The instructions of a mini bot nowadays are really hard to understand, so I don't think they would get any better with a Voyager triplechanger.
Anything in particular you don't like about the figure?(Besides the obvious Crayola colors and GEEWUN)

So if anyone can tell me if I can source them at a Home Depot, that’d be great

It’s overly fiddly to the point of irritation to try and get everything lined up for one mode, the latch’s that are supposed to hold him together in a vehicle mode just don’t line up or don’t take, and I just don’t see how this is better than the gen version we got a few years back which had character, and was way more concise with its transformation

1. Black plastic dye won't fix the BLACK HEAD AND BODY.
2. The plastic is not likely unpaintable.
3. You're talking out your aft with the "maybe black plastic wouldn't work QC wise" thing. Like, what kind of logic led you to that conclusion?

You're not alone. I'm quite happy with TR Megatron, so have no desire to replace him with Siege Megs.
Same here. TR Megs is a great figure.
I do want Selects Megatron, but he'll be Megaplex in my collection.
That Jetfire though.......

TR Megs is the weakest Megs in years, hampered by too many gimmicks (triple changer, headmaster) and crappy peeling stickers. Now, CW Megs, there's a Megs worth keeping over Siege Megs, though Siege is nice and cheaper than CW...

Nah, TR megs is pretty good and the gimmicks only make it a better toy. Small figure that can fit in planes cockpit, check. Can drive the tank, check. Can be eaten by Unicron, almost. Only two holes for weapons and none of the swiss cheese gimmicks of siege (more holes, less plastic content, higher price charged). Fitting alt modes despite being a Blitzwing used as Megatron with Megatrons plane tying into an episode even if it was cut out of it.
I think the Siege figures a little less blocky and the arm cannon looks better (back kibble is about on the same level and doesnt feel like megatron) but lazy/generic H tank alt mode.
CW Megs H tank only kind of works on the armada version, but then the toy pales against the orig armada one with its play features and then as a toy CW Megs really needs the 3rd party add ons to make it a passable display piece.

Was surprised to see this. I picked up one more each of Firedrive and Blowpipe just for the blast effects.
can confirm for meijer, just got the rescue patrol and a spare pteraxadon on clearance

Not that we don't trust you, but if anyone has photographic evidence we can news this.
