this is by far the best voyager hasbro has made for this toy line. i would buy this 10 times over if i could. getting it for sure. BUY ON SIGHT!!! and plus they need to start making more mechtech weapons that lock damn it.

looks great cant buy him 3rd party, possible dr wu could make shoulder missles for him to attach to his shouldrs

Why do you need to do that? He's already got ports on his shoulders for the missile he already has to go on his shoulder. All you need is a 2nd one.

vehicle mode looks terrible. I think much of it is down to the colours and lack of detail, but it's not a nice looking truck either. the gun being on backwards in vehicle mode made me think of a crane, or ladder though, so maybe such a thing could be used in a repaint/retool?

robot mode doesn't look bad. it looks like (and that's all we've got to go on from that "review") that he has okay articulation and range of movement. I quite like the transformation, like Ratchets, where stuff folds around other stuff to make him appear more solid. the hammer/gun looks decent in either mode, but the missile doesn't look good anywhere.

...it's amazing. He does get worse with each new view. That vehicle mode is a slice of AWFUL. The robot mode...I just can't get past the fact that an entire piece of the vehicle mode IS HIS BACK!

The single missile makes him look asymmetrical.

The weapon? Only positive thing. I love it. Locks, too. (MOAR of this, Hasbro.)

Pass. Even Thundertron looks better than this guy.

A little fact checking and some lighting could have helped. Ten plus minutes of opinion isn't a figure review. No offense if the author is reading. Just, you know, do the facts and wrap up with your thoughts.

I'm pretty happy to see the Powerizer weapon actually locks in place for a change. It also looks nice to me in both modes. Real excited for the figure it comes with too. ...What?

I mean no disrespect here, but ten minutes of opinion PLUS going through transformation IS a review, thats how he chooses to do it and theres nothing wrong with it. And while youre right, that isnt Breakdowns head, i can see the similarities to BD and Swerve so its not totally off base there. And for the vehicles, the way that panels rotate and wrap around the leg is identical. Vehicles themselves, no similarity

The lighting remark i disagree with, you could see part where the lighting had increased and the colours looked quite washed out, the levels for the majority of the review gave a better contrast for the details, plus with a backdrop like that its probably best

really cant wait to get this in hand. so excited its stupid

Maybe you could buy 2, and make one of them into Sentinel Prime...



Minus the hammer and missle though

That looks kickass dude

I'm likin this guy much more than i thought i would, he has a stunning robot mode and pretty much the best prid mechtech, right before megatrons imo.

His legs are kind of like a simplified version of dotm ironhide; anybody else see that?

Betcha that's already in Hasbro's plan for a repaint. Or maybe TFCC...

Hmm. The color scheme looks pretty good on that mold... As for TFCC...Prime figures would be the ONLY way I'd ever give Botcon my money.
