In order of the ones I have:
Alpha Trion
...

Astrotrain
Megatron
Galvatron
Galvatron is the weakest by a significant mile, and the voyager I've played with the least.
TR Megatron is sort of close but the fact that it took a full 2 hours to get the legs to work for alt modes and then another 2 weeks to get it to do consistently was a headache. and his modes feel very weak to me.
Astrotrain is pretty good, but the train mode feels real weak.
Alpha Trion has a pretty cool ship mode, but the lion mode is the best alt mode of any voyager figure so far that I own, and the paintwork is marvelous, as in puts all other voyagers to complete shame. And there are no shoddy stickers or large areas of gray to upset the balance.

the grayness of the plastic..
as soon i get it im painting it silver.
Amen to both. The stickers are pathetic and the gray is... no. Combiner Wars Megs nailed the paint job and the colors. TR desperately needed the CW Megs colors and paint

The pylons are really it or miss on some of these. They're kinda pointless on Sentinel, but they work for Astrotrain since he had them in the cartoon. They look good on Alpha Trion (and Leo Prime) since it works as a headdress. Prime's are necessary since they're his ears, but they're pointless and kinda awful on Octone. Can take or leave Broadside's since they're I guess weapons, they're just kinda there. Blitzwing's I'm undecided on, he had them in the cartoon, but probably looks better without them.
It's nice that they're optional anyway. Then there's Galvatron...

With regards to the pylons and head pieces for voyagers, only Alpha Trion has really nailed it. I don't like the Galva-helmet, Astrotrain doesn't use his pylons, and neither does Megs. They don't look good.
Kurona wrote:Was Classics Astrotrain not good?
But yeah nah, I didn't own T30 Blitzwing but everywhere I went said it was a QC-ridden mess. And the alt-modes really don't do it any favours. I think the TR mold I have now is a straight improvement.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh, gotta disagree.
See earlier comments in this post. I don't like that TR tank/jet mold, and I actually like T30 Blitz. The shoulders are a bit of a flop, but they are almost on par with the TR legs, and Blitz pulls off better modes in my opinion.

-Sixshot, to go with Galvatron, Wolfwolf Weirdwolf, Skullcruncher, and Mindwipe
-Misfire and Slugslinger, to go with Triggerhappy
-Topspin and Twintwist
-Kup and Perceptor
-Broadside
-Legends Brawn
Hoping to get all the deluxes beyond wave three, but money is an issue.
Yays, nays?
Unless you really really really want a Sixshot just cause, avoid him. Place him lower on the priorities. the mold is a disappointment, easily the weakest leader I've ever handled, and I have many.

Rewind by far. Easily the legends class figure I've had the most fun with since Swerve, and he is a perfect little triple changer. Loads of fun. Gnaw is cute in sharkticon mode, but robot mode is mostly junk. Laserbeak and Ravage are sort of forgettable. Wheelie is pretty cool, but Rewind beats him up cause Rewind actually holds together in alt mode.

Main reason why I am excited for them. I am finally getting my Wreckers dream team, and they are killing it. Wave 4 has 3 wreckers alone (4 if you count Perceptor, but he is headed for the Lost Light shelf). Really Hasbro, why can't we get a non-crap non-FoC Impactor to go with the team?
