Australia Toy Fair 2012 Images: Transformers Prime RID Voyagers Bulkhead & Starscream, and Cyberverse Playsets In-Package

Those Voyager figures would be decent(not great, but just decent) if they just had some normal weapons. I don't really understand why Transformers need all these gimmicks anyway. You would think that a vehicle that turns into a robot toy would be enough of a gimmick for the kids these days.

If there has to be a gimmick, I prefer it to be on the weapon, that way it can easily be tossed aside and ignored.

I think the Starscream looks pretty good. I hope he fits in well size-wise with the rest of the crew.

The Bulkhead doesn't look quite as bad as the first pictures made it out to be, but I still fail to understand why they scrapped the superior FE version.

Glad I got the FE version, though.

That's true, but I can't help but feel like a decent percentage of the cost is going into these over-sized weapons. I assume that any engineering expenses that go into the weapons, is money that's not going into the robot engineering.

FE Deluxe Starscream > RID Voyager Starscream.

I also find this continuation of Mech Tech weapons to be disappointing at the least, and flat out criminal at the most with Japan getting Micron partners for their weapons. But I did discover that the gun for Alternity Prime provided in the TFC Gear of War 2 pack - with the LED pack attached - works very well for Voyager class Optimus. Some modifications have to be made, namely cutting off the twig of a handgrip, but Prime looks much tougher with a proper weapon.

as for the weapons, I actually like Megatron's. Optimus's is awful. Starscream's could be worse from what I've seen. I'd probably like them if they locked in both modes with out modifying them.

I love Starscream's colors, and that he doesn't have a pointy butt anymore, plus more stable feet. Probably the only voyager I will buy. Maybe Bulkhead.

Really want Cyberverse Knock Out with big Drill

Also Optimus Maximus seems to get worse every time I look at it

Why the hell can't Hasbro make Starscream's crest RED?

Yay, another Starscream. Can't say I exactly care for this series, but I do love Starscream. So, gonna have to buy one. Also, I think it's pretty neat-o.

Starscream looks so natural with that gun sitting on top of him.
