Dammit, I have a bad habit of posting stories at the exact same time as Getterdragun, this is like the fifth time this has happened...

I'll delete my story since you came first, but I'll move the hosted pics into your story, so it won't completely go to waste.

EDIT: Ok, you beat me to that to. :|

I just might have to get this and a select few.

So like I wrote in the other exact same thread...

I like that these are positioned instead of just standing.

Two packs are normaly cheaper so if this does come stateside, I'll get this over the regular figures as these are two of the few figures I intend on getting.

Yeah that would be a great idea but from what I heard is that it'll be the battle damage versions. Me on the other hand won't buy them unless they release them before the others like a premire pack.

it is like the classics 2-pack, 2 deluxe moulds and a dvd is included.

I wonder what is on the dvd?

So are those voyagers or deluxes?

The premier episode, "Transform and Roll out" and of cause adverts for the toys.

If only they didn't come with the "ZOMG BATTLE DAMAGE" paint apps.

Ah well, maybe if it's cheaper than Prime and Megatron single packs I may pick it up.

Actually I think these are the Voyagers.

I might pick this up and Prowl, Ratchet, maybe a couple other guys and I’ll be done with this line.

Why, oh why, do they have to put fuglyass "battle damage" on these otherwise supremely awesome toys?

Now I'm questioning getting them at all...

They're both deluxes. If folks want to claim otherwise that's their priveledge.

And that Voyager Prime looks nothing like the one in this box. And this isn't Voyager Megatron Nekoman. The cannon is completely different from the one we saw not a week ago. Not to mention that both of them are barely the height of a CD.

That's old, can't you see the difference?
The colorfull one is pre earth deluxe Prime, the right one is the Voyager.
The Prime in this twopack is a retool and redecko of pre earth Prime you can clearly see it.

Also that twopack Megatron is a simplified version, just look at it, it has less articulation, different hands and a different head!

Pass...
I light the grey Megs but white and bigger is better
Prime is just a retool of deluxe
DVD will probably be a "lost episode" featuring Meltdown
pass
I'll get the Voyagers
Re: First Pics of Animated Optimus and Megatron Two-Pack! (608612)

Hm, looks like the corrector has been corrected, thanks for pointing that out guys. It really did take me a minute to notice. Sorry.

Don't worry we thought that at first too, till others did the same as we did and f our heads and told us what to think :P

Posted by Menbailee on January 19th, 2008 @ 1:34pm CST
Wow! If these cost as much as one voyager, they clearly get my dollar. If they're more, maybe not, since we do have two superior voyagers. Still, Megs looks good, in some ways more threatening than his larger counterpart. I sure hope Hasbro doesn't inundate us with repaints with this line, since the first run of each toy looks great. Er, battle damage/Venom aside.

figures are starting getting a like to me but the battle damaged looks like carp it doesnt looke like battle damaged looks like flame damaged an alien symbiote from spiderman series is trying to bond to megatron and prime looks weird with that type of detail orginals i like but not this package deal.

Wonder what comes on the DVD...

Nice two pack, If it gets a mass release I'll probably nab it over the two individual figures.

NO!! It's not weird-- I'm an absolute fan of the Classics line, but for what these are, they're AWESOME!!

If people will look past what they're used to (whatever they've been collecting), what they expected, and what they wanted, they'll see that these are great figures.

Even though I may not go completest with this line, every time I see 'em, I'm more and more excited to get them into my collection.

Who the hell is coming up with this stuff?
Who decided that to show Battle Damage, theyd all be getting tribal tattoos?
Battle Damaged Jazz (movie version) at least had some realistic damage not just a freakin tattoo.

Hasbro will never do actual "Battle Damage", because that would be changing the mold completely. And if you just want a Battle-Damaged Paint Job, I think that's pointless because it'll just look like a charcoaled color transformer.

And Jazz was a pointless Battle Damaged Figure. Like only half of his body even had battle damage.

In fairness, he does have that giant gun that nearly makes him topple over.

hmmm. why does this seem so familiar: dvd, optimus and megs. i just hope this isnt an exclusive.

Posted by Overcracker on January 19th, 2008 @ 10:39pm CST
O.k, yes, these battle damaged figures are Deluxes.

The last pic there is Voyager Cybertron Mode Megs packaged in vehicle mode. Clearly a different toy.

You can tell by comparing Megatron's Cannon. From the two pack and then from the Cybertronian jet mode in the last pic. They are markedly different.

So from this we learn that Prime and Megs are getting 3 figures in this line.

The Deluxe Cybertronian Mode, This Deluxe Earth mode, and finally the Voyager class Earth Mode for Prime.


And Megs apparently gets a Deluxe Cybertronian Mode, and a voyager Cybertronian mode. And we have yet to see a Deluxe or Voyager Earth mode for him.


Back on topic though. Like everybody said the Symbiote battle damage there is kind of weird. But I'm still going to pass, and get the Voyager versions of these guys. Hopefully Meg's voyager earth mode is as cool as his Animated model show him to be.

Asides from battle damage, the prime looks different than the satnd alone Voyager prime, hes missing the big gun seen on the back of the prototype

i just realized that id' be very mad actually if the black tatooed optimus was the voyager. For the voyager to be any good it will need the following:

fold out axe with popout blue/ion blades like on the show

his grappler arms

his water cannon

retractable face mouth



Now thats a prime toy with attention to detail, and show accuracy that I would buy.

The Voyager has the axe. (Pop out blades, unknown.)
Grappler arms, unknown.
Cannon, yes.
Retractable face cover, yes.

:shock:

If these are indeed deluxe size, then I will definitely pick this up. The only Animatd figures that interest me are the Primes and Megatrons. And I'm such a sucker for 2 packs of miniaturized leaders, though I feel that the Cybertronian Prime would have been more appropriate for this particular set so we could have a Cybertron 2 pack and an Earth 2 pack.
