    Same guy also has a new picture of Jolt's bot-mode up:

    Transformers- Dark Of The Moon Deluxe Jolt (eBay item 280627716271 end time 14-Feb-11 22:55:10 AEDST) : Toys, Hobbies

    and a new alt-mode shot of Voyager Prime:

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transformers...9481?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item4156b72d39

    Not sure why, but my excitement for this figure has dwindled to the point where I probably won't get him. I still think he looks cool, but there are other figures that overshadow him, tbh. At this point the only wave one Mechtech figure I'll probably get is the blue nascar-bot. Might get Sentinel Prime, but I'm waiting to see bot-mode pics first, Shockwave no longer interests me that much, I'm going to wait for a repaint of the new Ironhide mold, and I'm not yet decided on Ultimate Prime. Most of the movie figures I'll be buying this year will be Cyberverse stuff. Just way more interesting, and overall cheaper.

    Kinda mediocre. I might actually be passing on most of this line. Still debating that one, but not a whole lot has cropped up that has me excited. Shockwave being the main interest so far.

    Ugh. I thought they would have run out of Allspark Blue by now. They aren't even waiting for the later waves before using it this time around!

    They look slighty underwhemling too me, especially after the rotf toys, but I guess theyre being simplified for the younger target audience to enjoy them

    edit: holy moly jolt's feet are horrendous, scratch that, the whole toy looks horrendous

    Jolt is looking like a solid Deluxe toy, wished he had his whips tho.

    Oh well, beggers cant be choosers and thats probably the most Jolt will get.

    I've never understood the hate for that colour. Used tastefully, it works just like any other colour. For Jolt, electric-blue Tron-lines fits just fine.

    The problem with the Allspark Power lineup was that it was shoehorned onto everything, not that the colour existed.

    That Jolt is getting much better the more I see him. Though I think using Jolt's head on the Blue Wrecker could make an awesome Jolt.

    Oh. That's an improvement. They don't suck.

    They're not particuarly good, either, but they suck less than the rest of the line seems to, which is an improvement. Also good for folks who like 'em. Everybody wins, huzzah!

    Yeah, that was supposed to be part of the joke about the irrational Blackout/Grindor raging that's constantly happening, but I guess if I have to explain it, it failed.

    I quite like the look of Jolt except for the feet. Shame there's no whips, though. Extending/deployable ones would have been a nice use of Mechtech.

    The collar helps a bit, but Jolt really isn't looking a whole lot better. So much for claims that the figure was mistransformed back to front.

    [​IMG]

    I still say it looks like the head crest can fold down though. That would be a nice touch and help match both his movie look and his previous toy.

    Even the hand-claws could be more accurate.

    Looks like an improvement on TF1 Camshaft though.
