    Straxus deserves a Voyager class figure. If they make another Deluxe Darkmount or whatever, I'll just remain content with the Generations one.

    Wave 4 will probably start showing up in the US around Sept/Oct since whatever wave or line that Astrotrain is a part of will start showing up late November to mid December.

    Still absolutely convinced that Impactor\'s design is a leftover from POTP. Not very good at all. They should have just repainted Brunt.

    Not even Takara stock photography can make that pile of junk Impactor look good.

    Yeah, sure. Genius idea. Continue the trend of Impactor being nothing but a repaint!
    Gold star for you!

    I personally think Impactor looks good.  Definitely better than the CGI renders.  The hollow legs don\'t look anywhere near as bad as they did.

    yeah... that yellow plastic does not do any favor to impactor, the head sculpt looks mushy too... shame, maybe on a voyager scale would have been done better.

    Impactor looks good even if a bit hollow, maybe in person won't be too noticeable, i think many people aren't liking it because some were hoping for the more "round" IDW design.

    If this was made back in 2013/14 it would've maybe had a chance to be a voyager figure in the comic style like Springer was, nowadays they have completely abandoned those influences.

    Impactor doesn\'t look that bad hollow legs and mushy face sculpt notwithstanding. Surely he\'s no MMC Spartan, but I\'ll probably get him all the  same; we probably won\'t get an official non-retool Impactor figure again anytime soon anyways.

    The head looks a little bit better from the side, but from the front it still looks pretty bad. At least we\'ll finally have an official impactor that\'s not just a repaint. It would be great to get a couple upgrade kits for the head, harpoon, and gaps at some point.

    I think it's a decent enough Impactor, though I'm less convinced it would make a good Straxus.

    Impactor looks nice,  but the head size and deluxe class really ruins it for me. I\'ll just get a Spartan down the road.

    I feel like I’m in opposite world. I love Impactor.

    Yeah the hollow legs aren’t great, but I’m sure it’s so they can make a Deluxe that can stand the same height as Springer.
