These three just showed up. Haven't really fiddled around with them too much, but both Dreadwing and Bludgeon are molds I've already reviewed, so no need to go into a full description. Shadow Striker is wholly new, though, and I'm liking her more than I thought I would.
Some quick notes on each:
I like Dreadwing's color scheme a lot better than Skyquake's - the blue, red and gold looks SO much better than the latter's drab green and silver. Dreadwing's canopy is painted with a pearlescent silver sheen, too, which is cool. I think there may have been a running change in the mold - it seems his nosecone actually closes up properly this time, though it's a bit of a tight squeeze. Physically, he's 100% identical to Skyquake except for a slightly retooled gun that is now a cannon instead of a chaingun.
Bludgeon is better than I thought he would be, but I've never owned any previous incarnation of the character to compare him to. While he does look a little awkward standing normally, I find that he looks far better in action poses, like TM2 Megatron; he can make use of Tarn's bendy shoulders and opening hands for some cool shots. I'm happy my SS36 AOE Drift can now have an evil samurai rival to cross blades with.
