Description   Decided to do a review its been a while and also has been some time since I bought a third party figure. I put some cubeecraft on hold for a bit until I pick up another mouse so figured I would do one of my reviews.
   I've been interested in iron factory's products for quite a while and ordered a few of them but only one that was in stock that I was interested in on my go to site tfsource was shrikes feather(I ordered the others from ebay) after the severe let down of the cyberverse scout class slipstream and then trying to fix the thing to where it passed as a transformer turned into more of a pain in the ass than the figure was worth I gave up on it and said im buying a slipstream that I know will be good. I am not sure which name they intended to call her because on the site and on the front of the box its shrike's feather but on the back of the box in tiny letters under the robot photos it says streamwing so no clue but its slipstream none of the less.
  Iron factory do a really good job with adding excellent articulation, fun transformations and a ton of detail to legends scaled figures so I knew they would do her justice and they honestly did. the material is excellent, very similar plastic to Mastermind creations ocular max series so she aint breaking. the paint work is very beautiful in hand. my camera has a hard time picking up her purple but its more of a dark shockwave esc purple similar to her look on TFA. the teal is more of a mint green but it works very well. the silver is gorgeous and I love her sculpted details. she's very animated style compared to the others in their line which works perfect for the character for me. 
   articulation is rather nice though she lacks some of the points their other seekers have(which basically have everything) but she is also a hella smaller than they are so I can see why she lacks the wrist and waist but the thigh cut was a shock to me but maybe with how tiny and thin her parts are they decided against it, maybe it would have made her fragile. but she has a ball jointed head that gets very expressive poses, ball joint shoulders and elbows, ball hips, hinged knees that get a damn good curl, and ball jointed feet. you can also make use of her hands by letting her hold the null rays instead of mounting them on the arms. (yes they are compatable with cyberverse legends like the movie line and TFP)

all in all I find her to be a joy and a Godsend compared to the Hasbro one that just came out..just forget it exists guys.... she is tiny but I love it. very adorabe, fun transformation and she gets great expressive poses. oh almost forgot there is a flight stand port on the back of the figure and she incudes an adapter for their stands

im starting to be a fan of the legends scale lol running out of space for their larger counterparts
so companies like DX9, Iron Factory and magic square are starting to appeal to me.
I just got the Dx9 legends coneheads as well as iron factory's overlord so I will show them off
later. they're fun as all get out man and little ones like slipstream there, scale perfect with the likes of trypticon and metroplex

Yeah I picked up one of those Hot soldiers Soundwaves and Ironhide and those is pretty cool. I got some of the Takara Robot Masters to put with them. Got the Prime Standing next to Iron Hide. Amd tempted to get the DX9 Prime is it? with trailer? I want the Little Legendary Heroes Bumblebee. Can't remember the 3rd Party names. hehe Might ask for some for Christmas. Plus would mind a few DX9 dinobots. lots of those legends style ones. and yep will looks good next to the huge city bots.

I saw that new hot soldier prime. looks cool with the roller and mobile repair bay thing too. very tempted to get that. missed out on the DX9 prime. think that Magic Square is going to do a legend prime too. they got a MP style one.
