    Probably Marvel Galvatron. Especially if it’s how he was portrayed in Target 2006

    "My maker....I do."

    I know the movie was dumb and blah blah blah but I still love this voyager. Great in both modes, very clever transformation. I know the paint apps are better on the SDCC one but I'm not forking out £70 for that. Be interesting to see the Studio Series take on this one. Interestingly, the grey parts inside the lower legs and the truck front halves on the outside of the lower legs are both on balljoints and can be removed to make him look a bit more like the CGI model.

    I agree, this voyager is awesome. There's just something about it that sings to me and it may be my favourite movie figure, top 3 certainly since SS Fallen turned up. I love it so much, it got the full paint, chrome, toyhax and dr wu weapon set overhaul and it is just so. Bloody. Good. I'm interested to see the SS version but I doub tit'll ever replace this voyager on my shelf.


    Got some kits in from @EdmondYellow so SS86 Jazz has his thighs covered (always have a soft spot for Jazz) and ER ironhide and ratchet have feet that fit in with their legs and a proper van mode. Huzzah! March is the month of body parts alright!

    This is my third Mini (first one was a 2010 Mini Clubman my third car, then my black Mini One called Bertie was with me from 2013, was very upset to have to say goodbye)

    I would have got that Cliffjumper figure, but it just doesn't look enough like a Mini for me and I would just want to reshell it

    I don’t recall seeing a season 2 available yet. I’m still working my way through season 1 with my son. I didn’t have the platform streaming service that Earthspark was showing on so its been fun and games cancelling and starting what we do have or want. The way it’s all going is encouraging binge sessions to quickly watch and then cancel within a month or free period.

    Third train bot down. Definitely not as hot on this guy as the other two! The legs aren't tabbing together the best.

    @LorDZeeD It's not Season 2 of Earthspark, it's more episodes of Season 1. They previously released the first 10 episodes, of a 26 episode season.
    That said, it has already been greenlit for a second season.

    I don't own any combiners, but if I did go for one, it'd be Devastator. He's the classic, the others merely follow in his wake.

    Theoretically I'd like him bigger than the other combiners, just because 6 voyagers > 1 voyager plus 4 deluxes, but a slightly smaller one wouldn't put me off because, as I say, he's unlikely to stand next to another combiner on my shelves anyway. But I would like him to look like he could at least bother Omega Supreme :) 

    Marvel Galvatron has infinite stamina and is, of course, an upgraded Megatron... Even if this IDW Overlord is post-tactical-blindspot-removal, Galvatron lives rent-free in his head already. He'd take longer than Overlord or Sixshot would to cleanse a planet, but he'd outlast anyone in a one-to-one fight.

    Sixshot would just sit and watch the fun, then offer his henchman services to the victor.

    Yes, just this. They're pretty good representations of the onscreen action, but the original source is not my thing.

    I am still looking for a CHUG Barricade. Not sure I want an evil Prowl toy for this; I wonder if Livio Ramondelli took any inspiration from the games for his IDW1 design at all?

    Well, UK customer has managed to put in a claim for 125 days ago, the good news is the tracking does seem to have somehow updated itself and it is now showing as delivered, which should be case closed for me. Still feel shitty for the customer though.

    This is very exciting. Kids and I are watching Voltron at the mo, wondering if I should interrupt that flow or wait till we're down. Not sure I can wait!
