Pics, or it didn't happen.

j/k. Seriously, though, I'd like to see a pic of that.

I (my son) have two. One is Predaking and one is Darksteel.

Predaking is really "meh". Not very well designed and all joints get loose easily. I have to keep on fixing them for my son.

Darksteel, on the other hand, is a good toy. Not Perfect. I especially don't like the lack of ability to lock the chest in place in robot mode. Other than this, he is fun to play with.

I forgot that I have Ultra Magnus. Just goes to show how high my opinion isn't! He's just meh. No guns and his forge is pitifully small. Shoulder articulation is more limited than I expected. He's just uninspiring to pose. His truck mode is ruined by the shoulder kibble sticking out the back.

You can lock the chest by swapping the chest plates around, like this:

Love that color scheme on Dark Steel!

By the way, the size within the class is very variable.
Here's two group shots, one in beast and one in robot mode.

Holy $#@%! 30 bucks!?! Did they increase prices somewhere?!
In Canada, regular voyager price is 29.99$+15% taxes. Roughly 35$ total.

Go Canada! We kick the scrap out of anyone elses' puny prices!

I think tgat honor goes to Australia 50 dollars for voyagers.

I have some of the Transformer Go! repaints/remolds which I like better. I am very fond of Decepticon Ratchet, Bukadora, and Gaidora. It's amazing what a rapint and/or remolded head will do for a toy.

I live in the uk and i would like to know when beast hunters voyager megatron and shockwave be released in uk stores as i currently have the rest id have to say my favourite is grimmwing as the colours really stand out for him and i like how even though his transformation is simple along with the other predacons in the range it works

Got them all, think they are all great!

Highlights of the line are without doubt Magnus and Shocky, with a special mention to Grimwing/Darksteel.

Sorry for the picture quality...



and for scale...

Something tells me your area has actually skipped the first few waves and/or is stuck on the second-last. Shockwave has yet to appear in my area and I know for a fact we dove right into Wave 3 with Grimwing and Ultra Magnus. Optimus Prime and Predaking were carried over in assortments, but Shockwave seems to be wave 3 only. Sharkticon Megatron is in the final wave and is out in the mainland. So yeah, seems we're both out of luck for Shockwave. Try looking online for him.

Sweet, thanks for sharing that!

You're welcome.

Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try tonight when I go back home, although I doubt I will have my son do that every time when he transforms it.

Oh, you can swap them and keep them there!

It doesn't change that much in either mode:

F**k you guys, f**k you.
Seriously, here I am trying to not buy Prime figures and bam, you show me these.

I'll have to get a few Predacons now, and it's all your fault.

Then again, why do I keep checking this thread out?
