This toy has been found in the US for a few weeks now but has yet to reach saturation. And while there are several video reviews out there for this bad boy, there are several aspects of his that I wanted to address since they took me a bit by surprise.
Firstly, people have been saying from day one that he was a BIG voyager. But I was always curious about how big he really was, since he is often paired up with Studio Series Optimus, who is the smallest voyager Optimus Prime figure we have ever gotten so far (for any line). Well it turns out he is indeed big. He dwarfs the previous Revenge of the Fallen Megatron mold, as well as any voyager movie mold I paired him with. He is even a head taller than Power of the Primes Hun Gurrr who is himself a decently sized voyager (as are any voyagers from the Prime Wars Trilogy).
So that's a major plus. He does look better than the previous ROTF voyager not only thanks to the lack of a backpack but also since he can pose better and stand more upright. His left "hand" is actually split so the elongated fingers don't have to be oriented the same way all the time.
Also, while he does not have the great paint job of the movie the best version (which is next to him in the previous images) his paint job is serviceable. I like the highlights they make in a gunmetal grey as well as the gold on the chest. The legs are beautifully painted too. Basically, it looks good... from the front.
And that is where the main problem lies. This toy being so big comes at the cost of him being hollow. Now that transformation scheme can work and it has given us some incredible transformations before, like Prime First Edition Bulkhead. But here it is quite easy to see thanks to the gaping hole on his side.
The other problem with viewing from he side is the head. He seems to have no neck if you lay the head flat against the body but while you can stretch it up, it ends up looking odd at the sides.
He also ends up feeling very light. Now that is partly due to some of the plastic used. I hear the expression "feels like a KO" thrown around a lot and most of the time, it is undeserving. This figure as a whole does not feel like a KO (a lot of work went into this guy), but some of the plastic used is the very rigid yet light plastic we find on cheap KOs (like the
oversized Prime Abominus toys). It isn't used a lot, but we can see it mainly on the biceps with the big mushroom peg. It's the kind of plastic that leaves a big seam to show the separate mold halves.
Speaking of pegs an biceps, there is one aspect of this toy that is really odd and it's the right shoulder joint. Now most toys have the bicep move along the shoulder, but here the shoulder separates in half so you end up seeing the toy's innards when moving the shoulder for any pose you might want to do. Only happens on the right side with the left side being more traditional.
My other gripe is the feet, they are just a mess. Both the right and left side have some obvious kibble hanging there. The panels do not look at all like the are a part of the foot, they just look like there was nowhere else to put them, which is too bad because there could have been some decent integration if they could peg and be more flush with the rest of the foot.
The Transformation to alt mode is more complex than I would have imagined for a toy which just looks like a pile of scrap on alt mode. I would have called the transformation fun if pieces didn't easily pop off. The reverse kneecaps (so in the back of the leg) come off easily. So much so that I lost one of them and have been doing this whole review with only one of them. Bet you didn't notice! There is also an issue with the panels that cover the thighs. They hold fine but because the movable hinge they are stuck to offers ridiculous resistance, they will also pop off when transforming.
In alt mode, the toy is fine. It looks incredibly different from the voyager. It has a completely different shape where instead of being on the wide side, it is on the long side, closer to the recent live action
Batmobile. Definitely sleeker than before. There are no wings of any kind, which I am told is not accurate to what we see in the film and that turns out to be true.
But honestly, I don't care. The robot mode is far more iconic to the film than the alt mode is, and if I had to freeze frame a clip just to make sure it was inaccurate I think its safe to say that it is not something I would have known off hand. My bigger issue is the giant claw hand sticks out in the back so it looks like this tank has a bad case of hemorrhoids. I will say that the original ROTF voyager Megatron mold rolls much better than this one. Maybe I have the treads misaligned but mine does not roll at all. In the end, I like this sleeker tank and I really like those twin guns it has at the side.
I do like this toy even though I never liked the alt mode but I do wish pieces did not fall off. The robot mode is awesome enough, just don't turn it to the side.
You know if the TRU in the US had selection anywhere like this, they probably wouldn't be going bankrupt.
