to go with the Hercules set ??
It look like a steampunk Batplane
They should make sunstormer( they will call him flamethrower) and acidstorm( call him acid rain )
I thought it was based on the Wright brothers airplane.
I wanna see ironhide as a stagecoach!
If you are going to get a knight morpher commander I suggest Annihilator due to all of the issues the commander seems to have, which I'm sure you're aware of.
It is definitely very cool - they once again have made a nice HOS figure - too bad Hasbro didn't pick up on this! They should buy the molds!
yea.. i watched this review a few times and u managed to convince me that its pretty darn awesome :D now dying to get this figure... :/ also, wut were the gears for? you mentioned the gears on the wing but there wasnt really a purpose for them. i thought they would spin the propellers or something but it doesnt seem to do that either :/
Those are Gatling guns. Chain guns only have one barrel.
i think those "electroguns" are supposed to be what are called light gas guns at least thats what they look like
When it is in airplane mode look under theairplane and there should be wheels on the leg.
I thought this was a swoop mould
TFsource has KM-01 commanders right now. Just fyi
So he's the Ghost of Screecher?
o ok. either way it just adds to the steampunk aesthetic :D
This whole line is amazing! Too expensive for me...
I think this looks amazing! Though I think the vehicle mode looks a TAD bit silly, kind of like a robot meditating. Wish there was a way of me getting my hands on it without any risks of it getting damaged in the future. Plus I gotta figure out which seeker I like best.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIII.
Are you looking forward to the new molds coloring coming out?
I know. Wrong words...
Yes
Think these guys will look good next to GDO Powerdive and RTS Lugnut (in robot mode)?
Yeah, I commented this a while back. He's announced...AS A TAKARA EXCLUSIVE. Seriously, they got a lot for Arms Microns.
holy shit. i was thinking the same thing. i was gonna make a comment saying someone should do a batplane/batmech repaint. since the head has the wing bits.
i have the compete comic set but sadly i dont have the money to get any of these and i love the comics so much T^T
now that i know your a fan i wish you would review doctor who goodies ;p
I would buy a limited edition akakening version of explorer if fansprojects did these!
Only got enough for 1 and i'm just not sure which to get! AGH i love steamer and skywarp evenly and they both just look amazing. Nerdproblems
to be honest looking at this toy i dont think seeing the seekers aka airborne squad holding swords would look all that bad,i think it would look even cooler,maybe it just because the way they look they i think they would look awesome with swords as well
wich one to get stormer screecher warper
BATMAN CUSTOM PAINT
are the people that made this figure also making a ultra magnus repaint?
Classics/Henkei Skywarp is very hard to come by. Only other deluxe ones are
1. Universe 2003 (a Beast Machines Jetstorm repaint)
2. Titanium Dieacast War Within (deluxe-ish, but with die-cast)
3. Cybertron (Different character, repaint of Cybertron Thundercracker, doubt it'll work)
I'm just going to wait, it would be nice if they repainted FoC Starcream, but I still have my doubts.
Good luck.
Oh, yes! Me wants! Me wants! ME WANTS!!
omg i have the first comic of that serise
proto-type? i thought it was a protoform
its based on a comic book mini series... Heart of Steel.
I need a skywarp and it needs to be deluxe size and g1 look. What 1 should I get
so you have number 0 sense they did not put a number on it
peaugh, should i get mastermind creations screecher or the perfect effect afx assault squad
I'm getting a Batman-esque vibe from this one. xD
Ugh....so....awesome.... But I just can't afford to commit to this line, It'll bankrupt me!
watch this a few times and i realize how epic this is... now i wonder why its not sold out yet o_o guess it's too epic... :/
How does he stand up scale-wise to the MP seekers?
is there any news of his second form like in harts of steel #2 ? i have the comics and i like his second form more then this one.
very bat like
Do you know if they had made a bumblebee H.o.S yet?
Here's hoping that they release some Cone Heads!
P.S. Of course they'll be realeasing Seekers like Starscream, Thndercracker and Skywarp, but will they be realeasing a Sunstorm?
TransFormers: Vulture Squadron!
the robot mode looks amazing...but i'm not that big a fan of the vehicle mode
Hey Peaugh, do you know if their doing Sunstorm and Acid Storm?
I have an possible alternate name for him. How about Star-Steamer.
Peaugh will u go for Mastermind Starscream?
you lucky duck you!!!
