    it doesn’t have 5mm holes on the arms, sides of the legs, back and bottom of the feet like all WFC G1 figures to accommodate the combat and airlock figures nor effects pegs on the body so I’d agree with Fenrys it’s not

    Just out of curiosity, why hasn't Hasbro try and put a cap on this guy? He's leaked a lot of stuff.

    You can’t even call these leaks anymore because the whole dam is bursting at this rate.

    I love it so much! I'm actually glad he's not as big as a standard Voyager. When I first heard "Voyager Hot Rod" I felt like he was going to be way too big. Filling out the price-point with accessories was a good move.

    Seems he has a buttload of accessories.
    Swappable head w/ visor, rotating saw, gun with blast effect, Matrix with blast effect.

    I wonder if they're doing it like the Bumblebee box sets, where it's a small figure (not as small as Bee) with a bunch of extra parts, sold at a higher price point?

    Awesome!!  I didn\'t think next year would be for me with all the Beast Wars focus, but looking like there will be a lot of great stuff for me anyway. G1 in Studio Series could be a  beautiful thing for  a little while.

    Yeah, I'm definitely getting this. Posing it with the Matrix thing will look great alongside my Optimus.

    The fake chest is the one thing I dislike. Otherwise, pretty perfect. Like a smaller scaled Masterpiece, the car\'s back folding up into the feet is at least MP level transformation. I love the added yellow joints, as yellow was a color on the G1 cartoon model too.
    The slits on the engine make it seem like the guns can be mounted there, like with the TR toy. Not sure why Tonton barely even tried adding the accessories.

    okay I wrong about the bottom of the feet but still not the same for WFC Figures who have two on the arms, one on each side of the legs(not back of the legs) and one on the back. That’s standard for every WFC G1 figure except arcee and chromia due to her proportions. If this was a WFC figure it’d have those especially since we know warpath has the same holes

    So SS86 is going to directly compete with generations. I look forward to getting every single one

    Ah, yes. The old discount Russian roulette. Not me. This figure is too good to risk missing out on. I'm preordering as soon as it goes live. I don't know why so many people have a hang up on the price. The baseline for a Marvel Legends figure is $20, and they don't even transform. Transformers are a much better value, IMO.
