That gun/hammer looks great in both modes! That's a rare occurrence. When's the last time we got that? Megatron?
You shall lead my Bulkhead (when I get the FE version this Winter) & Wheeljack into battle, Wrecker Leader. Ultra Magnus isn't on the top of my priorities list, but if I see him, he's an insta-buy (unless I see Vehicon.......... Yeah right!)

I'm pretty happy to see the Powerizer weapon actually locks in place for a change. It also looks nice to me in both modes. Real excited for the figure it comes with too. ...What?

Vehicle mode on the otherhand really does blow. The connectors for the main weapon are plain poor and the red roof is horrible. It's a bit of a kick in the nuts actually. All that money they wasted on that thick layer of red paint could've been used to paint those rims and smokestacks.
Oh well. It's still serious wantage.

Why do you need to do that? He's already got ports on his shoulders for the missile he already has to go on his shoulder. All you need is a 2nd one.

robot mode doesn't look bad. it looks like (and that's all we've got to go on from that "review") that he has okay articulation and range of movement. I quite like the transformation, like Ratchets, where stuff folds around other stuff to make him appear more solid. the hammer/gun looks decent in either mode, but the missile doesn't look good anywhere.

The single missile makes him look asymmetrical.
The weapon? Only positive thing. I love it. Locks, too. (MOAR of this, Hasbro.)
Pass. Even Thundertron looks better than this guy.

A little fact checking and some lighting could have helped. Ten plus minutes of opinion isn't a figure review. No offense if the author is reading. Just, you know, do the facts and wrap up with your thoughts.

I mean no disrespect here, but ten minutes of opinion PLUS going through transformation IS a review, thats how he chooses to do it and theres nothing wrong with it. And while youre right, that isnt Breakdowns head, i can see the similarities to BD and Swerve so its not totally off base there. And for the vehicles, the way that panels rotate and wrap around the leg is identical. Vehicles themselves, no similarity
The lighting remark i disagree with, you could see part where the lighting had increased and the colours looked quite washed out, the levels for the majority of the review gave a better contrast for the details, plus with a backdrop like that its probably best
really cant wait to get this in hand. so excited its stupid

Maybe you could buy 2, and make one of them into Sentinel Prime...
Minus the hammer and missle though

That looks kickass dude
I'm likin this guy much more than i thought i would, he has a stunning robot mode and pretty much the best prid mechtech, right before megatrons imo.
His legs are kind of like a simplified version of dotm ironhide; anybody else see that?

Betcha that's already in Hasbro's plan for a repaint. Or maybe TFCC...

Hmm. The color scheme looks pretty good on that mold... As for TFCC...Prime figures would be the ONLY way I'd ever give Botcon my money.

Also, now I want to know if his instruction manual has the alternate head easter egg, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I can see it as a DOTM Sentinel convention exclusive (which would still kinda make no sense, as we already have one), but the Aligned Sentinel is dead, and I've never seen a repaint from a light blue to a dark blue:

That looks freakin' amazing, and I would totally buy it.
So if they're supposed to be wavemates... where's Skyquake?

Very cool repaint idea. Are these new voyager figures going to be available at WalMart/Target or do we have to order from importers like TFSource and BBTS?

BBTS says they won't have them until November but they get released in October so check around at Walmart, Target etc.

Yeah, Skyquake is in Wave 5 (alone, like his brother in Wave 3).
