Official Hasbro Images for New and Upcoming Hunt for the Decepticons Voyagers

Man, I gotta say - the HFTD line is shaping up nicely. That blue Fallen is seriously gorgeous . Reminds me of Cryotek a bit. Banzaitron looks amazing as well, even though I know next to nothing about his character (aside from his brief stint in the IDW-verse). Even though the HTFD line is almost entirely repaints, it honestly has me more excited than the ROTF stuff. The packaging is a lot more attractive, and despite popular opinion, I tend to like the repaints even better than the originals. Payload had me drooling when I saw him at Target, and the new red Sideways repaint looks a thousand times better than the movie version. I also like that they're sort of injecting the G2 vibe into a lot of these, as well - whether that's been intentional or not.

Nice photos but I think it's sad that whoever took the promo photo for Banzaitron in bot mode didn't manage to get the sword in good shape. Banzaitron looks less intimidating with a wibbly wobbly sword.

Well I was right about Highbrow's faction. these will all make it to my shelves, I do love this aesthetic(if the scripts were half as good as the designs, the live action films would be unbeatable). And Banzai-Tron's sword isn't crooked, he just decided to use his kriss that day instead of his katana.

Only 2 of those are Repaints. and Banzaitron is a very good repaint.

So really only one is worthy of being "Meh-ed". That's not bad. 1 out of 4.

I might get 2 out of the 4 above. If I can find him, I'd much rather prefer Bludgeon over Banzai, and the only thing that entices me about Fallen is his new head, hands, and staff. Not worth $20 to me. I'm impressed with this new Prime, and he looks light years ahead of previous versions. Highbrow is the best out of the 4 to me, but his awkward arms in bot mode have me...sceptical.

Banzaitron I might get a hold of... I'm liking the colours, but'll have to see him in person.

Prime, eh. I've yet to buy into the ROTF line except for Classics-esque characters, and I won't start now. Besides, if I had to get him, Takara Buster Prime all the way.

Highbrow, undecided. That face sculpt is ugly as sin, but that alt mode is sweet as mama's shoo fly pie. Might have to suck it up for him.

OMFG IT'S A G2 THE FALLEN

Now let's see all the people who went to BotCon '10 scrambling for him :3

Would it help if I pointed out that Highbrow is a fairly blatant Gobot reference, in form if not in name?

Highbrow looks pretty cool, I may have to pick him up when he hits the shelves. It's just too bad they didn't make the propellers his hands or something like RotF HA Jazz or TFA Shockwave. I think it would have looked a little cooler that the weird hand thing he has going now.

Looks like the props can rotate forward to be used as weapons, like ROTF Incinerator should have been.

Hmm, good point. Alright, Highbrow's probably going in Classics as a generic Autobot, I suppose.
