First Look at Miner Megatron and Possible Voyager Junkion

The Junkion has molded chains wrapped around its forearms that kinda make it look like a prisoner.

It also has little dual-blasters sticking out from its wrists, Wolverine-claw-style.

Whatever its name turns out to be, it looks like a pretty tough customer built for war.

Yeah, would really be best.

Mine's mismatched, didn't notice it until chuckdawg's video. Doesn't bother me enough to do an exchange EVEN IF there's one to be found at GameStop Canada where I ordered mine. Just not gonna happen at my only local brick & mortar, and it's out of stock online.

Looks like that Junkion is all twisted around. The truck front makes the chest while the legs and forearms are backwards. Looks like maybe a dump truck or a garbage truck?

I thought I was done with that Megatron mold, but a miner version using the alternate head they should have used on SG Megatron would sell me on it again.

I think that's right. Or put another way, the shot of the back should have the torso and shoulders flipped around, but everything else is right. They missed the torso twist and then moved the forearms to face the other way. I think a dump truck is the more likely alt mode based on the wheels, legs, and other visual cues, but that's just a guess.

For Legacy Shrapnel's gun/leg accessories: Like many others, I was living in blissful ignorance until this difference was pointed out. That is kind of subtle and I can see how it could be overlooked. It's a small enough thing that it can be ignored, unless you're the kind who is annoyed by any lack of symmetry.

Thing is, if you are one of the (seemingly many) unfortunates who have fallen victim to this mis-matching, what can you DO about it? Will Hasbro send out replacement parts if you contact them? Or will you have to send the whole figure back, and they'll send you out another, and risk them doing the same thing all over again? We know what the problem is, but affected persons don't have a solution.

Perhaps Seibertron could set up an "exchange" thread, wherein people who have these mis-matched accessories can compare them, find compatible mis-matches, and arrange swaps online? If it'll start the ball rolling, my Shrapnel figure has two copies of the "4" stamped leg/gun accessories. If there's anyone out there who needs to swap out a "2" or a "3" copy of theirs, and get a "4" replacement? Let me know and I'll arrange for my minions to make the trade!

Not seeing the actual dump body, though it's hard to tell what the stuff on his back unfolds into. At the same time we haven't seen his weapons, they could be garbage truck lifts. Either way, it's safe to say he's some sort of heavy machinery.

The article posted a little over an hour ago and states it is up for pre-order on Pulse. But my guess is pre-orders probably wont open for a few more minutes starting around 9am PDT/12pm PDT (about 8 minutes from this post)

Not a fan of the robot mode. Looks a little too spindly (just how hollow are the backs of those legs?)
Though I suppose they were limited by the alt mode which looks good, and unlike The Ark, at least she has weapons for her robot mode.

She looks very nice, I will definitely be getting her, but I may try my luck at finding one at brick-and-mortar retail instead of pre-ordering.

I also like the look of that Voyager Junkion, I don't have any of the Junkions yet, but depending on the Voyager's final look I may track down Scraphook and Crashbar and have a Junkion trio.

Also, I got a shipping notice for Dirge today, he'll be with me by the end of this week. I look forward to having him again.

Damn, she's SWEET!
And in both modes.

Also, am I the only one seeing this?
