Ok, so after playing around with the 3 TLK figures I got Saturday, I have some thoughts of my own to add to Will's review.
First, and most importantly, both voyagers are in my running for Figure of the Year. They are both that good, and the only contender at this point to them is MP Artfire.
Now, we'll start with Hound first, because it's easier. This mold blows the AoE one out of the water. the wheel to feet transformation is brilliant, and the legs overall are great. The fender flipping, the wheel gears, the giant utility belt, it is all brilliant and lots of fun. This Hound is also more his size in comparison to the others. He actually looks like the bulkhead he is supposed to be. The upper body is also far better. The arms on the AoE one were wonky, but this one nails it. The arms the great, the sculpting is great, and there is just enough paint to make the detailing work. The head sculpt is really good too, though its a tossup between the 2 figures over which is better. The TLK one is a lot bigger though, so i like it more. Oh and the removable helmet, nice touch.
The only place he is really lacking is in the weapons. Come on, where is the Gatling gun!
Transformation is great too. It is not finnicky, it is fairly straightforward while still being fairly complex in movement, and the altmode looks great with the weapons wrack installed.
Really great figure, highly recommended.
Now, for the Megatrons. The voyager is overall the "better" figure, but I find the leader to be the more "fun" figure.
the voyager in incredibly intuitive. the transformation is insane and cool and is where this figure to me really stands out. There is nothing finnicky or panicky about this figure's moves. It shifts modes like a RotF figure, it is that good. The robot mode looks awesome, the headsculpt is amazing, and the only bad thing i have to say about the figure is the smallish cannon and a wish for a wrist swivel. that is it. The alt mode is brilliant too, and I love how both figures don't really have a "jet under robot" style. They are a lot like Leader Generations Jetfire: the robot is there, but it is not obvious, and it really blends in with the rest of the jet mode.
The leader is huge man, huge! And heavy! I love the flame effects, the face plate gimmick, and the giant kibble free jet mode. The jet mode may be the best alt mode of any movie jet figure. the robot mode is really cool too, but the transformation is just ever so slightly more nickpicky than the voyager, and the leader's arms are a bit wonky, but it can pull some awesome poses. And I love the giant cannon. I will be able to post some pictures hopefully wednesday so I can show off these figures, because they are both well worth having.
My final verdict: voyager is the best overall figure, leader is the more fun figure overall, both are worth their price and owning. And you should get Hound too. This is the fat ballerina we have been waiting for!
