OTCC Slipstream

Series: Transformers Collectors Club
Year: 2013
Allegiance: Decepticon
Class: Deluxe

The truth is well-hidden. To find it, you have to lose yourself in a sea of lies.
Slipstream is a mystery to all those whom she meets. No one knows who she is or from where she comes. All that they know is that she seems a little different from the rest of the Cybertronians who have made Axiom Nexus their home. This Decepticon poses as a spy for hire, selling her skills to the top bidders from among the more nefarious members of Axiom Nexus´ criminal element. Her ability to cloak her energy signature lends itself well to this line of work as, when enabled, it renders any detector, alarm, and some Cybertronians, blind to her whereabouts. Even the Transtech have not found a trustworthy means of tracking her. If cornered, she can use her arm-mounted Alternating Gyro-Power (AGP) Nullifier missiles to generate a cascading EMP shockwave capable of disrupting the energy flow in machine, mech and robot for a half-hic. As crafty a schemer as any Starscream, only she knows her true agenda as she stalks the darkest alleys of Axiom Nexus.

Please be aware that this is not a review, as I have never had this figure in hand. The pictures were provided by my good buddy James and I have reviewed another version of this toy, which is linked below for reference.

Remarks: Slipstream is a repaint (with a new head) of First Edition Starscream from Transformers Prime, whom I have previously reviewed. The figure was available via the Official Transformers Collectors Club's subscription service. It's also the first-ever toy version of Slipstream, the female Starscream clone, after her debut in the Animated cartoon. Her bio places her at the Transtech city of Axiom Nexus, meaning she could hail from anywhere within the Transformers multiverse. Her profile keeps it vague whether she is actually the character from Animated or hails from a different continuity.
