Is evryone talking about the skyblast in robot form or airplane form? The airplane one is so hard to knock down. I love it but its projectile is a little weak. This thread's about Skyblast in general, but I'm talking about using both figures together in a formation.

Well, not having the massive collections of figures or the experience that some of you have, I will say that Skyblast gets played on a near-constant basis when my friends and I go at it... and he generally performs pretty darn well. Sure, his jet mode is slower than the robot (why?!), but the jet is tough to knock over, the 'bot has a strong prod attack and is short, making him a little harder to hit. Your chances of getting him from Jet to robot are very good (77%, from the charts I've seen), so you can start out firing at your opponent from across the field, then change into the robot when you need another striker. Maybe he's not the best figure, but I certainly haven't found as much to complain about as everyone else. Personally, I think that he's just about the perfect starter figure. No, I won't use him forever, but he has me excited to get my hands on the other "transforming" TFs, and Attacktix in general. Since ideally, the point of a starter set is to get someone to buy more product, I'd say he's doing his job.

Yes, that is odd. Isn't skyblast an omincon? I'm just wondering. Those are the ones that can mine energon right? I wish they would come out with an attacktix figure that was like the medic droid for star wars. It could provide aid fallen transformers and/or power up some weapons so the same figure could fire twice. What do you all think? Another question, do you think we're ever going to see any powerlinked figures? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NJLED21nh4

Along with Arcee, Strongarm, Signal Flare plus all those other non-show repaints that were made. Since Omnicons basically did power up all of their fellow Autbots, that's a great idea to have them assist with maintenance, upgrades, etc.! For Powerlinx, I would personally like to see the individual characters before we start with Powerlinx Attacktix figures. Still, a good idea!

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for Megs getting good movement (8 is at least decent), and I can maybe see them not realizing that the two jets had ridiculously different speeds, but to have the "companion" robot mode be twice as fast as the jet? Since he does see a lot of play at my place, jokes along the lines of "The slowest jet in the universe is on the move!" abound.
