Autobot Strider wrote:However, those are fairly minor issues... scale is NEVER perfect and I've read about the shoulder fix. Even still, given the rumoured / announced Powerizer figure, which would be a bit larger, probably have some sweet guns, and isn't priced much higher than a Voyager, I'm considering waiting it out to see what the Beast Hunters Powerizer Magnus will look like.
He would probably be in better scale with the other Prime figures, and I'm sure if he has a hammer it would be a more reasonably sized weapon.
My concern with the Powerizer though - so far, I'm not much of a fan of the Beast Hunters figures' aesthetic...
So should I scoop up the Voyager figure if I find it, as a 'pretty darn good' figure, or wait to see if the Powerizer is 'More Epic!' or 'More Fail!' before dispensing my cash? I really just don't want to miss getting Voyager Magnus at retail prices if his upsized counterpart is going to be too spiky...
Thanks.

PrymeStriker wrote:Wait for pics of the Weaponizer if you're really that concerned about his "scale." It's not like any of the issues on the Voyager can't be easily fixed.

If I were you, I would buy the voyager if you see it. If you are concerned about the other on one being bigger and better, you can keep it boxed, keep your receipt, and return it. Use the store credit to buy the new one.

Ok, I've never modified one of my transformers minus changing out batteries so this scares me a little. I actually love my UM and don't want to ruin him. However, I would really like to get his shoulder issue taken care of.'
So my question regards how exactly to accomplish the clear nail polish mod. Do I pop off the arms and coat the inside of the ball joint? Or do I coat the end of the ball instead? I'm assuming I then just wait until it dries and then pop the arms back on? How many coats/how thick?

Sorry but any figure I have to "fix" it to make it work is a sucky figure. Even if after the fix it turns into the best figure ever, it's still sucky!

If that's your only complaint, it shouldn't be much of a "suckish" figure.
Loose shoulders? Oh no!

He doesn't like the figure. Does he really need to explain why so you can understand?

I'm starting to think that bird in hand is worth two in the bush... if I find him I may just pick him up (hopefully some on-sale nail polish too... )

It doesn't need to make sense, that's the beauty of individuality. If somebody isn't happy with a figure for any reason, accept it and move on.

I did move on. It still doesn't make sense, but that doesn't mean I can't accept it. So, in this situation, my decision was not to feed a baiting troll. You can't blame me for asking a question, which you may or may not have taken the wrong way.Nemesis Destron wrote:So without getting too far off the point is it a fact that there will be a weaponizer UM?
Yes, it is. He's in Wave 1 of the Beast Hunters Weaponizers with Optimus & Bumblebee... again.Autobot Strider wrote:Thanks for the pics guys!

This isn't a snap of mine, but here's Ultra Magnus next to a custom PRiD Optimus and a custom PRiD Bumblebee.
