    At least the weird kid who's in most of the promo photos isn't there.

    And for people who want to go the Amazon route, he's available at MSRP ($26) now. HTS is still cheaper, though.

    aww, they're so gentle and warming to play with!

    Fuck I miss 80's commercials.

    These guys are war machines that kill each other with large weapons of mass destruction, scratch that, ARE weapons of mass destruction (some of them) SELL THAT!!! That's what kids are into these days. Not lovable simple transformers that combine into a friendly sum of robot happiness.

    Fuuuuuuck

    I prefer the kid who screams "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE" and transforms his face over this turd.

    HIM!

    Really tired of seeing these young kids in the promo photos. It should be a man in his thirties, possibly balding, possibly overweight, wearing unflattering clothes with a silly grin on his face. As a customer, I want to be represented accurately.

    Loved how the guns are held on the Voyager figures! It's like they were truly harkening back to the G1 days ala G1 Prime who couldn't hold his gun straight!

    Can someone tell me where to click to find the video? I'm either terribly blind or terribly dumb and can't find it.

    I really hope some one just told their kid to get in there really fast, I'm hoping this kid wasn't actually picked to promote this.

    It's not the age it's his looks of distain and general not caring about the product ha.

    It's a link off to the left near the product photos. I had to bring it up in IE in order to see it, but I may have simply missed it while I had the page up in Firefox.

    I bet I'm not the only one who was hoping for a Victor Caroli voiceover.

    You're not alone. The delivery of the guy saying everything in that promotional video has no life to it.

    Thankfully it's not running on tv.

    Am i the only one that thinks they should make the commercials in the style of the 80s ones with generations figures?

    I've always thought a g1 inspired commercial for generations metroplex would've been awesome :lol

    Yeah, we really need an 80's-style commercial for these CW figures. This promo is competent enough (at least the teams weren't mixed up), but the guy could have been advertising house plants for all the pizzazz he put into it. It begs to question: Why hasn't Hasbro put out a single commercial for this toyline since it started with Classics?

    I feel like they assumed that the idea sold itself. Like any adult collector would see it's an updated verion of an old character, and would end up buying it. As for kids, I don't know.
