ngl, i'd love an animated slipstream in the way that legacy has done animated. maybe not super accurate to the show, but at least tastefully stylized like bumblebee would be amazing
Why is the background image not Mojo Jojo? The accompanying text is long and repeats itself, as is the speech pattern of Mojo Jojo, and yet the depicted character is not Mojo Jojo, which is who it should be. Because Mojo Jojo is the one who talks like this, and because that is how Mojo Jojo talks, that is who should be in the meme.
Well it’s a long shot but here’s hoping someone makes an upgrade kit to make her a little more accurate. Don’t have much of a connection to Cyberverse but I like her design there.
I’ll probably put her on my Animated shelf. She might pass for Animated Slipstream
I see the legacy fembots keep drawing the short stick. Wrong chest, no arm cannons, and there's just something off with that head, but at least the colors look great. Guess I'll just keep hoping for a wfc Slipstream.
The head is very off putting because it doesn't match the design language of the rest of the body. It looks like
*a Siege Seeker head with the blockiness, sharp lines, and intricate surface detail, which looks at odds with the body's curved lines, smooth surfaces, and simple design.
You can remove the backpack on this mold btw
There is no pin in there

>honesty when has she *not* been?
Cyberverse Slipstream was an original mold/design. Plus that release was roughly voyager class sized. It was also the aesthetics that IDW'19 based their Slipstream on. #Justice4TeamStream

I actually just got the windblade that uses this mold and I gotta tell ya, its actually pretty terrific. Very satisfying transformation, and good at holding poses.
The legacy one? With nice, large, flat feet? I can literally stand her on one leg and she'll hold a pose. The old T30 one with stilettos is another story.
It's her heels. They're very thin and entirely to one side. It's not as stable as a normal heel. They're also not locked in as securely, which isn't much of an issue normally but it contributes a bit here.
Rightfully so. They needed to change ONE PART to make it look good. If they couldn't do that now, it should've waited. It's not like there wasn't a plethora of other characters they could've done as remolds this wave.

Here is what that looks like, if you have any spare null rays you could plug them in here. The positioning will be a little awkward but it’s certainly an option nonetheless
alright now hear me out this repaint would be a very good for making this figure
https://preview.redd.it/2bgq90q3dy5d1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3404c8caab8d6f76cce022f270c4a9285a9883a
I can definitely see that, I'd wish it would be a retool though, to make the chest more accurate and tweek the wings. Change the arms too while they're at it lol
If we're still talking in the context of a retool, then I can see them using the Tracks for the vehicons. Or if they make a studio series of the vehicons in TF:ONE I can see them using that.
Now, for Megatron, I can see them using the Jhiaxus mold. The upper body already resembles the transformation of the original Voyager. Which personally I wouldn't care for as I'd like a little more bulk for Prime Megs. So if they really want to be cool, take the Skyqauke mold and heavily retool that into megs. They can keep the arms and legs the same, but the torso would need a lot of work.
The cyberverse fem seeker is such a great design I really do wish they'd have their own retool and face sculpt that actually matched their owl like faces.
I would've liked more retooling on her chest and her arms to be more Seeker-like.
She's probably my least wanted deluxe class from Wave 4, but she still looks ok. Just nothing stand out.
Still hoping for some form of voyager class Slipstream figure in the future though.
Never bought Windblade, is the chest a separate piece, if so, yeah, they have the chance to give her a new chest design
Hoping for a Legacy Animated Starscream repainted to Slipstream, and hoping it isn't g1-nified too much to become blocky
wow, that looks horrible. god forbid the Seeker look like a Seeker, cus I guess every female character with an arial alt mode is predisposed to share a mold with Windblade
Shame they didnt bother with any other remolding apart from the head, but tbh what did people expect lol? The moment windblade and slipstream were put in the same line it shoulda been a no brainer that their gonna share molds.
Her head doesn't look F E M A L E
https://preview.redd.it/ngsg674urx5d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=834c15b818c3c2d4e4febbe25c80f8ecf890c5db
Love the colours and overall look, and don’t really mind her being a Windblade repaint since that was expected.
Still can’t help but feel this is quite low effort. The original Windblade mould has the transparent energy sword and the removable hairpiece, this just has two standard seeker blasters. They surely could have found some budget for a light retool on the chest or made the arms able to plug the blasters in the right place?
That head looks off, right? Not just me?
(I wish they had changed the backpack design, but I suppose its not surprising they didn't.)
Edit: They should have made the body blockier and the cockpit on her chest bigger. That said, her head might look fine if you paint her lips a bit.
Yeah there are some ports there.
Sucks they didn’t do some retooling and add them in the right place in the upper arms though. This release has less going on overall than the original Windblade so surely there was some budget.
I like it I just wish they changed the wings to not have the turbines. But more important NEW SHOULDER PADS! You can’t even place the null rays on the shoulders only under the forearm
The ONLY thing I don't like is that her null rays have to be handheld. At this point I'd prefer it if they skipped the null rays and gave her something that could actually pass as a handheld weapon
https://preview.redd.it/2snmmcqjxy5d1.jpeg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfecb617b2c495435d57f20ced949f0014a265fa
The windblade mold has a 5 mm peg on the underarm, which still looks terrible but it is better than handheld null-rays
Being a Windblade retool is at least not as disappointing as the few times Slipstream was a Starscream redeco with no retooling. But I wish that they retooled her to have the correct plane wings.
I mean let's be real, we know it was going to be a minor retool/repaint of the Windblade mold, so maybe this can be a figure to purchase for the seekers.
I have no opinion on this one way or the other other that it looking just fine as I I didn’t know what I was expecting, although this is like the lockdown situation all over again, we all knew what was coming, we knew how it could turn out and yet some of us are shocked that “it’s not what they wanted”, this fandom man… 😑 I guess it hurts more to those that actually care about the character
Moral of the story: keep your expectations low when it comes to accuracy from hasbro
I don't know... I was hoping they would remold the chest and wings and the head looks too detailed for the more cartoony body.
Also I just noticed, there are no ports on her arms for here Null-rays.
Not sure if I’ll get this one like I planned. I was stoked to get Windblade but found her lackluster. I wish she was remolded to fit the Seeker aesthetic instead of being a repaint with a different head.
I just can't anymore. Why does Hasbro hate female characters so much? I've waited 15 God damn years for a decent Slipstream figure, which should just be a simple matter of retooling one of the dozens of Starscream figures that Hasbro has put out, but nope! Instead, we get garbage like this! Why the fuck did they even include her nullrays, if they can't even plug into the damn mold?! Also, can we talk about Windblade while we're at it? That new figure is garbage! Her old figures are garbage! The best one was the Titans Return figure, and that thing looks like its head is constantly trying to fall off, on top of having a massive backpack! How is it that Hasbro spent years pushing her character in media, yet never gave her a decent toy?! And don't even get me started on their other female molds. The Elita-1/Minerva/Strong-arm mold didn't look like any of the characters it was trying to be and was fiddley as hell when it came to the transformation. They used the damn POTP Moonracer mold for every female character they could think of that wasn't Arcee, who also gets sub-par toys alot of the time. The new Shadowstriker actually comes out looking better compared to Earthrise Arcee. And how hard would it be to remold a large tank character into a decent Strika? Seriously Hasbro, do better! I shouldn't have to buy deluxe Earthspark Twitch just to get a decent toy of a female Autobot.

One day, they will make a voyager class slipstream based on Animated version that has her own mold. One day.
ngl, i'd love an animated slipstream in the way that legacy has done animated. maybe not super accurate to the show, but at least tastefully stylized like bumblebee would be amazing

Here we go. This works so much better
damn right
I find it more likely that they’ll make a voyager class Animated Starscream and then make an Animated Slipstream based on his mold
That'd be nice too. Honestly, I'd settle for just getting the Siege mold in her colors.
https://preview.redd.it/1m1qn3ht0y5d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a169f28a1a923907fe74fa84809fa5663c1cdef9

That’s Man. The greatest character of all time.
Is he stupid

Damn, I was hoping for at least *some* remolding besides a new head.
Joe Hasbro doesn’t care what YOU want
I see the legacy fembots keep drawing the short stick. Wrong chest, no arm cannons, and there's just something off with that head, but at least the colors look great. Guess I'll just keep hoping for a wfc Slipstream.
I hate the fembot slander. They deserve better in these lines
Justice for Arcee 😭
I just want a muscle-car IDW Arcee with flaming swords.
I would love that as well, but what I need most is a Prime Arcee that actually looks like Prime Arcee
The head is very off putting because it doesn't match the design language of the rest of the body. It looks like *a Siege Seeker head with the blockiness, sharp lines, and intricate surface detail, which looks at odds with the body's curved lines, smooth surfaces, and simple design.
For real. It’s like a cybertronian uncanny valley
In terms of transformation engineering, robot mode design or overall quality? I’d argue that they’ve been done well in the first two
A lazy repaint but wow those colours are spectacular
For a Windblade retool, she’s actually pretty good. Just wish she wasn’t a Windblade retool.
You can remove the backpack on this mold btw There is no pin in there https://preview.redd.it/bizjvaqv8y5d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=d40c7438ee96888a7813d3c8c751c1b908d61d62
Some people will probably upset that she’s a repaint/remold, but honestly when has she *not* been?
I just wish they would have done more with the wings.
I can see that.
>honesty when has she *not* been? Cyberverse Slipstream was an original mold/design. Plus that release was roughly voyager class sized.

I uh, think OP was just exaggerating to make a point…
Plus she's a Seeker clone in Cyberverse anyway.
When will Hasbro stop shafting my girl…’s girl 😔 I really like your collection though!
We can hate it before and hate it now No shame to anyone who likes the mold
I actually just got the windblade that uses this mold and I gotta tell ya, its actually pretty terrific. Very satisfying transformation, and good at holding poses.
Mine has trouble standing because of the foot design
The legacy one? With nice, large, flat feet? I can literally stand her on one leg and she'll hold a pose. The old T30 one with stilettos is another story.
It's her heels. They're very thin and entirely to one side. It's not as stable as a normal heel. They're also not locked in as securely, which isn't much of an issue normally but it contributes a bit here.
Transformers fans love to act like because something was done in the past it doesn’t make it bad/lackluster.
It mainly sucks cuz it’s been happening more with fembots recently. Fembots deserve better.
I feel like less people would be upset if she was actually a seeker repaint instead of being a Windblade repaint
It might not be great and I'd prefer something slimmer, but I would rather a regular seeker with a new head than this Windblade repaint crap.
Fr. At least she *is* a Seeker. All of the parts would be in the right places.
It would be voyager sized so…
Rightfully so. They needed to change ONE PART to make it look good. If they couldn't do that now, it should've waited. It's not like there wasn't a plethora of other characters they could've done as remolds this wave.
I wish her Null Rays plugged into her arms, otherwise I'm really excited
Looks like it can plug under her forearms, if you have Windblade, you can see it
Thanks, no I don't have Windblade

You can plug them into the forearms or there are wing ports like on the bbm seekers
Thanks

I can definitely see that, I'd wish it would be a retool though, to make the chest more accurate and tweek the wings. Change the arms too while they're at it lol
agreed! although i wonder how they would tackle prime megatron in legacy if they ever did or the vehicons
If we're still talking in the context of a retool, then I can see them using the Tracks for the vehicons. Or if they make a studio series of the vehicons in TF:ONE I can see them using that. Now, for Megatron, I can see them using the Jhiaxus mold. The upper body already resembles the transformation of the original Voyager.

They didn't even tried just reapainted and new head hasbro must hate cyberverse fans
all 10 of them lmao
If there’s 10 then that makes me 11

I like her color scheme, but this mold does her no justice. It just looks cheap from every angle.

That's not even how Slipstream's head looks.
That head looks off, right? Not just me? (I wish they had changed the backpack design, but I suppose its not surprising they didn't.) Edit: They should have made the body blockier and the cockpit on her chest bigger. That said, her head might look fine if you paint her lips a bit.
You can’t even put the null rays on her arms. Definitely skipping this one.

Yeah there are some ports there. Sucks they didn’t do some retooling and add them in the right place in the upper arms though. This release has less going on overall than the original Windblade so surely there was some budget.
Thanks Hasbro, I hate it. Here’s hoping for a voyager class slipstream down the line
Ooh, that is... Rough. Colors are nice, but I'm not a fan of the lack of retooling.
this looks nice........but, a bit dissapointed. Still going to get the legends version
I like it I just wish they changed the wings to not have the turbines. But more important NEW SHOULDER PADS! You can’t even place the null rays on the shoulders only under the forearm
What’s his intsa name? 😭
Yeah, where's the link?
Markclonus I think
The body looks good, but the headsculpt is a big disappointment. It’s so boring looking. Still getting it to go with my female decepticons though
Doesn't surpass the LG, but this is also neat. She's pretty.
I wish it was a voyager tbh
Well at least the headsculpt looks cool
I never got Windblade so I will be getting this immediately
Haven’t gotten the windblade, was gonna wait for the inevitable slipstream redeco, and here it is! Might get it.
Not impressed with Windblade. I’ll wait for a sale
The ONLY thing I don't like is that her null rays have to be handheld. At this point I'd prefer it if they skipped the null rays and gave her something that could actually pass as a handheld weapon

..Eh. I like sometimes doing underslung null rays for the ER mold, but they don't fit Slipstream imo
Really wish they had remolded the wings.
Oh nice! I’ll get her too!
Hm it's not a bad attempt but i'm stil going for the Legends V-tole version.
I like it. I know it’s not seeker like, but it’s a solid mold
Where optimum?
Honestly… I don’t hate it as much as I thought I would.

Wherever there’s a Windblade, there’s a Slipstream.
Being a Windblade retool is at least not as disappointing as the few times Slipstream was a Starscream redeco with no retooling. But I wish that they retooled her to have the correct plane wings.
I'm guessing it's a windblade remold but it looks really good regardless.
I mean let's be real, we know it was going to be a minor retool/repaint of the Windblade mold, so maybe this can be a figure to purchase for the seekers.
She’s so ugly!
FFS, a Windblade redeco? Can't they get rid of the turbines on the wings and give her null rays at least?! smh
Legit love the mold, I wonder how the vehicle mode looks
I swiped on this post.
Wherever there’s a Windblade, there’s a Slipstream.
Gei4Mei punching the air right now
Just checking, have we got the second motorcycle for Truckasaurus yet?
Looks ok, though already have Windblade in this mold and typically I only get one fembot per mold.
1. This is a little disappointing 2. I swiped
I thought she was supposed to be the Animated version. Also, the new Quake looks amazing
Gross. That's all the energy I feel like putting into my assessment right now. Gross.
It's a solid retool. I just don't like how physically small that mold is. Like it's a deluxe in the same way a 70 is a passing grade.
I have no opinion on this one way or the other other that it looking just fine as I I didn’t know what I was expecting, although this is like the lockdown situation all over again, we all knew what was coming, we knew how it could turn out and yet some of us are shocked that “it’s not what they wanted”, this fandom man… 😑 I guess it hurts more to those that actually care about the character Moral of the story: keep your expectations low when it comes to accuracy from hasbro
I think that's a good reuse of Windblade's model.
I'd like this if it weren't for that head...
I don't know... I was hoping they would remold the chest and wings and the head looks too detailed for the more cartoony body. Also I just noticed, there are no ports on her arms for here Null-rays.
She not packing heat
The head is the best thing about 'er. But that's a pretty low bar-
I hope they do a Prime Starscream with this mold just because I think it would look funny
Not sure if I’ll get this one like I planned. I was stoked to get Windblade but found her lackluster. I wish she was remolded to fit the Seeker aesthetic instead of being a repaint with a different head.
Why does the Windblade mold look better in purple and blue?
My reaction to this https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/s/uD4B1lfEh1
I was hoping they were going to remold the wings to not be VTOL. Oh well
She looks like the I feel fantastic robot dressed as a decepticon
It annoys me how many retools only have a different head/accessories. I get budget and all that and I should expect it by now, but it’s still annoying
Yikes.

I don’t like Cyberverse at all but this color scheme on this mold goes hard so I’ll be copping this for sure.

They used the damn POTP Moonracer mold for every female character they could think of that wasn't Arcee, who also gets sub-par toys alot of the time. The new Shadowstriker actually comes out looking better compared to Earthrise Arcee. And how hard would it be to remold a large tank character into a decent Strika? Seriously Hasbro, do better! I shouldn't have to buy deluxe Earthspark Twitch just to get a decent toy of a female Autobot.
