    Oooh! Nice. I'll take that clear red. Ugh that red paint looks hideous.

    I've only seen the clear red as far as I know, and I've seen them at at least 4 stores. Thank goodness. That opaque red doesn't look nearly as good.

    Is this the same voyager mold that was released in RotF? Does it still have the tattoos all over it? It's hard to tell by those pics.

    Oh, cool.

    It has the tattos, but there are fewer of them (there's no paint at all, for instance, on the right thigh or the panels behind the feet that end up behind the cockpit in jet mode). However, they're also made from silver paint that's not too different from the grey plastic, so at certain angles, they almost disappear. It's a neat effect.

    Aw, but now it's not Human Alliance Starscream with Agent Salazar anymore.

    Oh, well. The clear looks a bit better, anyway.

    I saw the transparent one a week ago. I thought that they changed them all from what the photos showed so didn't care. Didn't know it was a variant. Oh well still wont be getting it.

    I like the way Ratchet looks. I only bought the Rescue Ratchet, but I think I'll buy this DOTM one.

    I like the bright red of the solid one. It is a nice red.

    All our exclusive voyagers got scalped up yesterday, I put all the new deluxes and such into my cart (I just got off my shift, saw our local scalper heading back there, so I grabbed a cart [had to get groceries anyways], headed back and put all our new product in my cart to keep him from it), but he nabbed the voyagers before I could do anything about it.
