NOT A COMPLAINT!
He looks AMAZING!
I Want EVERY TF Prime Figure.
EVERY SINGLE ONE!
Maybe switch around a few 1st additions for RID versions, but every character. I Really hope this doesn't bite the dust like animated. Damn, I miss animated.

Dude, it's poor lighting. He's not brown. He's silver in the catalog scan.TimothyR wrote:so.. in the show he's mostly chrome/bright silver.. yet his figure looks to have a decent amount of that disgusting brown plastic.. that makes no sense. hasbro uses the normal light grey plastic with everything, yet now, when it would actually make more sense.. they choose not to use it.

The catalogue scan's probably the photoshopped promotional image of the toy, I've stopped trusting those for colour accuracy for quite a while now...
That said, I REALLY REALLY hope you're right.

I know it'd gotta be bad lighting since some of his purple parts look black (or close to it) in those images to me.Kamex wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Dude, it's poor lighting. He's not brown.

The toy appears to be slightly mis-trasformed in both modes. the mis-transformed jet mode looks like TM1 Waspinators jet mode.
I can't further judge the toy. till i see bigger,clearer & more accurately transformed toy pics.

It looks like a claw weapon held by his left hand. It might be the piece infront of the cannon in jet mode. I think the shoulders are mistransformed aswell. They should be able to rotate down a bit more.
Take a good look at this close-up from the Argos website:

You might be right about the bad lighting, but I doubt good lighting will make it look silvery/grey. Surely it'd just look like a lighter brown.

I'm a happy fanboy.

Also note in these pictures, that while it could be blamed on bad lighting at a glance, notice that the claws are a completely different from the rest of him, where as the promo pics say they should also be silver, here his body looks tan where as his claws are brown. So yeah, he's brown.

I had exactly the same initial reaction.

I agree. I love the robot mode on this toy/media design. I really dis-like the alt mode. the front part looks like a wasp's head.
I'm not a fan of,"hey it looks like a jet because it's got 2 wings on the sides of the alt mode"
I don't mind cybertronian styled jet modes. as long as they look cool,sleek,powerful & not overly weird like distorted things like this TF Prime,megatron jet mode.
IMHO,Personally since this TF Prime,Megatron media/toy designs is a loose homage based off TF 2007 Movie megatron. one can easily pretend the 2007 voyager movie megatron toy is TF Prime's,Megatron toy.

Yeah. He did look brown. I was actually expecting him to be brown green orange... who knows what else!! That certainly seems to be the running theeme.
U.S./hasbro figs = crumby paint apps.
eastern/takara figs = accurate paint apps = must buy at a jacked up price on ebay. Glad they got it right.

I know, right. What's the point in taking bragging photos and then covering them up with a pointless piece of paper? The official image of this guy had the claw on one arm and his cannon on the other so we know those two aren't permanently joined.
Glad to see those previous photos were quite a bit off with the colour.Will most certainly pick this guy up if and when I see him. The deluxe figure is an awesome figure indeed, but then it is still a deluxe. (I know, I'm such a snob.)

Excellent question. I usually have a terrible time finding Power Rangers, but Bandai stepped up their game and released an onslaught of new stuff.
Hasbro's still just sitting there, waiting. For what? I don't know. Perhaps we'll be impressed and overwhelmed when they do release all the new toys and news, but I've lost a lot of faith in their abilities, lately.
It's like they're not even trying anymore. I'm worried that their focus will become multimedia and they'll drop the toys altogether.

That's one hideous face right there. Good size figure though and a nice mold, just a shame about the colours. Will probably hold out for the Takara version.
Posted by kirbenvost on January 21st, 2012 @ 4:02pm CST
Anyway, these pictures are satisifying, but the lighting doesn't do it any favors. The plastic looks pretty cheap. But I'm really comforted that he has two hands and that weird looking thing is some sort of weapon. So far it's a buy.
Posted by Dead Metal on January 21st, 2012 @ 4:17pm CST
I may buy the Takara one, if this guy looks good next to FE Optimus Prime.
I want to see some size comparisons between the RID Voyagers and other toys from other lines, just to see how much smaller they are.

It's already out now in the UK (that's how this guy got his). As for the U.S., probably around February/March.SW's SilverHammer wrote:Can't wait for this one . does any one know when this figure's coming out
