Solscud007 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 So after getting the Starscream, I wanted G1 style weapons. Another idea came to me, Jetfire and VF-1!!!!! So here is the mock up for the Skystriker Gunpod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 That is an awesome idea, the Skystriker was my favorite GI JOE toy ever, I need to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae_productions Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hasbro needs to do this next! Brilliant! Seriously, Hasbro could really milk this thing. Skywarp. Thundercracker. Sunstorm. Acidstorm. Icestorm. With a little re-tooling we could have... Ramjet. Dirge. Thrust. Makes me want to jump in on the customs! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 You know, with a little plasticard, the cheap robotech VF-1S vehicle toy and a few other bits and bobs you could make a decent 1:18ish VF-1 toy out of the skystriker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. Not quite to 1:18 scale, but a million times better than the Matchbox version of the 80's (and ExoSquad reissue of the 90's).

SebastianP Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Gotta complain some - I had the Skystriker toy, and the gun pod on that was essentially a perfect match for the Tomcat's drop tanks, except for the four muzzle ports. The pod itself retained the point and the blunt tail: http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/83/skystriker/skystriker_bottom.shtml The pod might be somewhat overscale, but then the entire Skystriker was a mishmash. What you have there looks much more like it belongs on a VF-1, ergo the Jetfire toy... SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Solscud's plan was to make a Jetfire custom from the Sky Striker. But then again he also planned to make the Roy Focker Skull. But will he ever get to it... lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
