Hmm.. I have Dreadwind, and he is awesome because a) he has a new head and b) the mold can be displayed in different configurations so he looks quite different from Jetfire/Skyfire. I highly recommend looking him up on Ebay.
But while it would be nice to have the pair - and I think it is great that Hasbro have done this - Darkwing I will definitely not pick up unless he has a new head.
So bring on robot mode pics!

Now, wouldn't it be cool if they added some of the pegs that are on the bottom of Jetfire's booster-pack to this toy, so you could actually connect it to Botcon Dreadwind?

Rawr! CRAZY! It's actually Thunderwing!
(I hate the colours, but I'll probably pick the Purple Fighter when it comes out)

A G1 Darkwing style head will probably equal a buy for me. A different gun would be good too, but it looks like the same one from the image.

I've seen someone digibash Silverbolt into Darkwing before, and the original head is actually a REMARKABLY good fit for Darkwing. All you need is modified paint applications, and it's a pretty close fit to the original toy.

but if i do get this one (with new head) i'll have to get silverbolt to go with him

Darkwing would have been better suited to Jetfire's mold, even if they already made Dreadwind from that.

Actually he does, just with a visor instead of eyes
Even if it's a strict repaint and not a remold, I don't think many fans will be complaining.

and I'm personally glad they Didn't make him a Powermaster...the gimmick of having a transformer that needs a key to transform is vastly overrated
Here's hoping we can get Classics Percepter next (thinks real hard)

Only if it has a new head though.
