Damn, I really would love this one. Def doable as a Duocon, Thunderwing or Overlord mold, though it might also work as an Omega Supreme-ish one too. And I really like that they've finally taken a leap of faith in having the fig split into two vehicles. =D
Seems like a pretty cool figure. I don't think I'd pay full price for it though and I may prefer the inevitable Overlord repaint. Hopefully there will be so many out there that one of my local stores will have an offer on him or something!
Having just received this today from BBTS, I find it funny this video was released nearly 3 months ago with the mention that it should be hitting BBTS "any day now".
Idk who looks better with this mold, Sky Shadow or Overlord. Both are equally good on their own and i'm not seeing myself wasting money for the same thing, so here's me contemplating which one is worthy on my shelf.
Oh thank goodness, CONNECTOR PORTS! Thanks for confirming, man. I see you have TR Leader Soundwave which you could connect to Sky Shadow in base mode. You could also connect TR Leader Sixshot while he is in his tank mode. BTW you have a great voice, man :)
This really reminds me of Energon Megatron. The jet mode looks just like Megatron's jet mode (But in different colors) and the tank reminds me of the little tank that that figure came with. I wish this got retooled into megatron...
ZetZatar It's also the name of a villain from F-Zero, and I'm pretty sure that's why Hasbro can't call their Black Shadow Black Shadow here in North America.
Several years later, after not knowing this existed, thinking it was a overlord retool (obvious legs) learning it's the other way around, i know believe this was also going to be skytread but cancelled.
He's almost like a Duocon. I like what I'm seeing here; he's really cool looking. There's potential for a custom Flywheels, or MAYBE an official repaint, but messing with this figure in that way would be a sin; he looks great on his own.
When you start seeing reviews of the Wave 4 Leader and you haven't even seen the Wave 2 Leader yet... TFs used to be a "I see them all in stores" line, has that officially changed? Anyways, I'm happy enough with my old Generations Deluxe Sky/Black Shadow to not get this, I'll wait for the Overlord repaint/retool, that should be epic. But in the meantime, I got some catching up with Titans Return to do...
Nice review, nice figure. I wouldn't mind getting this figure, Sky Shadow looks real good, good gimmick, although not a fan of the base modes. However I think ill pass on him, I just want to get Sixshot more!
A Leader Class figure that happens to be a partsformer? As long as he looks good and transforms easily, I might be sold. Now I just wish that he'd be on shelves in my area.
The base mode is lame in original configuration but if you fold down the tail fins and use them as sheilding for the gun and turn the legs around also the open feets can be flat on the ground and fold in all of the tank turret can you make it look as an artillery emplacement. to bad it isn't any small pegs for titan masters or 5 mm holes on the feets for it would have made it even better.
While he is cool, I think I will wait for the Overlord version, same as I do with the Voyager Prime and Megatron and their future Octane and Blitzwing versions.
Darkazon he actually was considered and included in a poll, but he lost to Optimus Primal. Other losers include Ultra Magnus, Hound, Arcee, Megatron, Shockwave, Star Saber and an Unknown Evil (later confirmed to be Deathsaurus)
Really hope that the eventually remold for Overlord comes with two titanmasters both with a different kind of facial expression, but that probably be asking too much
Who's new to Hasbro's double dipping here? Repaints and mold mates are the norm they just tend to be hit or miss. For me, TR Megatron an that OP are both a pass while I'll wait and see how Blitzwing and Octane turn out while this Sentinel Prime and Sky Shadow are clear wins for me despite knowing the main intention for those molds were Astrotrain and Overlord.
The amount of paint on this guy makes me really really want him! Too bad my local Walmart doesn't stock Leaders and the closest ToyRUs sells them for 50 fucking dollars!
Jetfire48 Tell that to Sixshot's Titan master, Revolver, who is based on Jack, a character from the original headmaster series who Sixshot tortures and brainwashes into a suicide bomber , ultimately killing him.
Nah, I think they made him the pretool because he's a more obscure character than Overlord. The idea is that people will pick him up because "yaaay new mold", and then pick up Overlord and probably Thunderwing because those two are much bigger characters than Black Shadow. Similar to how Sentinel is a pretool of Astrotrain.
Quiet Storm tidal wave is already rumored to get am voyager class retool of broadside also thats probably because sky shadow was retooled from overlord
I can also see this being either retooled or fan-modded into Flywheels (which was supposed to be Battletrap, as Flywheels has tank treads instead of wheels, but their names got switched on the packaging).
That tank transformation feels actually quite clever in it's simplisity
I can't wait to see the overload version of this figure.
me too
nicolas perkins Maybe he'll be at Toyfair later this month! You never know...
wouldn't mind to see a thunder wing repaint of this mold
robcas123 Neither would I! I buy it.
Overlord was at toyfair and he looks pretty cool!
I cracked up every time the name correction popped up with different effects. Thanks for the review BM!
Damn, I really would love this one. Def doable as a Duocon, Thunderwing or Overlord mold, though it might also work as an Omega Supreme-ish one too. And I really like that they've finally taken a leap of faith in having the fig split into two vehicles. =D
Sparkbomber gaster is your profile pic?
Yes, W.D. Gaster from Undertale. =D A great experience that game.
I've got to say, this is the coolest parts former I have ever seen!!! 😁
"Retrun"
Oh, Balt. :P
wow, i love the Titans Retrun figures.
you mean Hasbro actually painted the gun. Something strange is afoot.
Jb Broach illuminati
IIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLUMILUMILUMINATIII
Ben Onyejekwe kind of true
Titans Retrun returns
And saying "TItans Returns" continues...
Seems like a pretty cool figure. I don't think I'd pay full price for it though and I may prefer the inevitable Overlord repaint. Hopefully there will be so many out there that one of my local stores will have an offer on him or something!
Thanks for the review. "Robot kibble underneath" Yup, like every TF jet mode ever.
I really like the look of this transformer I will invest in this guy this new wave of Titan masters have been very impressive keep it up Hasbro.
I had no idea this guy split in half and made 2 vehicles. That's actually pretty cool!
I sure hope that when Overlord comes out, you can mix and match their pants!
I'm already liking this figures look then I find out that it's two vehicles and I absolutely love it
Joseph Keeler fun fact this guy actually is a retool of overlord....
Awesome figure and a great review!!! In the Hasbro tradition of giving us the less popular character first I'll bet you $100 Overlord is coming.
"Black in the back"
That's what she said.
I loved your video I love this figure even the base mode😆 definitely a great addition to my collection Transformers Forever Bro
Having just received this today from BBTS, I find it funny this video was released nearly 3 months ago with the mention that it should be hitting BBTS "any day now".
This is one step closer to a Titans Return Combiner.
Idk who looks better with this mold, Sky Shadow or Overlord. Both are equally good on their own and i'm not seeing myself wasting money for the same thing, so here's me contemplating which one is worthy on my shelf.
Oh thank goodness, CONNECTOR PORTS! Thanks for confirming, man. I see you have TR Leader Soundwave which you could connect to Sky Shadow in base mode. You could also connect TR Leader Sixshot while he is in his tank mode.
BTW you have a great voice, man :)
Very nice-looking. I'll be happy to wait for Overlord, though.
Titan master duocon! love it. definitely gonna pick it up if I can
This really reminds me of Energon Megatron. The jet mode looks just like Megatron's jet mode (But in different colors) and the tank reminds me of the little tank that that figure came with. I wish this got retooled into megatron...
"Black Shadow" sounds like an awesome 60's urban superhero. ;)
ZetZatar he wasn't he was a backstabbing bounty hunter in fact...
ZetZatar It's also the name of a villain from F-Zero, and I'm pretty sure that's why Hasbro can't call their Black Shadow Black Shadow here in North America.
I always look forward to him saying this is the hardest part. :)
Hasbro have stepped up there game on wave four of the Titans Return line. Thisfigure is excellent.
I'm definitely getting that figure. He's really cool.
Several years later, after not knowing this existed, thinking it was a overlord retool (obvious legs) learning it's the other way around, i know believe this was also going to be skytread but cancelled.
Amazing that Hasbro gave Sky Shadow actual paint job that includes his gun.
he looks a lot like Mazinger Z and I love it!
He's almost like a Duocon. I like what I'm seeing here; he's really cool looking. There's potential for a custom Flywheels, or MAYBE an official repaint, but messing with this figure in that way would be a sin; he looks great on his own.
LeoPrime75 cough cough maybe becayse he's a pretool of overlord
Oh, Okay. I wasn't familiar with that character/figure.
When you start seeing reviews of the Wave 4 Leader and you haven't even seen the Wave 2 Leader yet...

Jcc2224 Titans Retrun*
Leni Hates Everything Its titan's return titans retrun is a spelling error on balts video
Jetfire48 I know. That was the joke.
If you mess around with the base mode a bit, it could potentially have a working GERWALK mode
Nice review, nice figure. I wouldn't mind getting this figure, Sky Shadow looks real good, good gimmick, although not a fan of the base modes. However I think ill pass on him, I just want to get Sixshot more!
A Leader Class figure that happens to be a partsformer? As long as he looks good and transforms easily, I might be sold. Now I just wish that he'd be on shelves in my area.
Tony Chang Are you not watching the video? This guy looks piss easy to transform.
Leni Hates Everything
I know that he's easy to transform. Finding him on shelves in my hometown is another matter, though.
Tony Chang I know the feeling. My local Walmart doesn't even seem to stock Leaders.
Leni Hates Everything
My store shelves haven't seen Leader Classes in about a year.
Leni Likes Everything my store is stuck on combiner wars only Deluxes and legends ;-;
I can't wait for the overlord repaint.
The base mode is lame in original configuration but if you fold down the tail fins and use them as sheilding for the gun and turn the legs around also the open feets can be flat on the ground and fold in all of the tank turret can you make it look as an artillery emplacement. to bad it isn't any small pegs for titan masters or 5 mm holes on the feets for it would have made it even better.
I'll be getting overlord but good to know he's a good figure.
While he is cool, I think I will wait for the Overlord version, same as I do with the Voyager Prime and Megatron and their future Octane and Blitzwing versions.
nice effects balt lol
This guy should get retooled into Thunderwing.
Rugalheid Bernstein It most likely will
Rugalheid Bernstein I swear that I read somewhere that the next subline is gonna be called power of the primes so he'll probably be released then
Darkazon he actually was considered and included in a poll, but he lost to Optimus Primal. Other losers include Ultra Magnus, Hound, Arcee, Megatron, Shockwave, Star Saber and an Unknown Evil (later confirmed to be Deathsaurus)
Rugalheid Bernstein retooled RETOOLED ! All they would have to do would be to re mold the head helmet thing
just got mine today and i love him
Good review. While it looks good, I'll wait for the Overlord version. Heck, if Hasbro does a Thunderwing version, I may get that too.
I got this same figure years ago and I just checked it's price on Amazon and it's $89.99
Since Sky Shadow transforms into two different vehicles, does that count as him being a duocon like Battle Trap & Sky Tread?
I really hope I dont get one with loose joints like my power master prime. his ankle cant hold his weight and i just got him 2 weeks ago.
I liked the video, and I subscribed! :D
there is no question here, this will have the astrotrain treatment where they release the repaint first and then they'll give us overlord
I see half Sky Shadows in the flea market in the future:)
The jet/tank fusion reminds me of Megabots' MK2.
2:55 I was thinking the same thing about a retool to overlord
This guy really is a testament to how cool Super Sentai mecha could be if they tried harder.
When you turn the head to its vehicle mode, it looks like the turned head have a battlemask on it.
He looks so cool
Hoping they make a Flywheels out of this too, but I'm not getting my hopes up
Really hope that the eventually remold for Overlord comes with two titanmasters both with a different kind of facial expression, but that probably be asking too much
James Hickson My thoughts would've been having one head look like G1 Overlord and have the other look like IDW Overlord.
Looks like we will get an overlord from this
should have been from the start, just like megatron/blitzwing
They ensure more sales this way by selling the redecos first before releasing the toys the moulds were obviously meant for.
Who's new to Hasbro's double dipping here? Repaints and mold mates are the norm they just tend to be hit or miss. For me, TR Megatron an that OP are both a pass while I'll wait and see how Blitzwing and Octane turn out while this Sentinel Prime and Sky Shadow are clear wins for me despite knowing the main intention for those molds were Astrotrain and Overlord.
The amount of paint on this guy makes me really really want him! Too bad my local Walmart doesn't stock Leaders and the closest ToyRUs sells them for 50 fucking dollars!
Leni Hates Everything Thats the typical price of a leader class transformer you realize they are supposed to cost around 45$-50$
Jetfire48 I was expecting $45. And to clear up something, I meant to say $52. That just seems a little too much for me.
This should have gotten waist articulation because it could be around the point where it combines.
A discount store has it for $75. Should I buy?
WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS GUY!?!?!
if you play with this there is so much aspects of play like he got cut in half
I have a bot named Skyshadow, but he suffers from low self-confidence. Only when overcoming it, he can become invisible.
I know, that we are getting Overlord out of this at some point.. But I really really would like to have TR Sky Shadow. Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme!!
Can you review Brainstorm?
It can repaint as one of the Duo Con Flywheels/Skytread.
sixshotx its actually an retool of overlord and as for the duocons I doubt they would make them in leader class...
Is it me, or does the helmet look perfect for Dai Atlas?
You almost to 200,000 subs
Are those stickers? Laaame.
they're gonna have to heavily retool that thing to get it to look like overlord
I bet Takaratomy is going to do a major remold (not just repaint!)
I hope it is not just a titan master Sentinel Prime or Megatron or Prime.
sixshotx For overlord probably they will not sure if they will do black shadow
You know your not wrong calling him black shadow because that is his Japanese name originally. They for some reason called him sky shadow in the U.S.
TransformersMan51 they don't have the trademark.
I like it. but not enough to get. I'm fine with my chug. will wait to get this as Overlord.
I think why Hasbro make skyshadow as a pretool for overlord is a homage of his death in idw when his body was ripped in half by the DJD
Superior Soundwave ehhhh I don't think hasbro would go that far in homages....
Jetfire48 Tell that to Sixshot's Titan master, Revolver, who is based on Jack, a character from the original headmaster series who Sixshot tortures and brainwashes into a suicide bomber , ultimately killing him.
GandalfSheritler oh yeah him! good times...
Nah, I think they made him the pretool because he's a more obscure character than Overlord. The idea is that people will pick him up because "yaaay new mold", and then pick up Overlord and probably Thunderwing because those two are much bigger characters than Black Shadow. Similar to how Sentinel is a pretool of Astrotrain.
***** but aren't op and Megs alot more popular than blitzwing and octane
where can i get this?
I'm we will get both Overloud and Thunderwing repaints.
Man, Titans Retrun is scuh a good lien of toys.
I like the name black shadow more than sky shadow anyways, but other than that its a really cool toy.
You recommend THIS over Sixshot!?
great video 😊 nicely done, also anybody else getting a tidal wave feel in the leg section of black shadow (skt shadow )😆😅
Quiet Storm tidal wave is already rumored to get am voyager class retool of broadside also thats probably because sky shadow was retooled from overlord
isn't this transformer classified as a "parts former" since the waist and legs come apart from the body
Transforming Jordan no, he'd be considered a Duocon, like Overlord, Flywheels, and Battletrap
Lrobson 09 ok thanks
Transforming Jordan no problem ^-^
We didn't get this and overlord in New Zealand. That's not fair
when baltimatrix said that he loved the color scheme who else thought Balt X Emgo
My 2 favorite UA-camr of toku, transformers
his name is Sky Shadow
The tank mode is kinda cute
looks like overlord from postmaster transformers it turns into vehicles and base
Hey Baltmatrix, how much is he?
titans retrun is the best
I don't know why they made an entirely new figure for Skytread when they could've just done a repaint of this guy
totaly gunna be repainted/retooled into overlord
Dragonn 29 why not Thunderwing?
Dragonn 29 Overlord was revealed at botcon... this black shadow probably was retooled from overlord
DO we know what overlord will look like?
Ben Ulrand ben I have feeling its probably gonna be g1 design cause the IDW design is much more complex
Well.....
Time to make an excuse to buy this and six shot
nowayto isOP Heres one this guy is an retool of overlord and we already got a deluxe class black shadow?
Jetfire48 The Deluxe was ok, in my opinion. Black Shadow does work this mold pretty well.
Metal slug?! I was thinking the same thing. Lol
Paint on a Hasbro Transformer?!
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Shigani Kanaki The end times are near! Unicron's gonna eat our ass and there nothing we can do to stop it!
Shigani Kanaki They got gud
I couldn't tell but is sky shadow a conehead?
RedKnightCommantary No, he never was, and isn't one now.
Jarmo Verriet oh ok then I'm just blind then and an idiot
I can see this being retooled into Energon Megatron and Thunderwing
I can also see this being either retooled or fan-modded into Flywheels (which was supposed to be Battletrap, as Flywheels has tank treads instead of wheels, but their names got switched on the packaging).
Or Overlord!
Chakat Stripedfur this guy is a pretool of overlord....
godofzombi overlord is already planned
sweet!
1. Titan master, yes
2. Power master, nooooo...
3. I saw the pics for Overlord.
Think of the jet tank mode as the jet carrying the tank
jet mode remind me of Phoenix' from Battle of the Planets on this transformers
