(NOTE: Because this is a repaint, this is not a full-blown review. This mainly covers any changes made to the mold and the color scheme, and merely compares it to Energon Sky Shadow. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Energon Sky Shadow here.)

    Terradive is a fantastic repaint of Sky Shadow all-around. The white-and-blue color goes great with a plane, and it's certainly fitting, too. The blue and white are pretty pure colors, and coupled with the nice light milky blue, give Terradive a calmer look than his partner Sky Shadow. The gold and black serve as good contrasts to the other colors, and actually help to give Terradive a bit of a royal look-- not to mention having gold wings and turbines is just plain cool. He also has a few other colors to help even things out, like silver and orange, that are used in just one place (the chest). And he's got a good amount of paint apps on him, with many of them in different places than on Sky Shadow, so it doesn't have the lazy look of a repaint that's just a straight pallet switch. And some of the paint apps are actually in better places-- for example, I still don't like the look of Terradive's face, but he doesn't have those weird paint apps around his mouth like Sky Shadow did, so no goofy "mustache" here.
    No mold changes have been made to Terradive, but he does have two added blue Powerlinx symbols, one on each wing-- the earlier versions of Sky Shadow didn't have these symbols.
    Terradive has one of the best decos in the Energon line, and he's already a pretty good mold anyways. Recommended over Sky Shadow if you only want one version of the mold-- this version's about as good as it's going to get, folks.
