    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!

    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..

    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.
