Have the wave 2 ROTF Voyagers been spotted yet?

I was in Tesco, Hatfield this morning and they had Megatron. Stratosphere & Mixmaster on display. There was only one of each, but this would seem to tally with the US wave/case asssortment.

It was certainly the first time I'd seen them.

No photo's this time, my battery was dead :oops:

I hate facebook! People I know keep finding me despite the fact I didn't use my real name or details!

It's annoying! I want all these people to die horrible deaths, not pretend to be my friends!

That's how I feel about MySpace.

I received my ordered copies of the AllSpark Almanac and the Arival TPB yesterday and I have to say awesome on both.

See, I just don't get how it can suck people in the way it does. What can you actually do on it? I'm not totally numb to the social wonders of the internet but I know there are so many better medium with which to interact with other people, like the forum we're on right now.

Being a uni student I find it great for organising parties and events ahead of time, because there's no way you can get everyone you want to talk to about it in one place at one time.

It's also a good way to meet the new blood that are moving up!

I joined last year the night before I moved to uni, been using it religiously ever since! Very handy little tool, though I'm sick of the friggin applications on it -_-

So I've been playing with Strafe and looking at some other moulds to repaint into the other Technobots and I think I've got a full set together. I'm happy to sacrifice my Universe Vector Prime to the cause for Scattorshot, terrible release of a great mould. Similarly my 07 Clocker won't be missed if he gets repainted as Lightspeed since there are much nicer releases of that mould to be had. I've just picked up the 3 Worlds set today and with some drills to replace his missiles Scattorshot will make a nice Nosecone and Ransack a great Afterburner. The set seemed plentiful in Sainsburys today so I can easily replace these guys for my Cybertron shelf.

I'm not totally happy with Vector Prime and Ransack, VP because of the clockwork mould detail going against the high tech asthetic and Ransack because he throws off an otherwise pretty well matched set of alt mode scale, although I can't think of a smaller bikeformer that would fit the bill. Counterpunch suggested E Jetfire for Scattorshot, unfortunately that's always been a hard to find and pricy mould over here thanks to Hasbro's wonderful distribution of that line.

Any comments or suggestions welcome, especially thoughts on where I could salvage a good pair of drills from.

The Tesco(extra) in Hatfield had about 30(!) of the Mini-con 10pks in stock. These were part of a whole isle dedicated to a half-price toys promotion, there was nothing else TF wise tho'.

With the recent website re-stock, it would seem that the bulk of the stock is now out there

You think the drills of Jumpstarters might fit the bill?
Or maybe Beast Wars Transmetals Scavenger:

I think his drills are pretty cool well I think the whole toy is pretty cool, don't understand why it ended up as a shelfwarmer.
