I think you'd get a kick out of knowing, this is my favorite pick up so far this year, and very well may be my number one, come January. I am just freakin in LOVE with this guy! What they've managed to do here, in a mainline voyager, is very impressive to me. I was sold on him, but not fanatically so, until I got hands on him.. I don't know what else they could have done, in a 2024 voyager, fresh mold budget, to make it any better. I'm just astonished at how they got like 70% of a very large alt mode, stuffed into a little midgets calves lol
I was really excited to get this one. My wife didn't know what the big deal was until I showed her a clip of episide one. I skip most of the new stuff until they tug at my love for nastalgia the right way like this one. Who cares about the kibble. The fact that they did it is epic. Making something from a classic cartoon that didn't make since to begin with is awesome. Now I have all three and couldn't be happier. Soon to be partially Toyhax'd.
I'm not mad with it. They made something from a cartoon that never made sense to begin with into an actual figure. Compromises were going to need to be made. His "natural" alt mode made no sense to his obviously Earth based vehicle body. But they did it with typical mainline compromises. I'm not thrilled but I'm not upset with it. If I can find one, it will make its way into my collection.
wait until you get him in hand.. you'll warm up to him quickly. He's really a great figure. You're correct about comprimises, but he's just so .... neat, I guess is a good term. Not like neat and tidey, but neat like, interesting. The wizardry in those legs just floors me, as someone who loves the engineering side of these guys.
My copy will stay in alt-mode permanently. Especially as the transformation looks like a flap flipping fun frolic... I believe the round accessories double as "blades" for the front of the vehicle and then dominator disks in bot mode.
Can’t wait to see the custom Magnificus, that’s my favorite stuff you do is the custom showcasing😍and I hate when wings and stuff that are supposed to be symmetrical (sixshots wings) move so I appreciate them being locked in place
And hasn't been since Studio Series & Siege. It's been about price points, and more specifically, parts count, engineering, and paint. But by the time the vast majority finally figures that out, Hasbro's likely to have changed the focus of the classes yet again.
While true, a majority of the time it’s literally just a slightly fancier deluxe that comes with a few extra panels. Hasbro pennies quite a lot from these figures.

Yeah I showed them on the front but they just don't appeal to me

Coming up, yeah I might do a members only video on the making of
he's so doofy lol. he goes from a solid cube bot mode to a hollow cube in alt mode. i love it
Waiting on the reissue of the Bumblebee to complete my trio of never leaving alt mode Transformers.
It’s essentially badly compromised just so that it can fit bumblebee into the vehicle while keeping wheeljack in scale.
I'm enjoying it pretty cool to have.. Great Review ✨️😀
Thanks G
Nice use of emojis
✌🏼🤦🏻♂️👍🏼Yo!
Class isn't a size scale anymore.

Truth, but if we are going by parts count, this still doesn't feel complex enough to warrant voyager. It's all panels and pins

@@octobotimus yep
Big boy pants..
😂
With the blue shield on looks atrocious in both modes. I’ve passed on all of these cybertron modes, I believe newage will do them in the future.
This figure was made to stay in alt mode
If only this didn't suck. I just can't do it
