So, when we finally got pics of Crimsonflame, I went and tracked down a Skullitron for a decent price; honestly, he's one I've had my eye on for ages (it was between him and Steelbane at the time, and the latter was easier for me to find back then), so this was a long time coming. I honestly like his colors better than Steelbane's - the copper paint (meant to be rust) looks awesome on him, and I never realized until actually holding him in-hand that he has Cybertronian writing on his right wing.
His robot mode head is pretty creepy - half of his face has rusted away, and the mouthplate that covers the faces of the other knights is completely gone, revealing a skull-like grin (hence his name); his one remaining eye is red, which is weird, because it was blue in the film. He also only comes with only one sword when he dual-wielded a pair in the movie, so I'll have to find him a second blade later. Another weird thing is that his box has him labeled as a Decepticon (and I'm pretty sure Steelbane was labeled as an Autobot, despite them being on the same team), which also isn't true to the film - while Skullitron did indeed attack Mark Wahlberg's character in the film, it was because A) Cade had just woken him up for the first time in centuries by climbing on his face and poking around inside his noggin and B) he assumed he was a thief (and cade didn't bother trying to explain the situation). Whatever the case, he's not intended to be one of the bad guys, and he's a Knight of Iacon just like Steelbane, Dragonicus, and Stormreign (who's toys all released at the same time), so it's a little odd. Poor guy was literally just doing his job and got branded a Decepticon by the marketing department.
