(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 Titans Return Terri-Bull. For a review on the mold itself, read the review of Titans Return Terri-Bull here.)

    The Titan Master Skytread's robot mode is kept entirely the same (in terms of details) when compared to Terri-Bull, with no mold changes-- however, the Titan Master's head mode facesculpt has been changed to G1 Flywheels'. (Flywheels is now apparently called Skytread because of copyright reasons.) Anyways, the arms give Skytread really obvious side antennae that are definitely not on the original toy, but other than that it's a solid headsculpt, re-doing Flywheels' headsculpt with more modern proportions. He's got a circular forehead, vents on the sides of his cheeks, a center crest on his forehead, and a few minor "circuitry-like" details. He's also got a dull red visor and a silver face. Other than the face, though, there's no paint apps on the entire Titan Master, which is unfortunate, particularly in robot mode. As for the color scheme of the whole set itself, it again follows G1 Flywheels' general color scheme with a muddy "moderate" brown and fuchsia being the main colors. It's a rather unique color scheme, with both colors being rather "medium" in shade but still contrasting against each other fairly well. There's also just a touch of darker brown paint on the windows of the cockpit in jet mode, which looks okay but isn't really different enough from the brown plastic to really add much to the color scheme-- I wish another color or two had been added as accents on the accessory. That said, I do like the color breakup particularly in jet mode, as there's quite a lot of fuchsia paint on the toy-- on the nosecone, the wings, the revealed details on the body when you flip out the wings, and on the missiles on the sides. When the brown is broken up that much-- even if the other colors besides fuchsia aren't used-- he still looks fairly visually interesting.
    Other than the new facesculpt, no mold changes have been made to Skytread.
    The Titans Return Skytread set fits the former Duocon a lot better than Terri-Bull, given that the original Flywheels became both a jet and a tank. The main colors look pretty good, though I wish there was a bit more color variety on the accessory and at least some paint on the Titan Master's robot mode. Still, overall I think the color scheme is quite unique and a slight improvement over Terri-Bull's, even though it's a bit incomplete as far as an actual "update" of the character.
