EntertainmentEarth hooks us up with another stock image of up coming, yet to be released figures from Hasbro's 2010 line Hunt For The Decepticons. This images isn't unlike pictures we've seen in the past where the figures look ever so slightly out of their place. Here is the new image of Wave 1 Voyager Figures Seaspray, Payload, and Night Ops Ratchet.

If these are figures you're dying to get your grubby little hands on, cave in and click right here

I got my Seaspray a couple days ago. It's a great mold. The other two don't look very interesting or exciting. In fact, I'm stupefied that Hasbro is continuing to market that TF1 Voyager Ratchet mold. I mean, really? That horse is so dead that it crumbles when it touches the air.

I will pick up Payload and Ratchet as I don't expect TT will release these. Seaspray, however, I'll have to hold off on until a TT release.

Ill get Seaspray. Payload...why not ??? But I have no interest in another Ratchet. I have the 2007 original and the rescue repaint.

Sea Spray just does not look movie ish...I already have Long Haul(and CLEAR BLADES OF DEATH beat red ones because of....well red and yellow? Nahhhh), and I hate Ratchet's mold, not only is it inaccurate but it's actually TOO BIG, why couldn't they make that mistake with BoneCrusher or Blackout?

Well anyways...PASS.

Here's hoping for a better ratchet mold in TF3....

At the sametime i cant wait for this line and but then i need a break to catch up on some Encore stuff.

I can say the Sea Spray is definitley bought on site since i have his G1 counterpart and too me he looks great and about time for a new mold, instead of a repaint.

Payload is also bought on site only because he will be modded into either Landfill or Wideload not sure which yet, but he will be an Autobot.

Ratchet, i like the color scheme, but the mold is aweful for the voyager class and then hasbro degraded him again with the deluxe class version! Hopefully that Hasbro can create a better mold for Ratchet in TF3.

Got Sea Spray a long time ago already because he was cheap and quickly got bored with him. I don't understand the appeal. He's ok, but nothing exciting, really.

Way to go Hasbro. Another Ratchet repaint! HOW ORIGINAL :BANG_HEAD:

There is a whole lot of PASS in that picture. Though I seem to be one of the few people that actually likes the original TF1 Ratchet mold, Hasbro will be hard pressed to get another $20 out of me for it.

Payload just doesn't look very good to me at all. Yellow is not my favorite color.

Seaspray just doesn't appeal to me at all, frankly. Hovercraft just don't do it for me I guess.

My Seaspray is stuck at Canadian customs. :-(

It must be nice getting stuff many months in advance, while all of us in USA and Canada are edurring the arrival of new Transformers, but hey thanks for bragging about it :-x

I will be getting Seaspray. He looks like he will fit in with the Classics/Universe line nicely. When pictures of him came out I thought he was going to be part of the Generations line.

Seaspray's still a maybe for me, I haven't decided. I'd like to see it in person first. Payload, I would've bought if I didn't already hunt far and wide for a Long Haul. :BANG_HEAD:

It's a great repaint, but not really necessary for my collection. Ratchet is an obvious pass. The white and red repaint is enough for me. I even sold off my original green one because I'm more about G1 homages than a complete movie cast.

Sea-s-p RAY is pretty solid. He's got some great articulation, excellent detailing, including a fully textured pontoon, a nice transformation that pretty much eliminates all kibble (save for the shoulder jets, which IMO add a whole lot of fun to the character), and both wrist and hand mounting for his harpoon weapons. The use of translucent plastic, the detailed neck, and the flippers all add to the fun. I realized, though, when I got him home that I don't have any Scout class TF's to put in his docking bay, so Rumble and Frenzy are taking him out for a ski, instead.
