In-Hand Images: Transformers Prime Wave 4 Voyagers Ultra Magnus & Thundertron

So is it safe to assume the hammer locks?

I hope some 3rd party or other is already making a good weapon for Thundertron, but even without one he's a definite buy. Magnus is very much Animated Magnus for a Classics collection, IMO, just like RTS Lugnut or Prime Bulkhead. That's not a bad thing, by any means, I love the hammer concept. Not 100% sold on the figure though. Not really liking the vehicle and robot mode is, yes, a bit bland looking.

Agreed. Normally I'm not picky about paint aps, but those smokestacks look naked. Eh, nothing a silver paint marker won't solve though...

Also, I know I said this earlier, but I really, really hope Thundertron pops up in the show. A pirate lion is just so random, it's intriguing.

You know what would be interesting? If he appeared in a sequel to Prime; Beast Hunters.

Probably not likely, but I still want to pick these two up. I'll have to do Hasbro's job again.

PASS AND PASS. Believe me, I'm not complaining.......more more for the "names we don't speak of" and Takara MP stuff...

Looking at them again... I think I am good just having "Arms Microns" Arcee.

Besides, right now, I am hoping to expand my Japanese Generation 1 collection in the future, not add obscure characters that have given me little to no enjoyment at this current time.

Thundertron is reminding me of the Lion Zord from Power Rangers Wild Force...

There's a blue tab on the shaft of the laser that we can see in open and closed positions. Also the pictures show the hammer engaged without the spring removed. I for one am quite happy

WOW! I'm so glad i didnt get into TF: Prime line, these two are awful! I mean I'm not downing the whole line, there are some cool, good molds out there, but these need to do back to the drawing board and start over.

I don't know if it was mentioned yet (though I'm sure it was somewhere at some point), but I could totally see Thundertron repainted as Steeljaw and the current color scheme and bot mode kinda have a Tigerhawk vibe to them. He's a bit more 'Cybertron-y' than I'd like for a beast bot, but I'll still get him.
