Breakaway is the best actual toy, Rampage the most ambitious idea.

The official waves for the voyagers, according to their shipping cases, are:
Wave 1: Prime, Starscream Ironhide, Demolishor
Wave 2: Ratchet, the Fallen
Wave 3: Megatron, Mixmaster

And then there's Stratosphere, who's showing up in the mix too....

---Dave

Might be a 2.5 or something. I'm just going by cases I've seen and opened in person.

I strongly suspect that at some point they hit a point where someone said, "Just put whatever you have in boxes and get it in the container, there's room for one more on the boat and I want it to be ours!"

---Dave

Sideswipe isn't THAT bad.

He seems actually a little MORE stable if you rotate the front end pieces backward.

Having no mode that's stable for standing is Fail in my book. It's okay to have a third mode like the BMac Thrust and Jetstorm. But there's no really good way to keep Sideswipe stable, like there is with Sideways. If you want a wheelfoot for aesthetics, fine...but provide some sort of struts so it can stand up on its own.

---Dave

Eh, whatever. At least he doesn't look as drastically unpainted as Sideways, with his GIANT UNPAINTED RED TORSO.

I agree on the Sideswipe comments. Generally, I would consider feet stability a minimum bar to being a half-decent figure, but the rest of his sheer awesomeness somehow manages to overcome that.

Guess I can scratch Rampage off my "to get" list.
