For those who are still looking for Skyquake Powerizer. Its now available @ TRU.com http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... d=22130216

Thanks for the info but there are two issues:
1. It is on the website but it is not available for on-line purchase, it says available at stores. I hate that it says "Ships Free with a purchase of $79 or more!" That must be generic to the website and they don't bother to take it off even if it isn't available on-line. Does this mean it will come to the stores? I hope so.
2. It is listed as a powerizer. But it really isn't, it is only a $20 voyager. I hate it when TRU mislabels these. They labeled a voyager at $30 once in the store. I tried to tell them. When they wouldn't listen I went and bought the same toy for $20 from Target.
PS Awesome figure (I have Dreadwing), but one big drawback, the shoulder pads look funny. They should really be connected to the arms or hidden better.

dread wing is cool problem here is never got any skyquakes and i was checking like crazy-actually want i need is a megatron but thats behind blaster grimlock and blitzwing right now

They have been showing up in stores not too long ago and TRU is charging 29.99. Which they do for all voyager Prime RID figures. TRU has always charged a higher price for Prime voyager RID figures because of that powerizer label. Even though Hasbro decided against using the label Powerizer, Skyquake is still in that line. Just like the deluxe figures were originally called Revealers even though Hasbro dropped the name.

When I posted this it was available to purchase online (ship to home). Good luck hunting!

i really hate this insane issue with finding these figuers it shouldn't be this hard anymore -so why is it there must be something seriously wrong somewhere

TRU.COM took down the item

Grabbed mine off shelf @TRU a couple weeks ago; only 1 have seen since release.
Good luck to those looking!

Oh. No kidding. That makes sense, they do sell out in no time. Sorry about that.

That is really too bad. I checked today and the Beast Hunter Voyagers are 25.99 at TRU in my location, San Francisco Bay Area. After my above experience I went back a few weeks later and the voyager prices were back to normal, but that was for a Generations voyagers, I don't remember seeing RID voyagers. So, the RIDs are missed labeled in a sense, and overpriced? Because I have seen the Powerizers and they are bigger than a voyager.

^ fix'd

Powerizers are just Hasbro's label for PRiD Voyagers, due to the (ASTOUNDINGLY POOR) light up weapons gimmick.

Weaponizers are the Leader-class-ish size figures with the spinning pop-out minigun gimmick. There are only two molds, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Optimus was subsequently remolded into Platinum Ultra Magnus and repainted in green for the Predacons Rising line. Bumblebee is being remolded and repainted to (presumably) remove the weapons gimmick in favor of a talking gimmick for the Predacons Rising line.

Wow! Thank you for the clarification. I just look dumber and dumber with each post that I do in this topic. That Weaponizer and Powerizer mistake on my part is pretty funny. I just like a good figure and I usually ignore things like Mech Tech, Poweriser, or Weaponizer. That Powerizer title makes sense with the light up weapons. But they are pretty stupid, I want a normal looking weapon without having to put a rubber band on it or something to make it stay in place. And they charge more for that! Give me a $20 voyager without a dumb weapon please.

To be fair "they" (Hasbro) don't charge more for that. It's just TRU and their bullshittery.

My real issue with the Powerizer weapons is that they're so crap. Hasbro has made LED weapons before, and they've worked quite well. Look at the G2 Laser Cycles/Rods for example. And as a contemporary example, Gekisomaru's super mode helmet has the most striking LED-lightpiping I've EVER SEEN (seriously, if you haven't watched that review of it that got posted the other day, you should do so, it's BEAUTIFUL).

I had been looking for this guy at every TRU and TJ maxx I went to with no luck. Then I found the TRU.com page but it wasn't in stock. a few days later I checked the page again and BOOM they had him!!! He got here yesterday. Now, to start looking for his brother...

I had a chance to get one at TRU but I passed on it. I refuse to pay $30 for a Voyager.
