Where do the Beast Mode hind legs vanish in to?

Also, is Hasbro FINALLY ditching the "Powerizer" gimmick on Voyagers?

forogt to mention he looks like scourge from energon series his 2 guns in beast mode are replaced by 2 heads bot mode simaler in comparisons

That looks beautiful. I'm probably going to wait on the larger figure, as it seems to be the more scale accurate figure after watching the promo of season 3 at NYCC, but Hasbro is really cleaning up their act here.

Now, if we get our own mold of Smokescreen & Shockwave, Hasbro just won.

What do you mean "finally"? It was the gimmick for one size class in one toyline. Only 8 figures, assuming Skyquake ever makes it to market. And it hasn't even been a full year. I know it wasn't a popular gimmick but you're making it sound like it infected the entire brand.

Where do you get any indication he meant the entire brand? The "Powerizer" gimmick was strictly PRiD, so I'm sure he was referring to those Voyagers.

Looks pretty sweet correct me if i'm wrong but is this the first time we've seen spring-fire missiles on a voyager since HFTD?

Yep. We're also getting missiles for the larger Predaking (although I can't tell if they're spring-loaded). Also, Beast Hunters Wheeljack's Falcon Spear has a firing capture ring and Lazerback has firing acid missiles. I'm so happy they stopped ignoring firing projectiles.

The "energon series" includes Armada, Energon, and Cybertron, and it's called the Unicron Trilogy.

On that note, Scourge was in Transformers Cybertron, not Energon.

My point is that he's making such a fuss about it that you would think the problem was more wide-reaching than it really is.

Hasbro, congratulations on a Beastformer who doesn't just standup, and have a fold down beast head to reveal the bot head. I think the beast mode hind legs fold up and become the back half of the bot mode legs, but they're well hidden and I for one like how it's done, from what I can see. 2 distinct modes ... well played!

You sound like this is the first time they've ever done a beast figure whose transformation wasn't just "stand up on limbs and fold down the head".

What happened to that big ass version of Predaking from the initial scans of Comic Con's prototype? I actually loved the size of that said Predaking.

That's the bigger size class figure. This is the Voyager. Different size class = different toy.

You think he makes it sound more widespread because he used the word "finally." You're keying in on a word that defines a long time. A long time can vary, it doesn't have to be more than a year. 8 months can be considered a "long time." Let's not forget that the PRiD Voyager figures will be on shelves a little while longer, which will probably hit your "full year" minimum.
