Title:
Skyquake
Description:
Skyquake (Voyager, 2012)
Series / Number: 01 / 007
Accessories: Light-up pulse cannon/Shatterwave blaster, sword
Part of the fifth and final wave of Prime: Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, Skyquake is a redeco of Dreadwing. He comes with a pulse cannon (retooled from Dreadwing’s cannon to have a new barrel) and sword, both of which can be mounted (via 5 mm posts) onto ports on his forearms, hands, wings, and back, as well as behind the cockpit canopy. The sword itself features an additional peg on its hilt, and the cannon has a peg-hole on its translucent side. The cannon can transform into a longer-barreled "Shatterwave blaster” that’s illuminated at the barrel by a red LED as a sort of "Energon glow”. As with other Robots in Disguise Voyager Class toys, the deployed weapon cannot lock into place.
Skyquake’s wave was pretty much skipped by most US retailers, leaving fans to order him from online outlets or get them from European fans. However, in late spring/early summer of 2013, US Toys"R"Us stores started putting the Skyquake waves on shelves. At one per case, Skyquake was still difficult to come across, but hey, beats his prior distribution!
His stock photography depicts him with much brighter translucent orange plastic, as well as silver paint operations on his shoulder-pads and jet fuselage that were omitted on the final product.
Voyager Skyquake and Dreadwing’s very similar looking left & right robot mode feet are notorious for being incorrectly added to the figure during factory assembly, resulting in a left foot on a right leg, a right foot on a left leg, two left feet, or two right feet. Not having the right foot on the right leg and left foot on the left leg causes him to not stand properly because each foot is designed on the bottom to sit at a specific slanted angle. Both feet look very similar to one another, however they can be identified by finding the corresponding "L” and "R” on each one. If placed on a flat surface to be viewed, one will notice that both feet have subtle slants to their stance.
All versions of this mold have a spot that’s very prone to breakage: the thruster/ stabilizer fin assembly which folds up onto his back has a joint that can crack and break the whole assembly off- even on brand new figures! This can be avoided by gluing it in vehicle mode configuration- while it loses functionality it is not detrimental to his robot mode.
This mold was also redecoed into Timelines Megaplex.
