Safeguard is better than I thought but still not a great toy. Worth $30
Well... kind of original (Takara did something similar for Web Diver):

I hear you people in the back mocking! Don't mock Web Diver! Do Transformers have a pirate ship who turns into a pirate dragon? A centaur unicorn who turns into a moon dune buggy? A train that turns into a robot?
Huh? Oh... yeah... I guess Transformers has trains that turn into robots.
Still... pirates! :D
Have also seem similar concepts with other lines from Japan as well, though sadly I can't remember anything more than that.
This set, if realeased in New Zealand (since its a new size class) is a definate pass for me.
For a second there, I thought the individual figures were Energon Shockwave/blast.

Found the Animated 2-pack at Kmart (Jetfire, Jetstorm) for $37. They are specially tagged as Deluxe bonus pack, so are either classed the same as the leader 2-pack, or are a separate item in the system. Either way, they aren't being classed or priced as Voyager, as I had anticipated.
It should also mean they will be at most Kmarts within the week, if not already.
Saw these in New Zealand for $40. I can't day I like either mode at all, though I do want to read the comic..
Takara did a lot more before Web Diver. :D

All from the GaoGaiGar series ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kin...aves_GaoGaiGar ), final of Takara's eight "Brave" Series ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_series ).
mine were $45 at KMart
I got mine for $37 at Kmart.
The "Safeguard" name bugs me... why couldn't they have called it "Firestorm"? (or "Autobot Firestorm"?) - "Safeguard" just feels like a random attempt to preserve a trademark rather than sitting down and thinking of a cool/appropriate name for this gestalt.
Beats calling it "Tankor" though. ;)
