IDW Transformers: RID Ongoing Sky-Byte
Artist Ardrew Griffith has revealed the character’s redesign for the series
Thought I’d give you guys another exclusive.
I was told this was OK to post online since his image is floating around the web now anyway. This is Sky-Byte’s official design for IDW as he’s appearing in RID, staring in issue 5.
He’s largely based on his original toy, though the transformation is a little different than originally.For example, his shark head now becomes his chest instead of a “faux”-shark face on his chest. And I added painted teeth on his shark face like you’d see on vintage fighter planes.
Basically, his alt-mode is some sort of space shark. Who is to say something that looks like a flying shark couldn’t have evolved on some planet somewhere? Makes no less sense that dinosaurs in space, eh?
So awesome! Now if we could only get Cybershark, Sharpedge, and Hammerhead into the series as a sort if shark week for Transformers.
Quinjet Aerial Battle - Lego Marvel Super Heroes Set 6869
735 pieces
5 minifigures (Iron Man, Loki, Thor, Black Widow, Alien Foot Soldier)
Build time: 1 hour, 15 minutes (Your mileage may vary)
Features: Iron Man, Thor, an the Alien have two faces. With the heroes, one is a neutral expression and the other aggressive. The Alien just has two different faces to chose from. Additionally, Iron Man’s helmet face flips up to reveal Tony Stark’s face. This is also the only set Black Widow comes with.
Loki’s chariot pivots in two places between driver and passenger as well as the driver wings and engines. The driver control panel pivots as well.
The Quinjet has many features, not all work well in my experience. The cockpit pivots and opens to seat one minifigure. Directly behind the cockpit is a passenger area able to seat two minifigures. Each wing front pivots downward and the wingtips pivot down and rotate. Just past the passenger area is a red button. When pressed, a section underneath is supposed to drop down to launch the S.H.I.E.L.D. drone. It sticks every time, so I’m not sure if it’s me, my construction job, or just a bad feature. Past that is an opening hatch to put your alien prisoners in. But, they can escape via the hatch at the back of the Quinjet. Lastly, each engine pivots up and down, depending on the needs of the pilot during flight.
The Quinjet Aerial Battle is a great set worth the regular (i.e.: not the Toys R Us inflated) price. The only thing I could think of to improve it would be to include Captain America and Hawkeye and at least one other alien.

The Japanese intro to Transformers Prime.
Yes, a song in 2012 uses the phrase “party people.”
Party People! Yeah!
Warnet vs. Silverbaxx (Redakai, Spin Master, 2011)
I picked these guys up on clearance because they remind me of Waspinator and Optimus Primal from Beast Wars and that’s how I choose to think of them. Beast Wars forever!
Mesa called Jar Jar Binks!
Yousa thinkin yousa people gunna die?
He did it! What an amazing lack of humor this guy has. Clearly his nerd rage knows no bounds when someone threatens what he likes with a splash of humor. Bravo. Bravo.
Rebel Pilot - Mon Calamari (Star Wars Vintage, Hasbro, 2012)
Its a twap! Your taste buds can’t repel flavor of my magnitude!
NO
that’s not ackbar
if i reblogged a picture of Luke with the caption “Mesa called Jar Jar Binks” it would be just as horribly inaccurate
stop doing this
Its a joke. I labelled it as Hasbro intended and put a humorous spin to my post. Don’t like it? Sorry you feel that way.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Cold Weather Gear (Star Wars Power of the Jedi, Hasbro, 2001)
Six point of articulation, good sculpt, good accessories. This is a great figure. The only thing he can’t do is sit. I miss the non-super-articulated days.
