Agreed, except Lockdown's, which I'm on the fence about. I know he can't have his trademark Animated squint in every universe, but these big, insectoid, compound eyes, combined with his mouth sculpt, make him look stoned or something...from certain angles at least. In one pic he looks OK, so I might need to see him in person. Or I might just not need another Lockdown.

It's the same head design as the Lockdown from the Revenge of the Fallen toyline.

And the fan who got him, Chicagolander, has taken images so that we can see him at every angle. And some angles sure are better than others. There is a really nice shot, though, of Bunblebee inside him, recreating the scene from the very first episode. We see what needs to be done for Bee to fit and how spacious the alt mode is.

Holy f*$%anoli! The most obvious feature fans would want that no one asked for because no one thought it was possible!

Could this be the warm up for a SS'86 Titan Astrotrain that can do the same trick with the upcoming Devastator?!?

Being spacious enough to carry Bumblebee inside him is the whole reason why they made Wheeljack a Voyager instead of a Deluxe.

But I would certainly entertain the idea of a Commander version if it delivered.

I don't see either happening. I just don't think the engineering is possible for HasTak to do what people want. That's the science-fiction aspect in force...like a 35 foot tool tyrant transforming and shrinking into something a human could hold.

And in a previous fan stream, Evan said that if they were to do a SS86 Astrotrain, it would just be a more cartoon-accurate redeco of Siege Astrotrain.

Really? Ugh. Is that a result of little faith in their design team, or the character's appeal? Because that mold for that character was trash. It might have worked better for Galaxy Shuttle, but Astrotrain needs a new mold. Especially a SS86 version.

Many fans bemoaned the idea of having open windows since it would lead to theft or missing accessories and Hasbro is answering one particular concern with how Gears is packaged. His chestplate is not pinned and so can be detached. So, what Hasbro did is have it stored in a bag within the box instead of affixed on the chest where it might be removed.
Also, we are letting you know so that you don't think the toy is missing its chest when you see it at retail.

The wave 2 toys have been found in Singapore in a collector shop by Jhund the Jester, as well as other areas in Asia, and should be hitting North American distribution next month, at least online.

And good on them for homaging one of his two most iconic stories. I prefer his team-up with Spider Man in Marvel US #3, but homaging that would mean designing a Gears toy that can shatter when dropped from the scale-height of Fortress Sinister and somehow just pop back together again good-as-new, meaning all kinds of parts could be shoplifted through the open window.

Hmmm...there've also been a few Matrix accessories small enough to fit in there, right? Gearimus Prime would then have not only the voice and color scheme, but finally the responsibilities and wisdom of PAPA SMURF!

But was anyone buying this for the bot mode???
I’m certainly not. And the front view is really pretty good.
I’m still looking forward to adding this figure to my collection.

I was. Like Bumblebee and Jazz if you look at this figure straight on it's one of the best animation accurate Wheeljack's we've gotten.

Beside, that's a regular voyager. It's not a 200$ Masterpiece figure. So of course some sacrifices must be made. For me, that's pretty acceptable for a mainline toy.

He can hang out with all the other non-Season 1 Beast Wars outliers like Shadow Panther, Grimlock, Skywarp, Mutant Tigatron, T-Wrecks, Transmutate, Nemesis Primal, Skywasp, Sandstorm, Buzzsaw, Transmetal II Megatron, Lio Convoy, Copy Convoy, Antagony, Tasmania Kid, Tigerhawk, and Magmatron.

I'm a little surprised by that. And slightly annoyed that now I'm not sure how I'll get him.
Looks like people weren't overly bothered by the backpack issue.

Also, why is Gears not on Amazon??
