Scorn's visor somehow seems a little high up...

You're right, it looks like they sculpted a tiny visor but painted over the brow instead for... a bigger visor, I guess? Why not sculpt it that way then? Weird.

Now he just looks like a robo-parrot.

Oh, that picture isn't mine by the way... but that's the item.

Mine came with one as well (from HLJ). Maybebjust a store specific thing?

So I got voyager Megs and Hound in the mail today (FINALLY), and I wanted to share my thoughts.

First up, Hound!



...I love this guy. Easily one of my new favorites. His bot mode just looks so good, all the paint on him and the sculpting are awesome, and there's so much poseability. I like how they did the feet, really clever. I would prefer if they did it in a more movie accurate way, but it would probably be impossible at that size, so I'll give it a pass.



He just oozes character. Only things I'd change would be to change some joints to screws so they can be tightened when necessary, and give him more guns. I'd use the AoE guns (believe me, I'd love to and I'm so glad they made that a feature) but I don't have that Hound.



Vehicle mode is good too. Lacking in paint, sure, but does what it's supposed to and looks good doing it. Transformation is fun, but it has some clearance issues.


Now for Megs!



This is the guy I was waiting for, and wow. Definitely lived up to expectations, another new favorite. I loved this design in the movie, and I really hope they don't change it moving forward. The toy captures the look really well, and overall I like it more than the leader version. The only things I'd really change are minor things.
-Wrist swivel and pivot (because sword-wielders should always have those)
-Slightly larger cannon, with a stronger joint for the tip
-Tilting/rotating sword peg on the back
-More rounded battle skirt
-Adjustable horns
Add all that and he'd be flawless, but without those he's still pretty great.



And you can still get him in some really cool action poses.



Looks great with Prime, too!



Jet mode, while not as imposing as that of the leader, is also great. Good size, and the transformation is fun once you get the hang on of it. I just wish the wings/legs and the arms tabbed in a bit more securely.

Overall, love 'em both. Highly recommended.

Nice! I agree these should have hit earlier. I just got the 3 in on BBTS, and they should be shipping out soon with my Figuarts R2-D2. I've been looking forward to finding Crosshairs to stand next to my voyager Scorn since they were buddies in Age of Extinction.

I actually found wave 2 deluxes today (finally!). Im not interested in any of them since I heard Drift wasn't very good and I honestly couldn't stand Sqweeks in the movie. Bring on wave 3, I'm ready.

Megs is awesome.

Had to check a couple different stores and found the last voyager Megatron at Target. Really love this figure, his transformation is actually fun to do and he looks great in both modes.

Saw the new Hound at several places but I didn't pick him up. Can someone explain why people seem to love this figure? His head looks weirdly proportioned compared to his body, the vehicle mode looks cheap and bland, and the accessories are terrible, they don't look like any of the weapons he used in the movies. Think I'll stick with my Autobots United version of his AOE voyager, at least that has his minigun and proper shotguns.

From my own experience with TLK Hound, he looks so much better once he's out of the box and actually posing a bit. It's true the colors and vehicle deco aren't fantastic (I'd have much preferred a more vibrant green like the AoE one), and that his head is noticeably larger than I'd like in terms of scale with other 'bots (though I think it looks fine in proportion to the rest of his body) but like so many things about him, the issue becomes much less noticeable once he's doing something other than sitting in a window-box on a store shelf under fluorescent lighting. And honestly if you can pick out enough detail on Hound's weapons to tell them apart that clearly and with that level of passion, I'd say you're probably in the minority - personally as long as he's got some huge ol' guns to lug around I'm happy enough, and if you have the AoE one you can obviously give those weapons to the newer incarnation.

I think most of what it comes down to is that he's a really clever Transformer from an engineering perspective - it's maybe not quite Voyager Megs' level, but it's still a genius transformation IMO - and the robot mode in particular is objectively way more accurate to his on-screen appearance in both TLK and AoE. You do you, and if you prefer the previous mold, awesome! It just means you have one less thing to buy. But there are plenty of things that this new Hound does really well to entice people (myself included obviously) into buying and loving him.

These guys are awesome!!
