Some of us have found some animated toys in the last few days; I was just wondering what you guys think of them; some reviews would be nice. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) So far I've only opened deluxe prime, and he's a solid toy. I like the alt mode other than that you can see his arms from the back. The bot mode is pretty good, and he has great articulation (I like putting my toys in kicking poses [must be a chun li thing ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ], and he can stand on one foot easily). I really like the classic prime colors as well, and he has a war within vibe as well (wheels at the shoulders, shoulders are bulky). Overall I'd say he's a worthwhile edition to my tf collection.

I am liking these. I will have to find some time to get some pics. My only complaint is Ratched can only store his accessories as a robot...

I am loving these. I really didn't want to, but I really do like them. I am opening Lugnut and Grimmy tonight.
Oh, somethign cool, they show the wave 2 deluxes on the bottom of the Voyager boxes and they show Jazz, Oil Slick, Soundwave and Snarl. Really looking forward to those!

I have to eventually get Lockdown. I am understanding with a little help the EMP blaster fits on Ratchet!

Opened prowl today; he looks great in both modes, and the transformation is unique. His weapon storage is a nice touch as well.
My only real problem is that his legs pop off really easily.

There are some fixes for defects listed at Seibertron.com.
Bulkhead is shorter then the deluxes. Whats with that? Yea he is wide, but come on. Show us some scale here. Guess this is why we are getting a leader class version.

I was wondering what you thought of bulkhead, gunman. I think I'll pass on him and just get the leader version, though I do like that the voyager version has the ball and chain, and is more show accurate, other than size of course.

Going off some pics I have seen. Lugnuts is the same way. Shorter then the rest but bulkier. I hope this isn't a Voyager trend. Guess Grimlock and Starscream are the only hope for a larger figure until the leaders hit shelves.

I have Grimlock
He has short legs which reminds me of an ape because his arms are longer
To me his legs should be about an inch bigger.Deluxe Lockdown is taller then Grimlock and in pics I have seen of Starscream he is taller then Starscream also
I knew Voyager Bulkhead was short and won't get it
I'm waiting on the Leader class version
So far when I have transformed Prowl,Bumblebee and Lockdown an arm or leg seems to pop off..
Has anybody seen voyager Prime yet?

Well I managed to break a hand on Lockdown... I am going to return it. As for the EMP blaster. I gota do some work on ratchets wound to make it work right. Hasbro dropped the ball. The button to flip the blasters sticks out, and ratchet has a pin there... So it can't go in flush. Otherweise it was a good buy.

I haven't compared Starscream and Lockdown yet, but will try to do that tomorrow. i want to see if Lockdown is taller...
Although I am going to get Bulkhead as a Leader Class figure, I am not really crazy about it, as from the looks of it, it is not the same green he is in the Voyager version. If he turns out to be that Kermit green, that will really be disappointing.

All the reports of quality control and fans moding them to make them "right" are starting to worry me; hopefully they'll be corrected, or future waves of figures will be better made.
Gunman, did you push lockdown's hand too far? It's supposed to be crooked at the wrist, not straight, for some reason.
About lugnut: he's really short too; blitzwing towers over him. I was hoping for a leader lugnut, but I doubt it'll happen. Guess I'll have to settle for the voyager.
Voyager prime is in wave 2, "revision 2", according to bbts, and is still on preorder there.

Yeah if you look at the back of the card you will notice his hand is crooked
I tried to straiten it until I looked at the pic
Voyager Prime might not be out till sometime late next month then

I found this autobot group shot at the allspark; looks like leader bulkhead's green is a little lighter than the voyager version's, but not too light imo, and voyager bulkhead is even shorter than I originally thought. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/destro_prime/aniautobots.jpg)

Does the dvd that comes w/ the battle begins two-pack have the first episode, or the three-part miniseries? I've seen the dvd by itself for $12, but if the two-pack's dvd is the same one, I'll just get the two-pack.
I heard that target's version of the battle begins dvd (released today..er, yesterday now) will have some bonus features. Anyone know what they are?
EDIT: Okay, from what I've found on other tf sites, the target version also has the first ep of the season, "Home is where the Spark Is"..so, since I'll be getting the season 1 set when I can..pass on that.
Also, and correct me if I'm wrong those of you w/ the 2-pack, the 2-pack dvd only has the first ep.

The 2 pack only has the first episode. There are also some figure previews on it.

At fist, I thought I woudnt like this line, but once I spotted an Animated Grimlock on amazon at a retail price, I ordered him right away and now, Im in love with this line. Ordered Voyager Prime, the deluxe guys and Starscream and V. Bulkhead. Since space is an issue to me, I will settle with the voyager one, the only leader one Im getting will be Megatron.
