Teaser Image of Transformers Voyager Seaspray

SIIIIICK!!! I want one. NOW!!

Snap! repaint this bad boy Green to be the W.H.A.L.E. hovercraft~!!!
Then just need a tiny 3rd party Spike/Sparkplug painted up to be Cutter...!
G.I. WIN~!!

So far this looks pretty good, but i'm waiting til we can get a better look at his face.

I like this,it looks good and the fact it can carry legend figures is nice,now I just need to get some legend figures.

=\ I don't like it.

I realize he's not supposed to be wimpy, he's a giant alien robot of death (much like the rest of his race), but this is too much of an extreme in the other direction.

And that packaging...ugh. It gets worse with each new view. Blargh.

But, this pretty much confirms that Universe is returning.

With that "catch all" packaging and lack of ROTF aesthetic on his robot mode, plus he's a character we haven't seen decades, it just screams "UNIVERSE 3.0 IS HERE!"

And I'm all for Universe returning, no problem with that, but dang...

Am I the only one who would prefer a legends class Universe Seaspray just like Cosmos,Brawn,Beachcomber etc

I'd like to see a better shot. I've always been a sucker for TFs that can have other TFs ride on them.

I think it looks rubbish.

I like the mold of this fig but I think I would rather wait and see the TakaraTomy paint job this will get. Made the mistake of not doing that with Powerglide and Silverbolt last time. Also, is it a Voyager? It looks more like an Ultra to me.

ooouhh, not bad!

Didicos wrote:Am I the only one who would prefer a legends class Universe Seaspray just like Cosmos,Brawn,Beachcomber etc

I wouldn't mind a Scout Class version of him. The Legends just leave a bit too much to be desired.

But this Voyager is just a tad too much, especially when it looks like "Ahnold" Schwarzenrobot.

How do you go from small, big hearted Seaspray to this? It's astounding.

See, I didn't care for the 2.0 upsize on Powerglide, but at least it made sense, he's supposed to be friggin' immense.

This is one thing I like about the Bayverse...their characters are to scale (in film!) and they don't go to outrageous lengths to be something they're not. Prime's a 32 foot robot who compacts into a long nose semi. G1 Seaspray was a massive hovercraft, but changed into a robot standing a little over 12 feet tall. It doesn't make sense! And it never has.

still a pass, need to him outta the package before i make mah decision.

To me, Sea Spray looks like a hybrid of RotF and Universe lines, not as blocky as Universe/Classics, but much more traditional than the on-screen movie figures. While this is an original figure, the look and feel reminds me of the RotF Hoist repaint. I guess a mix of design styles makes sense since these figures basically bridge the two movies. Perhaps I'll be more excited about this figure when we get clearer pictures-or the Takara paint job.

The generic packaging does nothing for me.

I realy like this fig. packagings looking a lil lame, but I like the look and feel of this guy a lot.... but not as seaspray. Other then his vehicle mode, nothing about this says seaspray to me.

pre-beastwars depth charge? maybe. some new origional character? yar, definatly woulda been cool, but g1 seaspray? not realy

is it a rotf figure or universe ?

I like it but I really want to see the hands in more detail. I can't tell if they're standard 5mm holes or the ever annoying "dynamic" hand poses the Movie stuff has.

Looks promising but why is the packaging the same as the new sized BB.. too yellow..

This is very exciting. I am glad to see the return of the Universe look. G1 goodness. I can't wait to see clearer pics!

To me it looks...ok. I'd have to see him posed and transformed to make a better call than that. I'm not wowed and I'm pretty worn on the movie look. Having said that, my judgement is biased. I'd rather have seen a more faithful representation of the G1 character personally. The size doesn't irk me, I was just hoping for something more along the lines of Universe Powerglide. Like I said, not bad. Just not "Wow!" yet.

I know a lot of people want him to look G1, but as far as I'm concerned, the less he resembles that bumbling, gargling useless character who's sole use was to become a mermaid in one episode for no reason, the better, so this is looking pretty snazzy to me.

I was familiar with G2 Seaspray as a toy and not a charactor. and even back then I had alot of complaints with it. (like it only having 1 foot) so the more i see this one the more hyped up i get. i havnt been buying many transformers lately but this is definately one that im going to look at quite closely.

i really do like the design and the capability for transport. and really as long as most of him is blue and he has yellow shoulders (which he does) then the paintjob works for me

on the downside. those missiles look rather tacky and im afraid that his transformation will be TOO simple

Voyager class? Pretty cool. Have to see more pics.

Who cares about the packages? Makes it easier to throw away if it's ugly.

The toy looks pretty cool. I like the look of the alt mode. The functionality of being able to carry a Scout class figure is neat.

From what I've gathered, this is the new "continued" movie style packaging post-ROTF. I think Sea Spray is a new off screen character. I could be wrong. We'll know for sure in 13 days after toy fair.

I am pretty excited about this. I'd like to see a picture with closer detail but for now I'm on board. I wish this was the new Universe line though rather than another Rotf figure.

Looks like a fine figure, however, it does not make for a Classics Seaspray.

Compare this with G1 Seaspray, and take off Nostalgia Filters. Which one's better?

Honestly, if we got something like G1 Seaspray today, people would be darn near up in arms.

If you don't think it makes a good Seaspray, then simply don't call it that! Call it Waterlog, or Oceanglide, or Storm Surge, or Splashdown, or Power Run, or Strikedown, or Waver, or Shortround, or darn near anything else like that. It looks like it'll be a decent figure, so don't be holding G1 nostalgia against it the way most did with Powerglide.

And for the record, I'm a HUGE G1 fan. I just don't let it get in the way of judging a figure on its own merits.

I will get this figure. I may not call him Seaspray though (that's reserved for the blue/yellow repaint). I think I'll call him Carrack

13 days? O_o...yes!

I think I can wait that long. lol

Agreed. Looks like a good hybrid of RORF and Classics. Which I like.

Though I'll definitely wait for the yellow and blue repaint that's inevitably going to be released.

Seems Hasbro is losing the ROTF label in favor of a more general line that can include many things. I bet we'll see more AEC repaints in this line. Like with the 07 Movie.

C'mon Hasbro, Ultra class Warpath!

You know we want it!!!!

I'm hoping its actually not a RoTF figure. I'd like it to be a Universe figure instead. I don't see that point of issuing figures that weren't in the movie. But, I gotta say if they are giving Seaspray this kind of treatment, I'd really like to see a Cosmos redeux!

Counterpunch wrote:Looks like a fine figure, however, it does not make for a Classics Seaspray.

No, but just like Powerglide, he looks pretty good in an Alternators/MP display.

I like! I was ambivalent about picking one up for myself... until I saw he can carry other figures. I'm sold!

Didicos wrote:Am I the only one who would prefer a legends class Universe Seaspray just like Cosmos,Brawn,Beachcomber etc

Aye! That's what I was hoping for. This really doesn't look or remind me of Seaspray.

Looks good for design wise. But will wait for either Hasbro or Takara to redeco in 'cartoon accurate' yellow instead of the white. Since they've dedecoed every other Ultra in U2.0, bet we see this redone as either Shortround or Stormsurge for a Decepticon version.

Counterpunch wrote:Looks like a fine figure, however, it does not make for a Classics Seaspray.

Agreed, though I don't feel it's particularly movie-like either. An interesting piece anyways.

looks awesome & hes packaged in robot mode, a double win.

kinda blocky and it doesnt look that possible

meh probably getting him if not i'll wait for the G1 repaint IF theres gonna be one

Looks alright but I'm more interested in the Bruticus

I agree, but with Powerglide, I held his ginormous blob body and head with his tiny arms and floppy legs against him, not G1 nostalgia!

No, we wouldn’t.

Reference Legends Brawn, Beachcomber, Warpath, or Wheelie for confirmation that small, simple homages to small simple G1 characters is exactly what we want.

I like the look of him. He has the blocky design of the bots from Energon.
Just hope he's not meant to be in the ROTF line though, the aesthetic doesn't match up.

Except ALL of those you quoted have MUCH better robot modes than G1 Seaspray.

I did not mean that if a figure that homaged G1 Seaspray was released in Legends size, I meant if G1 Seaspray had never been invented, and we got that figure today, it would be an uproar. No articulation except at the shoulders, legs nothing but skinny sticks, one solid foot, undefined arms, no real paint apps, seemingly random colors - people WOULD be upset.

G1 Wheelie has a better robot mode than Seaspray? G1 Warpath has essentially the same transformation as Seaspray. Brawn is just a terrible looking G1 figure.

While having new Legends figures improving on the original awful Minibots is cool, for me there's no nostalgia tying a specific homage to a specific size class. If they think they can do a badass Seaspray at Voyager size, let em do it. I was pretty happy with Powerglide overall (except the colors and that defect that kept the arms from locking to the engines).

You referenced the LEGENDS version. I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying.

Imagine G1 Seaspray never came out.

Imagine the current Legends Wheelie, Warpath, Brawn, and Cosmos came out as they really did.

Then imagine G1 Seaspray was released as a Legends class.

People would be pissed. THAT is the point I'm making.

If you ignore that the upcoming Voyager class is supposed to be a G1 minibot, it actually looks like a pretty darn good figure. And thus I really don't get why people would refuse to get it just because "it isn't Seaspray".

WOW.. I like that.
