Title:
Sandstorm WFC-GS21
Description:
Decepticon Sandstorm (Voyager Class, 2020)
Series: War for Cybertron: Earthrise
ID number: WFC-GS21
Accessories: 2 ”Null-Ray blasters”
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, ”Decepticon Sandstorm” is a redeco of Ramjet, transforming into a modified F-15 fighter jet with cranked-arrow delta wings based on the F-16XL prototype. He is now cast in a desert camo deco, and has a shark face marking on his nosecone. As one of the Coneheads, Sandstorm features a new headsculpt based on the original Conehead design, though it is a faux piece not formed from the actual nosecone.
The figure’s design and transformation scheme are heavily based on the 2006 Classics Starscream mold (and its subsequent retool of Ramjet), while adding points of articulation the earlier figure did not have such as pivoting ankles, a more expressive ball-jointed head, and hinges that allow the wings to fold backwards on his legs in robot mode. However, due to this, his torso is very hollow at the sides and his intended waist articulation was dropped due to the physical space required for transformation.
Care must be taken when transforming Sandstorm, as the paint on the tip of the head can rub against the inside of the jet’s nosecone. Despite being a Generation 2-inspired redeco, Sandstorm has G1-style Decepticon logos on his wings. Believe it or not, this is genuinely consistent with original Generation 2 Seeker toys.
The plastic used to make Sandstorm’s forearms and hands has been reported to yellow over time.
