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 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.

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

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

Thease arn't the voyagers you know, these are deluxe versions and I think they are unique to this two pack.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
