I adore him.
As I said, he's my perfect Megatron; he honestly dwarfs every other G1 Megatron we've got so far imo and unlike a lot of others - like WFC and CW - he's not too big or too small. Voyager is what he should be.
The only thing putting me off a little is the colouring which seems a bit... off somehow, but I'm sure Takara will fix. In any case I'll hold off until I see Japan's so I know what my options are because this mold is really great and I don't wanna screw myself over by getting the inferior version of it.

That Bumblebee looks FANTASTIC! Can't wait to add him to my collection. It looks like you should be able to fit a titan master inside his car mode (which reminds me of the Alternators Bee quite a bit).

This is the very first time I've ever been really excited for a Blitzwing figure.

Please don't let me down, Hasbro.

It looks awesome, but a little bland on the upper half, just grey plastic for days, he really could have used a couple apps to help break that all up, but yeah, I'm stoked for it, hope the shoulders don't suck

I think what they tried to do is use silver plastic in place of paint apps. A good idea in theory but it works out too light and grey looking. And I wouldn't worry about the shoulders. They look much better than the leaders.

Yeah, if they tab securely, I'll get him, blitz and flywheels, I love well executed triple-changers, and hasbro seems to have really honed their skills at making them, they blow away the 3p competition easily

Assuming it's blitz and not flywheels

Why not both?

well... looks like Hasbro's hitting on third parties again. SWARM BUILDING TIME WITH GNAW!

Leader Class Sixshot!
I want one!!!

Megatron looks awesome. All he needs is a bigger cannon and some more paint apps and I'd call him perfect. Gnaw looks great too, his robot mode is appropriately adorable. I'm digging the lion Titanmaster as well.

I know! I hope they bring back all of the Autobot Master Warriors! Of course, as soon as they announced Kirk, we'd be hearing Shatner jokes throughout the year!

That's a pretty poopy Megatron, but a real nice Blitzwing, or it will be.

What's poopy about it?

The color.

That Megatron looks okay I guess. The paint is what kills it for me (like everyone else who has issues with it).
Have we seen any pictures of the voyager Optimus yet?

Only through the initial leak and the back of Megatron's box.

A small one here:



About it tho.

Thanks for the info regarding Optimus! If it's good I may have to get him and Megatron together.
My biggest issue for them is scale. Soundwave is a leader so it will look awful having a smaller Megatron. Same thing for Optimus and Blaster. My current setup is MP10 Optimus and CW Megatron because they are basically the same height, and in fairly good scale with most generations figures

It's time we got a Hubcap. We're way over due. Not another Bumblebee. I prefer that Knaw was deluxe class. Titan(Head) masters should be Voyager size. I wish Powermasters and Targetmasters were on the way but it doesn't look like it.

There's Triggerhappy confirmed right in back of the box.

Thats what you get when they go full G1:

The mold looks awesome, but I am not fond of the paint job. I look forward to seeing this in other finishes and decos.

... I'm certainly not disagreeing, I'd like one too, but... Hubcap seems a very strange and random choice.

Not that strange. He was featured in Sins of the Wreckers. That bumblebee could easily be retooled a bit.

Yeah, isn't Hubcap basically a retooled Cliffjumper?
Mind you, I also wouldn't mind seeing a Bumper... then again, I don't think three of the same mold in the same colour would be very appealing.

Did anybody else notice the Titanmaster Fangry listed on the back of this box?

I did, yeah. It's not that surprising since they've done most of the 1988 Small Headmasters so far; and it's not that exciting to get another head :p

So is Megs gonna turn bad guy next? The image lighting on Meg's gray plastics make him look cheap. I hope Takara can improve this.

Also, this hearkens back to a concept where Megs turns into a Skywarp like jet like gun.


Leokaiser? NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! But calling the core body Dezaras?

Though we know Takara has the Lynxmaster release, I wish they too will give this the "treatment". And like maybe convert the base spaceshuttle to a swing wing jet, maube like a B-1b bomber?
