TFPrime Voyager Wave 2 released

[griffin]

Sighted in Singapore (which usually means it will be in America within a couple weeks, and here in a couple months), are the pair of TFPrime Voyagers for Wave 2 - Bulkhead & Starscream (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-prime-robots-in-disguise-voyager-series-2-released-in-singapore/24542/).

According to the Checklist (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=13011), the next TFPrime items we can expect released by Hasbro are the Playsets in May, and then June/July for the next round of Action Figures.

In all honesty, apart from that god-awful Mechtech weapon; Bulkhead doesn't look all that bad - Sure, he's not on the same level as the FE figure, but he looks to be quite solid in his own right. :cool:

Can't wait for Aus to start getting the 2nd Wave of things... :)

Gallery of photos of both toys, with some comparison shots - Starscream (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-powerizers-starscream-pictorial-review-174806/) and Bulkhead (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-prime-39/transformers-prime-powerizers-bulkhead-pictorial-review-174807/).


Deluxe Starscream looks to be a more accurate representation of the wimpy, scrawny character of the cartoon... the Voyager one is too big to portray that.

i know it has been said before, but if FE didn't exist the current line would be just fine (because nobody would know the difference). I agree the bulkhead is a fine figure, just the fe overshadows most of the prime molds

Uh huh. I feel somewhat guilty to my wallet for ordering a FE Bulkhead from ebay when they're so ridiculously expensive, but then I look at the RID.
As for Starscream, after reviewing the voyager I went and ordered a 2nd FE Screamer. Since I was going to end up with 2 one way or the other I could justify getting the 2nd for 'keeping pristine'.

Guh, doesn't Hasbro see how far off the mark all these Mechtech pieces are compared to the show?

im probably still going to get the first edition bulkhead... but there's nothing wrong with the prid one

That Starscream looks nice.

Perhaps I'm not yet done with the Prime line.

I like this!

Not sure if this warrants a new topic... Deluxe RID Prime toys are also out and Knockout and Vehicon seems to be the ones that are super hot along with tagged along Wave 2 toys such as Arcee and Ratchet.

HotShot is also seen to be gone from the shelves leaving poor Bumblebee once again a shelf-warmer.

Restocks of the Wave 2 Voyagers (Bulkhead and Starscream) are seen at Toys R Us, OG and all released at Metro are gone

I'm not sure how I feel about Scream's chest and torso. I wonder how he scales with Voyager Megs...?

And can those missles on his wings be detached to be placed on his arms in bot mode?

Otherwise, still a nice figure...if you don't have FE...

[Doubledealer]

Thanks for the pics Crankster. After seeing the two Screamers side by side it's pretty clear to me which is the better, more accurate Screamer. FE it is.
