Hasbro Transformers Titans Return, Decepticon Sky Shadow/Black Shadow.

BLACK SHADOW/SKY SHADOW
(CLICK THE PICTURES TO ENLARGE [ALL MY PICS DIMENSIONS IS 1000x1000px OR 1920x1080px] POSSIBLE FOR WALLPAPER USE)

Black Shadow/Sky Shadow
Hailing from somewhere beyond the Milky Way galaxy, Black Shadow is a vile gangster whose skills in robbery, extortion and murder are available to anyone who can meet his price. He is loyal only to the highest bidder; even the Decepticons are loathe to work with him that often, as they can never be sure he won't betray them in mid-job if he gets a better offer. In jet mode, he can devastate buildings around him with powerful sonic shock waves by breaking the sound barrier while flying at low altitudes, a technique he calls his "Sonic Boomer Attack".



Black Shadow separated to two parts in alt mode, the upper body is transform into jet plane.

Top of the jet.

There is two cockpits on Black Shadow alt mode, one is on the jet, the other one is on the tank.

Details inside the cockpit.

The front part of the jet is a drone like vehicle for Titanmasters.

The drone surface is molded matte-like finish, feels really good. If the whole figure is cover with that finish, that is perfect.

There is one Titanmaster standing peg on each of the wings on the jet.

Don't know what kind of jet is this, it is like heavy space attack jet or some sort.

Lower part of the Black Shadow, a typical war tank.

Top of the tank.

This sets doesn't come with two Titanmaster, it is clearly this mold is for later Overlord. (the Takara version 'Titanmaster' (should be Chestforce?) should be Godmaster Giga and Mega)

Details of the cockpit.

The drone parts can plug on the tank like so.

There are also several standing points in the tank.

Flip open the base connector for bumper piece (extra details?), maybe someday will customize myself a mine plow for the tank? (really hope I got a 3D printer)

Comparing to both vehicle. I am using Titanmaster Bullhorn for the tank pilot, since it doesn't belongs to any transtector body.

There is a clip under the jet plane to clam/combine the tank. This mode look a lots like Magella Tank in Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, hehehe.

Tank deploy jet has arrived!

My own combined alt mode, heavy bomber jet.

Just simply angle the arms to 20 degree angle, and move those legs into C shape, flip open the back panel with aero wings, flip open the tilting ankle joint and open up the toe and base connector like in the picture, now we have the heavy bomber jet mode.

I was hoping the shoulder joint would be more tighter with ratchet joint, the arms would hold at that position better.

Base mode 360 GIF.

It can connect to other base mode by the toe base connector. It's actually there is another base connector under the jet head, but the position is a little bit weird.

How it connected, close shot.

It also compatible to Ginrai base mode too.

How it look connected to Ginrai base.

Just three bases, my background can't fill all in. (imagine if connected with Fortress Maximus, Sixshot, Blaster, and then later Overlord......)

Titansmaster Ominus.

Side. It look like Godmaster Mega so much.

Back.

Black Shadow robot mode 360 GIF.

Head height almost 9 inch.

Close up on Black Shadow face, nice face sculpt it got.

Torso details. The middle piece of chest open to reveal the clip for the tank.

The details is very good on the back.

Whole rectangular block like lower legs, really hope Hasbro makes Black Shadow different legs than Overlord. 😕

The tank turret goes into the legs nicely and looks good too. The cockpit can store a Titansmaster in robot mode.

This shoulder piece pops up easily, no screw hold it on the shoulder.

I try other Titansmaster on Black Shadow transtector body (Leader class Titansmaster), it works well.

Soundwave face looks great on this transtector. (I did try Deluxe class Titansmaster on the body, I didn't take those photos, because it look silly, haha)

On Soundwave transtector. Eh... Like some Tokusatsu evil general antagonist...

In Sixshot transtector. Look better if the helmet is black.

It is actually the helmet will cover up it's eyes if fully close, Black Shadow's face is longer than others.

Possibility some of the owner will flip out the base connector for extra details.

The head can turn 360.

And a bit to backward movement.

Arm articulation is acceptable, notice that the shoulder got two lift up joint, one is in the torso...

...the other is in the arm in white color, but you can't use them both to the maximum articulate angle.

The legs articulations is not bad too, I like it, it is better than other Leader class figure.

How much the legs articulation can go, in Yoga style, lol. Impressive! 👍

Black Shadow's gun, in black, red, silver colors, look a lot better than Overlord version (in toy show pics).

Can also plug on the forearm. The 5mm peg hole on the hand is very loose to hold any weapons, hope later Overlord improve this area.

Drone can be use as shield on the left arm.

Or another gun? It looks not bad.

With Titanmaster on the drone.

The drone can store on the back of Black Shadow.

Or maybe on the nose of the jet...

I found out there is a small hole on the drone can fit the Titanmaster peg under the forearm.

Both gun and drone can combine to form a larger weapon.

The poseable range of the figure is quite high, it is a nice big action figure. (far shot of the cover pic)

Compares to other Leader class figures, Soundwave and Sixshot.

Compares to Super Ginrai, Ginrai still taller than Black Shadow.

Somehow related to supreme commander Starsaber. (Victory series)

Fierce look of Black Shadow. (I didn't edit the eyes, it appears to glow itself...)

The Phase Sixers. (short one character)

Together, they destroy many planets and lives.

Someday, he could betray his companion...

"Trust no one..."

Black Shadow VS The Wreckers.

He meet his fate at last... The D.J.D.



Thanks for watching!
