That's not to say there aren't sacrifices made at all.

Hm, I'd say it's less of a sacrifice and more of a limitation due to size. Though I wouldn't mind seeing more elbows, haha.

I certainly hope this rumour is true and accurate. The only possible reason why I wouldn't buy all of these voyagers is if any of the leader figures were superior.

On that note, has it been confirmed whether or not the Beast Hunter leader figures will even retain the Weaponizer gimmick? With the inclusion of firing projectiles on both the deluxe and voyager figures, maybe we've seen the back of the RiD gimmicks.

I'm not going to get even remotely excited about KNT TL. Any listing that obscure always turns out to be a major letdown.

Weaponizers are a size class and a gimmick. Not just a gimmick like Powerizers. Leaders and Weaponizers are two different things.

We don't have any confirmed leaders. We have three Weaponizers.

OP and PK I already know, but lets see how the others go!

Hmm... SW does look like a good idea to me, and he looks like a good replacement for FOC SW. And UM's toy should have to wait. But who's the third guy?

You know what it adds up to? It adds up to Hasbro saying "Ultra Magnus is no longer a white cab that bears a resemblance to Optimus Prime. No, Ultra Magnus is now all blue and you fanboys are going to shut up and take it!"

If there's just one BH figure I HAVE to get, this might be the one.

I hope he retains his G1-esque look from the CGI scenes we've seen so far, and not too "beast-ified." At the very least, I hope he has removable armor like Smokescreen so you can choose to display him without his BH-armor.

Yup. :lol: But he does look pretty good, at least in principal. Obviously the toy releases have been lacking in (or devoid of) paint, but I'd imagine the actual model will be gloriously colored!

As long as Uncle Magnus isn't a straight white O.P, I, a fanboy, am happy to shut up and take it! :grin:

First there was Cyberverse UM, then Voyager UM, later Kapao told us of Weaponizer/Leader UM, next made an appearance in Rage Of Dinobots, and now BH Voyager UM? :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN:

If all is true, 4 UM figures before making a TV debut, is unheard off. Somehow, I got the feeling his BH Voyager figure is going to look like the Orion Pax clips/ Incentive Animated Series Character Variant Cover:

Here's to the hope that it's actually a fairly decent figure

I went to a local Walmart and there was nothing I mean nothing on the pegs. I expected to see nothin' and 50 BB's but there was not one damn TF. :VEHI:



ieh i half agree with your statement if we are getting shockwave he probaly be getting spiky upgrade thats what all characters looking like now forget season 2 look of shockwave hello spikewave with flashy colors egh hate to see megatron literly. i perfer nomral looking shockwave with purple but we getting him now will most likely be be spike looking.

holding off judgement until actuly pictures of figure show up that will be most intersting day pictures of shockwave how he looks

I'm not too sure about these. For one, they're parsed pretty oddly for Wal-Mart's usual standard of TF listings.

What gets me is the "TL" listing.

Funny you mentioned Walmart. I saw two days ago on the transformers shelves that there are two pricing for the supposedly weapon user class. One aside weaponizer and priced at $32.xx Another next to it says transformers leaders and priced at $34.xx. Maybe a new class or price increase??

I was under the impression the big dragon was going to be in the newly revived leader class.

Anyone think that logically it maybe another knockout figure? Awesome for shockwave though.

Not sure, the shelves were empty. Not sure if that price (34) was for the lower price for dotm leader, of which is selling for cheaper. Milking every penny they get. Even at that price they still make money, which Ross and Marshall is selling for 24 bucks. Leader iron hide, sentinel, and leader bumblebee.

Of course I'm speculating. I mean why wouldn't Walmart jump on the bandwagon when smaller discount chains are selling for cheaper. Target during Christmas was selling dotm deluxes two for 9.99. Walmart must have gotten some sort of deals to continue milking the dotm lines.

Uncle Magnus SHOULD be a straight white O.P. repaint with a different trailer he combines with. REAL UM fanboys would know this! VENT! OUTRAGE! RANT! Image

A voyager Shockwave would be great. Just sucks that it's TF Prime instead of classics or even FOC. Why is it just the kiddie continuities get a voyager Shockwave ??? (Animated/Prime) Headrobots give this figure the classics treatment !!!
