The Walmart exclusive Netflix Series voyager three packs are out in Canada and your fellow news editor found them while getting some milk today. Since these are all simply redecos, I felt in hand images would be all that was needed for a review since all of these molds have already been released multiple times.

This review will be for Megatron with Battlemasters Captive Lionizer & Captive Pinpointer (yes, that is their names, Megatron has imprisoned these guys).

Firstly, as a multipack, I much preferred this one over Hotlink's simply due to wanting all these toys. Lionizer is the orange redeco we always wanted. It is a perfect G1 homage to the bot that came with action master Rad. And while Pinpointer does feels cheap, with the barrel detaching rather easily, I do like that we are getting the targetmaster that goes with Crosshairs.

Now onto Megatron, while I still don't fully get what Hasbro is going for with the spray paint effect, I do prefer him much more than the other versions of this mold. For one, they fixed something with the ankles. I can't tell for sure what it is mechanically, since it does still look the same, but there's no longer the idea of locking and unlocking his ankles. And once unlocked, they don't feel loose. It results in a more satisfying time posing him with ankle pivot.

While the paint seemed to be the biggest difference at first glance (especially due to cameras picking up that silver in an oddly lighted room), I find the change in plastic itself to be more significant to the overall look. It is leagues better than on the original, now that I have them to compare. The "black" plastic on the original had a rust/brown tinge to it but here, it is actually black. It looks especially great on his legs since it created the perfect contrasting look to that spray painted silver on the front, which gives it a G1 toy homage. This adds to the G1 homage that was already on the original toy, with those red highlights in the joint areas and sword, and of course that silver paint and darker grey plastic all add to that theme.

This makes this particular version of Megatron truly shine (ha!) as a more specific homage compared to the original version which was more of an amalgamation. Also, he fact that the inner tank treads are unpainted on this new version makes them less obvious and easier to ignore. You instead get a more Megatron-like silhouette created through the colour contrast of the two different plastic colours.

The spray paint scheme is purposefully uneven, though I don't really know why (this is the case for all these Netflix series redecos). You end up with half his helmet painted. It actually reminds me a lot of that Friends episode where Ross gets a spray tan and through some mishap only gets the spray done on one side of his body. But as you can tell from the images, it still makes for a decent look. It actually ends up emphasizing effectiveness more so creating a cell shaded effect naturally.

The only thing I actually have against this deco is that they just could not resist putting that battle damage splatter somewhere. It has been greatly reduced from the original toy, but it's all focused on his crotch. It would be nice to go one year without attention being given to Meg's crotch (for a recap: MP 36 and 36+ had octo crotch, and last year we got several shots of Beast Wars Meg's broken crotch).

On that fine note, I give you all these images, enjoy!

It's too bad they couldn't have done Lionizer's legs in gray plastic, or painted them gray. He would have been spot-on G1 perfect then. Oh well!

I knew it felt weird when writing it, but I was looking at both this and the G1 toy and it really looked more like a wolf. Was it ever confirmed what animal it was imitating?

Seeing as we have had TWO Lionizers released for WFC, I hope maybe we'll get a non-action master Rad sometime soon. In fact, I'd love to get all of the action master originals as fully fledged Transformers, as well as their partners. I'm also curious to see how they might reimagine the pretender characters to be more appealing to buyers than their last go-around. I'm thinking attachable armor to go over their inner robots. It would make them more than just a dinky Transformer hidden inside a dinkier action figure.

Kinda wish the silver was all over him but it's still a nice look and makes the figure seem more megatronish somehow. Alt mode is still lackluster but might be one of those things that can't be improved on no matter the paint scheme.

See, i like this because we got Crosshairs and then 2 potential Targetmasters for him (Trenchfoot with the Firestormers pack can work, it's what i use/Pinpointer with Neflix Megs). It would be awesome to actually get Rad, seeing as how I think he is the only bot who didn't get an upgrade yet but who's -master did

If they released Rad or any other Action Master, would you want them to transform or would you want them done right?

Mega silver paint is awesome. Kind of a shame they keep pairing desirable Target Masters with exclusives. I wouldn't mind those two.

I would not mind either way, but I think I would prefer to give Rad a vehicle mode. MTMTE gave several action masters alt mods at last, and I wouldn't mind those being used.

Ah, so that's what cary meant by "done 'right'" and refused to explain :roll:

Transform, definitely. Nontransforming is for sidelines like Revoltech, Robot Replicas, or Hero Mashers.

Both have their pros and cons, but I think I like the Netflix version better. I'll pass the OG one to my son, or if he complains too much I'll give him the Netflix one. Either way, I'm keeping the Battlemasters. >:oP

Many assumed as much, as did I, regarding the listings. But I think it could go either way. And the siege line had the 3 main seekers and the rainmakers all appearing in the siege line with two more sekers in different lines. Honestly, to me it would be more surprising for Thundercracker and Skywarp not to come out. Also, I really think Hasbro messed up on Skywarp's Siege deco and added ot the fact that its the seeker fans are looking for the most still, it feels like a no brainer to release and Earthrise version.

I think most of us feel the same way.

I ordered the entire Netflix line, but they're still saying it wont arive until April 6 for me. Even more strange is they're shipping Megatron separately from everything else. Looks like the five Deluxe, Hotlink, and Ultra Magnus will be showing up in one giant box. I thought they might break it up a bit, but I didn't expect it to be so lopsided.

I must be the opposite, I absolutely do not want to see Skywarp and Thundercracker, they have had more than enough chances, let the coneheads and maybe another few obscure conehead styled characters have their time.

Stop wasting spots in the line on the 84 seekers. There are now 35 more years to work with

I have no idea why you wouldn't want Thundercracker and Skywarp. I absolutely hate when a seeker mold isn't used by the three 84 seekers. For example, the RiD 2015 mold, which skipped Thundercracker. At least every seeker mold should use those three otherwise it's a waste. It's like making a datsun mold but not using it for Prowl, Bluestreak and Smokescreen. I really hope Smokescreen is turned into Bluestreak and Prowl too.

I don't think it's a waste for every Seeker mold to not do them, but I do think it's a waste in this case.

This succession of lines has been mainly about G1 nostalgia for nearly 14 of those years. That is its raison d'etre.
I absolutely do want to see Skywarp and Thundercracker - they need Voyager Earth Mode toys too. And IMO, SIEGE and Earthrise are the first time in all of CHUG that working all three of the '84 Seekers in isn't a waste, since the SIEGE and Earthrise molds are the first bloody time in all CHUG they've been gotten right all 'round.
The way I see it, a waste would not be giving us all the Classic Six.

I still think it'll be a version with his Diaclone colors. I'm actually very curious, even if I won't get the figure. What I would love is a black repaint of Magnus, I don't think I've seen that before. Like Nucleon Quest Convoy. Maybe with a little gray thrown in to break up the black.

If we get Actionmasters, I'd want them to transform, just because some of them were designed to. They'd definitely need to be more solid, maybe paneled to avoid transformation gaps, but giving them the option doesn't change the fact that you don't have to transform them. You can keep them in bot mode forever, but it's nice to have options

Posted by blackeyedprime on March 27th, 2020 @ 5:07am CDT

For action master redos I'd like them to be smaller in size but more and have vehicles over having transformations but legends sized figures/transformations with more posability would work too (kinda like the prime figures wheeljack and ship etc meets third party hotsoldiers ).

Aren't the Super7 releases more akin to Action Masters? Plus we do have have the Flame Toys kits (though more pricey). I can't see Hasbro mass retailing Action Masters as they were. Characters who where Action Masters only before though... Yeah I think they'll reuse them eventually, giving them alt modes.

This is my thinking as well. I'm more interested in seeing Rung funnily enough, be interesting to see what the show does with him. If he's actually in it of course and not just being shoved on with UM

I've actually hedged my bets on this. I'm always up for more cons. Oddly enough, I will wait to open up mine until I see the deco from some others first. If I'm not interested, I'll just return it. (Of course I say this now, but my lack of willpower may certainly override this sentiment once I have it in hand.)

Ultra Mangus - a traitor? The most Autobot-y Autobot of Autobots? That's a terrible idea.

But I guess it'll make for a cool figure.

Not a traitor, pretending to be Decepticon to infiltrate their ranks.

Not a traitor, pretending to be Decepticon to infiltrate their ranks.

I could live with that, but we won't really know until the show drops.

I think the spoiler is that he'll have a decepticon symbol.

Yeah, exactly. It wouldn't even be the only one in the line since Mirage is doing the same.

Anyways, I found this cool post on Facebook and wanted to share:

I had an epiphany last week... Instead of pay however much for the Phantom Strike Squadron, why not make my own. I scooped up some extra Battle Masters for cheap and did just that. About $15 later and I am beyond happy with what I have.

Oddly enough, ??? is sort of a reversed colors version of Heartburn and Heatstroke with slightly darker blue for the torso and lighter for the rest instead of the other way around.

They'd definitely need to be more solid, maybe paneled to avoid transformation gaps, but giving them the option doesn't change the fact that you don't have to transform them. You can keep them in bot mode forever, but it's nice to have options

This right here. Add the gimmick, but they don' need to if you won't want them to. Just like the Quintesson, you don't have to transform it at all, but the option is there.

Also, to each their own, but I would prefer to see Starscream and the coneheads, no TC or SW this time around. I'd rather see things like Artfire take the place of one of those guys.

I'd love to see more Action Master updates (preferably transforming), Krok from TR is still on my want list and I'm slightly mad Perceptor never got a Mainframe retool.

Late post, but thanks for the review! This deco actually looks pretty awesome. I kinda wish they had used the alternate "miner" head, it would have made this deco hard to resist.

I'm still sad we most likely won't get a miner redeco of Siege Megatron that replaces the tank gun with a drill weapon.

But would it have made sense? From my understanding, this is supposed to be Megs as a battle-hardened warlord.

Also, the listing you mention which I'll put below doesnt really mention who it was, so it could be anyone:

Voyager Seeker 2-Pack 477915

Late post sorry.

I know the two pack is not mentioned to have names one way or another, I say it's most likely to have the Coneheads because of the presence of Thrust on his own.

I don't see this line having the 3 main Seekers and the Coneheads bar some appearing in selects.

Many assumed as much, as did I, regarding the listings. But I think it could go either way. And the siege line had the 3 main seekers and the rainmakers all appearing in the siege line with two more sekers in different lines. Honestly, to me it would be more surprising for Thundercracker and Skywarp not to come out. Also, I really think Hasbro messed up on Skywarp's Siege deco and added ot the fact that its the seeker fans are looking for the most still, it feels like a no brainer to release and Earthrise version.

I think most of us feel the same way.

I must be the opposite, I absolutely do not want to see Skywarp and Thundercracker, they have had more than enough chances, let the coneheads and maybe another few obscure conehead styled characters have their time.

Stop wasting spots in the line on the 84 seekers. There are now 35 more years to work with

I believe we’re about to see Skywarp and Thundercracker in the Amazon “Earthrise mode 2 pack” this summer.
