    I just did TCracker's combination with my Fireburst Prime and Lazerbeak. Wow, this toy went from awesome to epic. I also love the light piping on this guy. The mix of blue and red is fantastic.

    I took some pics of mine...nowhere near the quality of TCracker's, but I am still proud.

    I'm quite enjoying this fig, very glad I found him this weekend! The axe is really cool, and fun to pose with, I gotta do the laserbeak combo next!

    I followed suit with a few others and wiped the blue paint off his eyes, which I think makes the toy even better. The only real trouble I have is keeping the truck cab together in alt mode.

    Other than that, I'm glad I waited for this repaint than the wave 1 voyager.

    I wasn't entirely sure I was going to get the Voyager Prime from DotM at all until I saw this guy. I have mixxed feelings about him, but on the whole, good toy.

    I love the gun/axe... of course, the axe only works if you're looking at it from the side. But it's very neat.

    I like the deco on this guy a lot more than the normal voyager Prime. Kinda wish it was black/red, but the dark blue works. It's still obviously Prime, but the colors work to differentiate him from my RotF Leader Prime.

    As far as the toy itself, while it's by no means bad, he's my least favorite voyager so far (out of Prime, Skyhammer, Shockwave and Megatron). The proportions are kinda funky... the legs are so long as compared to his torso. I'm also not a really big fan of having the wheels on the insides of his arms, but I guess that can't be helped.

    Anyways, while I'm not totally wowed by the mold, I still kinda like it. I definitely think this is the better of the two current decos of this mold.

    Just transformed mine into truck mode, makes a sweet mission partner for Nitro BB but will look hotter sitting next to Cyberfire BB. Red windows awesome.

    As said by others, this will be my Movie Nemisis Prime/Scourage. Just need to add a few minor paint details and he will be perfect with Optimus, Sentinel and Malleus (my skyhammer turned into one of the Lost Primes)

    Picked this guy up today after hunting for a few days. He's the first of this mold I've gotten, and I have to say that this paint job makes the mold so much better. The axe is a nice plus too. Fun transformation, I love how the flame lightning looks in truck mode. Probably gonna hunt for Laserbeak later this week to attach to his back. And just because Laserbeak's badass.

    Laserbeak Prime convinced me to start looking for these two. This is basically voyager jetwing prime!

    I got Fireburst OP the other day - not bad, though not quite the excellent quality of Shockwave or Skyhammer. The transformation is interesting enough, and the weapon is just great.

    I had my Laserbeak all ready to make Voyager Jetwing Prime, and that's pretty decent too - I actually like Laserbeak on Shockwave's back a little better, but the colors are off.

    The way I figured out to do it, you keep Laserbeak in VTOL mode, but for Prime you need something to stabilize between the two panels, so I folded the jet nose all the way down. The pegs on the feet can position nicely to peg into the back holes, and the tail can be transformed and positioned so that the silver forked part goes on either side of Prime's head like some sort of control harness. The wings can then be folded out for flight.

    What's interesting is that there is a way to store Laserbeak in Prime's truck mode too. Notice in truck mode that the back of the cab is a bit hollow - you can wedge the nose of the jet into that space, and it stays in there pretty nicely. You need to fold Laserbeak's feet behind him in order for this to work. I'm not sure what advantages having wings or VTOL jets would give him in truck mode, but it's something to do.

    I might have to pick this guy up, as he looks absolutely amazing! A lovely repaint! And I'll probably steal TheNames9's idea and use him as Nemesis Prime in my movie Collection.

    And what's the deal with his eyes? Do some come painted, and others not, or are people removing the paint themselves?

    The one thing that was a major disappointment on both of these Primes is that his 'eyeball' isn't painted a different color.
