A lot of Videogames have some sort of Generic faction logo or Hasmat logo - I'd have suggested some other shape (Maltese crosses can be tricky too though they caused Mattel some bother with He Man having one of those).

But an Autobot logo with some sort of pattern or even just a Knife (implying he's a commando) underneath would work too - something like the Terran Empire logo or The logo on Calcar.

I actually really like the idea of Transformers having personal logos so I'd approve of that. leaving the area blank makes him very bland - Blue wrecker logos would have worked too (since he's pretty obviously really supposed to be Bulkhead anyway).

I don't think i'll be rushing to buy Hound - I'd prefer a premium deco version (or Japanese version) and that might be a bit more visually interesting looking.

When you mention 35 years and at it again, I think that's implying G1. But I'll ignore now. No point. I love transformers too much to care good day guys and sorry

We do not know when stores will be getting the second wave of Transformers: The last Knight voyagers yet but it should be soon since more and more in hand images are coming our way. A new slew of high quality images have been found on Weibo (the specific username with chinese characters can be found on the images below). these images include shots of the toy at all angles so you can see where the jet mode kibble ends up in robot mode and where the robot mode kibble ends up in alt mode (with a nice shot of under the jet). You will also see a cool fight scene between the new voyager Optimus Prime and see how perfectly they scale with one another. Also, just to be clear, you will notice that there is no facemask gimmick on the voyager figure since that feature only exists on the leader figure.

I think the point was that G1 Ratchet also had his Red crosses cause some issues too - so same thing again 30+ years later.

Ratchet was medically a problem. Movie 1 he had a laser point at bee,he guides ironhide's canon to the window of Sams house and says "yeah yeah yeah" when ironhide asks to take out the parents, when bees legs blew off sam called him nowhere to be seen, also he's not carrying jazz which just seems like he didn't try and gave up. Movie 2 particularly in the desert he just watches jetfire kill himself without even offering to help not to mention when prime dies his first thought is let's go off world. Movie 3 again he's more interested in shooting things up.

Hound and ratchet are looking to be similar in that they don't care about being an actual medic and are more interested in shooting things up.

What was wrong with the laser pointer it was a medical tool?

Starscram and Brawl were attacking the group at that point I don't think Ratchet had time to check on Bee and Ironhide is carrying Jazz because he is the stronger of the two and it's obvious he tried because Ironhide himself said "We couldn't save him" so that means he obviously tried plus it seems obvious Megatron instantly killed Jazz since he is never shown moving around and he looks pretty dead dangling in Mega's hands lifelessly.

Jetfire chose to kill himself that was his own damn choice he wanted to sacrifice himself plus Scroponok did quite the number on Jetfire so he was probably dying you know from having more then his side being destroyed.

When did Ratchet show interest in shooting things up in DOTM?

Never that's when

The pointer did nothing.

Ratchet actively runs and abandons jazz to face megatron alone. Before that ironhide and jazz are taking on brawl just after bee had his legs blown off.

A medic wouldn't allow that even without a look at jetfire or attempting to save him.

In DOTM in Chicago, in ROTF in the desert and his clear lack of duties in the first movie attacking brawl instead of helping bee and wanting the parents killed. He's a bad character as a medic. If they called him hound it would've made more sense because he didn't act like ratchet.

The pointer did nothing.

Except for indicating to us, the audience, where the damage to Bee was located, which is all that it was supposed to do.

Yeah, I dont know why this is being revisited or put back in question all of a sudden.

*cut- lots of pics*

Awesome photos. Voyager Megs is such a tidy looking figure. Can't wait to have him face my Optimus Prime.

[-Kanrabat-]

Damn that Megatron is SEXY!

[Kurona]

The exposed yellow face thing really makes it look like he's a LOTR orc wearing a helmet bit too organic looking for my liking.
Still, faces have always been the weakest part of the movie toys to me, and the rest of the figure looks awesome.

[President-prime]

Prob will wait for the leaderclass.

Jazz ordered everyone to fall back Jazz:"It's Megatron fall back!" like with Jetfire Jazz chose to face Megatron alone that's why it cuts to Lennox yelling to fallback while looking in the direction Jazz was in because he was talking to Jazz specifically Jazz sacrificed himself even many of his toy bios mention this because that was the point.

Jetfire also sacrificed his life on purpose and he would of anyways because he literally says "In all my Decepticon life I've never done a thing worth doing until now" like the dude is wanting to commit suicide to save the world let him do that and also don't compare things to real life because it's a movie things happen as the plot wills it like giant robots being a thing.

Uhhh Ratchet did not have anytime to check up on Bee because I don't know there's a group of Decepticons trying to kill them all and steal the Allspark Bumblebee's state was not a priority and for all we know attaching Bee's legs would probably take awhile and say Brawl shoots Ratchet in the back while trying to help Bee then the medic's dead great job!

Ratchet was trying to get Hide to stop aiming at the parents with the "yeah yeah yeah" being what some people do sometimes in an conversation for example.

Dude 1: "I took down Megatron myself!"

Dude 2: "Yeah yeah sure"

Not going to argue anymore because were getting off topic and also your wrong and I don't mean in "my opinion" your wrong I mean factually your wrong according to the on screen events of the movies so I'm backing away because you probably won't change your mind.

I know, right? It's like getting mad at a flashlight for its inability to do anything other point a light at something.

Or like getting into a heated discussion about a character from a movie on a thread about the toyline for a different movie that does not feature said character
(Seriously, please take this to PMs or the appropriate thread)

[Carnivius_Prime]

Yes, let's stop arguing and just enjoy those fresh new lovely Voyager Megatron photos. Real nice to see whether we choose the voyager, the leader or both we're getting some fine looking Megatron here.

Jazz ran to fight megatron alone as hothead, in revenge of fallen he was fighting along side with someone maybe it was ironhide but Rachel can't save bots if they don't want to be saved jetfire he scaraficed himself his life to merge with Optimus give him more power and make him stronger fight against fallen and megatron same time,.

Ratchet first movie they added him wanting kill parents annoying they are yes would I want to kill them if I was autobot you bet I would but ratchet and few other bots in first movie was givin some comedy scenes dog peeing on ironhide foot wanting kill little dog, prime saying my bad for knocking over statue thing in back yard, freanzy giving middle finger, bumblebee wanting to shoot sector seven after they captured him and set him free in dam in case they try anything to bumblebee again,.

These are same transformers but with different personalitys look how Optimus prime acts in different cartoon series primal more about nature, cybertron prime more about cyber planet keys, armada prime keeping cybertron, kids, and mini cons safe from unicron and megatron,.

And medic can't be everywhere to save someone if there fighting battle if you need good example of it watch movie based on true story HACKSAW RIDGE one medic saving people and that same medic saw few of his solder friends being shot in head and killed in front of his face he was power less to do anything about medic could try save someone but then medic may get killed while doing so if ratchet ran away try heal bumblebee legs when they blown off decpeticon brawl tank would have shot at ratchet or even killed him, and blackout and starscream fighting ratchet he didn't have one decpticon to worry about he had three.

And where was prime while megatron was chasing after spike to get allspark in building leader wouldn't allow that unless leader was fighting other bots and trying save other friendly allies play battlefield as medic you will understand, but ratchet saying yeah yeah to ironhide rachet was for comedy reason,.

Some of these characters get worse treatment in cartoon show grimlock becoming smart jacking computron, wheelie tag along with annoying danial to find ultra Magnus father to give him birthday party

[Awesomepow]

Good News:
1.Finally got Legion Barricade and Tiny Turbo Changer Crosshairs.

Bad News:
1.The Blind Bag Codes aren't right.Mine was C(Lockdown)and got Crosshairs(F).
2.In TTurboC. Wave 1,I only need Lockdown and Blackout.

Crosshairs is a funny figure though.
Barricade has Smokescreen's head but in black lol!

@carnivius is this what you are trying to do

[Carnivius_Prime]

@carnivius is this what you are trying to do

yeah, but i don't have anywhere near the skills to match that one.
Though it seems to have differences from the screengrabs I have, like they've made the shoulders steel coloured when they're blue on the ref pics I used. And they've left the upper parts of the forearms blue when they're steel coloured on the screenshot and there should be flames on the shoulderpads. Amazing paintjob though. The detail and cleaniness...

You guys, please. You've already been asked by one staff member to either move this discussion elsewhere or stop, and now you're being asked by another. Please follow our instructions. We appreciate civil discussion, but we don't need off-topic, page long arguments. Thank you.

[gothsaurus]

It doesn't look half bad in either mode... but have to say, all the robots looking like knights in suits of armor doesn't sell it for me, being a long-time fan. I want my robots to look chunky and mech-like. I want to see vehicle parts in the alt mode... and identifiable colors and decos present in both modes. (Think Jazz and his #4). I can't believe they left out the back spoiler on Hot Rod, for instance.

Mind you, I think the movies are doing a much better job than earlier on, when everyone looked like a big mass of gray parts. Glad to see some color-coding going on with the newer characters. That's a good step.

SO yeah. I'll enjoy the break from collecting while Last Knight toys inundate the shelves for a summer. Will leave me more money for Takara's Titan series and Masterpieces.

Hope you guys enjoy the movie toys, tho!

[Amelie]

Both modes still look great. And, I know its going to sound silly, considering this is Megatron we're talking about...

... but there is just too much grey on this toy. It needs some red or different shades of grey at least.

I don't think it's grey, I think it's a really, really shiny, dark turquoise, but now, watching a review in some natural light, it might be a shade of blue-grey, great, now I'm confused

Just wait for TT's improved version, they've done one/several for each movie, and they are always gorgeous; I'm sure someone can corroborate this for me.
