    So you just filed the 3 nubs down and that was it? I need to try this. So did you just file the front part or the whole ridge that goes inside the chest?

    Got Soundblaster today, fantastic figure. Size and plastic quality are FAR better than most modern voyagers.

    Yep, The INTERIOR of the disc hole. Ratbat kept getting so wedged in there I had to operate with tools.

    What I did was make the same nice radius that the discs have going IN as they should have coming out. Like I said..works like a charm now, and yes, I filed the nubs down alot.

    I too was skeptical at first, considering how much I liked the WFC Soundwave toy, but I was easily able to justify purchasing Soundblaster once I saw how awesome the mold was.

    This is one of the best TFs I've seen this year. I think I'll buy Soundblaster, I like his color scheme more.

    I'm just now getting back to reading this.. but, I did the same thing...

    Just the little nub at 1,6 and 10 o'clock. The little nub it's self on the edge and not the whole thing down the hole opening... just about like a millimeter or two, just enough to stop the minions from catching on to them and stopping them from going in/out... now they pop out like they are supposed to..

    One of the best voyagers I have had in a long time:thumbs2: 

    If this is the new trend it looks like 2013 is going to be a great year for Voyager class figures.

    Got Soundwave and disks from a trade, I am very pleased by this figure.
    The disk case and Soundwave's interior is a bit tight to squeeze in the disks. At full 3, his door is almost about to bust open.

    quick review of his crew:
    fliers - great!
    Rumble and Frenzy- sometimes they're lazy to transform, sometimes they do. They're alright
    Ravage - lame, Steeljaw will make me just as sad

    I think the should have just gone for posable non transforming disks.
    I loved Kamen Rider Hibiki Disk Animals they were very semi flat and transformed into articulated animals, they were just beautiful.

    Already have WFC Soundwave, bought Soundblaster (and Buzzsaw) for the disc gimmick, there's basically no difference with transformation between WFC and FOC, just size.

    Since FOC wave 3 deluxes comes with all kinds of heavy weapons, you can give any of them to SB/SW. I let SB hold a Gear Shredder, which shoots disc too, lol.

    Couldn't be happier with this figure. So glad that it's not as flimsy as FOC deluxes.

    Strange. This figure does not feel insubstantial like Magnus and Thundertron did (or the rest of the FoC line for that matter). It feels like a regular pre-world-went-to-shit voyager. Horray for that. Lazerbeak is awesome. Horray for that. And Ravage... Let's just say I have a better chance of spontaneously exploding into the shape of a cat than he does. If Ravage and RotF leader Prime both fell off of a shelf in alt mode, the chance of either of them ending up in robot mode is about equal.

    The only thing I would change is the red paint. The accent color is already light purple. The red is out of place. Bad clash.

    So... I did change the red paint. Covered it with blue. Wow. That simple few minutes took away 100% of the Fisher Price and added a good 10% baddass. Recommended.

    I was just thinking of that today. Makes perfect sense when you think about it. He's a fig based on the FoC videogame, so why not give him one of the multiplayer weapons the deluxe figs come with to replace the missing gun, right? The Gear Shredder matches up pretty well with Soundblaster.

    It a really cool figure. My figure can launch all 3 discs easily. I probably got a decent set then.
    I don't mind the big size since it reminds me of the g1 toy

    This is one figure where the gimmick totally justifies itself. I still think the deluxe looks better in both modes, but the disc gimmick is just so great that I love having this new voyager.

    Rumble is a bit of a non-event, but the birds and Ravage are the greatest things ever.

    idk, I think this one has better legs/feet and headsculpt. The deluxe is cool and everything but the face never convinced me and the feet were HUGE.
