    Well looks better than the Titan Changer for sure, but that\'s not saying much.  Why anyone who has the superior Kingdom toy would want this, is beyond me.

    Authentic figures are YMMV. Some are actually very good and others are awful. In the Bravo class, Barricade is a standout. And then there's Ratchet, who can barely move his arms. The alpha class does better, especially with the Decepticons. Optimus and BB are okay at best but Megatron, Soundwave and Shockwave are a good value for those wanting voyagers on a budget.

    Megatron rules, BTW. He may be a little on the fugly side, but he makes up for it by being an excellent action figure with all of his ball-jointy goodness.

    Not bad, just a few more paint apps would’ve definitely helped.

    Am I going crazy or does this feel like it has better robot mode proportions than the Voyager? He feels so chunky and heroic.

    Not too bad for such a relatively cheap figure! That Monke mode looks almost hilariously depressed, I might get it for that alone.

    Ooh he actually looks quite spectacular. If I knew where to find authentics I’d be on the look at most definitely. Basically what I’ve wanted. Now give us Megs!

    could use some silver on the chest, but it's not bad at all for what it is.

    That’s superb for an Authentics figure. I will be picking him up for sure!

    Is this gonna be in scale with the Kingdom and Legacy Cores?

    Cause it would be awesome if it was. This thing looks great.

    The lack of range in the elbows when compared to the knees bugs me.

    Also, they have the feet backwards.

    If the elbows were simple ball-joints with 90 degree range this dude would fuck. It'd be a near-perfect little desk Primal, especially to anyone who's good at painting.

    Oh I somehow just caught that they’re not… weird. Eh I’m guessing he’s a cheap lil guy so I can still dig it.
