It turns out its a voyager, you glad?

I was thinking they'd just paint him white like IDW or Blue like the movie, but if you're thinking Alpha Trion then that's definitely a figure I'd want.

I'd love anIDW Drift of that mold, but me thinks Origin means Cybertronian alt--His Minicon shooter figure. Unless thats already been labelled?
Turns out it was a IDW Drift redeco. For some reason I dont think it works well on the figure, but that's just me. That new head sculpt looks super sweet though.

Battle Grimlock looks like a redeco of FoC Grimlock. Has the same sword. Paint me very interested in this one.
I'm not familiar with Black Shadow, is that a new mold or a re-use of an old one?
I'm liking the term battle used on these guys. Reminds me of the toys of my youth.
There is no difference with Jazz, which makes sense since none of the previous VS sets had changes on both figures.
And that looks like a crazy remold of FOC Grimlock. Like a complete reshell. The part that gives it away to me is the hands and shoulders. The tail looks to be designed way better than FOC grimlock was where it was obvious it was simply the legs. I might get this one.
And Blackshadow is a rerelease of a Hasbro toy from a few years back and that toy was itself a retool of
Thunderwing. I am personally not a fan of that mold, it has as much robot kibble under the jet as Silverbolt.
And I am glad there is another Optimus. Of course, Takara needs to milk that mold like any other and since it was sold out everywhere, I am glad people will have another chance to get it. Not a fan of the all spark blue he will sport (if that is what the pictures are trying to say) so I am still glad I got the original, even though I like this one's sword.
Really really weird on some of TTs business decisions with regards to PG. Anyway, thanks and congrats you already got him. Mine is still, well stuck.........
