    Wow. When I first saw this, my thought was that it looked pretty good but I would hold off and get the "Leader Class" fig. However, the features and playability of the Voyager figure are impressive:

    - regular dragon mode
    - hydra mode with weapons
    - dragon heads are "pistols" in bot mode
    - dragon heads can form a cannon in bot mode
    - sword-club tail
    - wings can deploy in bot mode
    - knee spikes deploy as melee weapons
    - and he does it all wearing what apprear to be black bell bottom slacks! :) 

    My only questions are can the swordclub and dragon-head guns be stored on his back or somewhere else in bot mode? Also, I would have loved to see a comparison shot with the new Voyager Prime and maybe some BH deluxes to get a better sense of scale/size.

    Nicely done Hasbro. Both this figure and the Prime Voyager are able to have multiple play features without compromising the figure. These are a huge improvement over last year's Weaponizers. I won't get both the Voyager and Leader and this figures makes it a VERY tough decision for me.

    Love that he improves on the classic Grimlock tail transformation by adding hind legs.
    And maybe it's just me, but I wish the front shoulders could rotate forward in dragon mode, to help hide the bot mode even better.

    Wonder if any Radicon's gonna transform this figure into another Grimlock homage...

    I like how that's a expectation in tf figs now. Even though it's a feature that's only been in the toys in recent years, and even then it's never really been a constant thing.

    Seems to me like there'd be so many more inspired homage repaints/customs you could do with this guy then just another Grimlock...As a dragon...Wait...Why...Nevermind.

    He looks SO much like Saren from Mass Effect.

    I want to wait for the leader class, but I'm worried that it'll be full of crappy gimmicks that will hinder it. I think this looks pretty sweet. I may have to order one.
    Also, I think the claws work better as hands than beast feet. Maybe it's just me.

    I feel like he'll be an impulse buy for me. If I find him on the shelves with cash to spare I'll grab him, but I'm not going to go hunting and won't be bereft without him. He's fun, but not fantastic.

    Just saw it - this would make an AWESOME Disney crossover for Maleficent...

    Looks ugly. Larger version seems a lot cooler.

    Sorry for this question, I have not been keeping track. Is there a larger version confirmed?

    Does anyone know 100% if there is going to be a larger version and when it might be available?

    We saw in-hand pics of the altmode at NYCC. That's all we know.
