@guncannon109 Shockblast is a character in Energon that closely resembles G1 Shockwave. The character was going to be called Shockwave but hasbro couldn't get the rights to that name.
I love this figure. Perfect example of everything I love about transformers. Great looking in both modes, easy yet unique transformation, and great coloring. I'm willing to forgive articulation because it does those three things so darn well.
what was the name of the one that became a type of beetle?because I want to remember it's name so I can tell my friends "oh yeah that one's one of my favorites, it's called--"
this was probably the best of the omnibots...probably my second favorite from the size class...Divebomb has the first place spot...reminds me of Skyfire as well
You said shockblast about 3:20 , lol. I find it funny that they must have intended to call him Skyfire (Since there's alreadyu a Jetfire, they probably did it to avoud confusion.)
The camo' recolour is Air Raid whilst the gray & tan recolour is also called Skyblast. Both those figures where sold as part of the original movie line...not that this mold fitted in with that line! : )
Looking at Air Raid's colour scheme, it may have been a source of inspiration for 'Dark Of The Moon' Air Raid.
Just picked this guy up (minus Gun/staff thing) for 3 bucks, So far like him as much as univers air Raid Repaint.

@guncannon109 He IS Skyblast. Who amusingly got only a bit-part in one episode.

I've been eyeing this thing for quite a while, but hadn't really seen a review on it until now. Thanks Spada!

I reckon he was one of my favourite from that class/season. A good homage for G1 cartoon Jetfire/Skyfire.

for as much flak as energon gets, it really did get some neat scout class figures.

His combined vehicle mode looks awesomely like Spike Spiegle's ship from Cowboy Beebop.

I had the figure before this review was made.
The two spear point halves can be held as twin swords or daggers.

A nice basic little figure. The spear weapon looks pretty good, too.
