We are so glad to see these official promotional material, and it comes just after the Official War For Cybertron: Siege transformation videos we reported earlier. This is the right way for Hasbro to get closer to the fans and collectors.

I look at it this way. When push comes to shove which do I want more… that money or the figure? Easy math for me.

Ugh SAME. I feel slightly ashamed but in reality I’m just happy to have the figure.

I caved and bought Long Haul and he arrived very quickly! I regret nothing but yes, I have a sickness. In fact I'm sorry to admit but if the same US based seller had Hightower I would have bought him too. Hey, not much cheaper than a third party figure and now I don't have to wait!

Second this. There is no way to make the legs on the ROTF voyager look good without a total replacement. I was always horrified with how the kibble was positioned over the shoulders. I only ever got the ROTF one 'cuz I loved the individual Constructions and the voyager eas thw only real option.
The SS voyager is fantastic. Glad I got it. To hell with patience I'm just gonna ebay all of them early if possible and get my Devastator as soon as humanely possible!

As someone who actually has owned both I can say that the new one is better in almost every way. The original wins in truck mode but it’s also not accurate. There are no faux grills on the alt mode sides that’s just part of the thigh design. Anyways you can rotate the thighs in alt mode to have them pointing more down if it bothers you that much.

I'll wait until the official release then. Thanks!

In case you are interested. There's a store on eBay that has them already. The problem is the price is very high and the shipping is not much better. But people are buying them.

August at the earliest the same thing happened to Scrapmetal it took awhile before pre orders started popping up.
I've seen July 31st to mid August

When is Long Haul supposed to be released? I don't see his listing on TFS.

Wish the Long Haul and Hightower are bigger and better

personally i think that Mixmaster WON'T include the head, or at least not all of it. Rather mixmaster will have like, say, the lower jaw, built into his arms or something hidden on the inside of the shields. Where the upper head will be a piece that is part of Scavenger and when combined, the two halves will come together in some way. It would be easier to hide the head among multiple figures this way rather than greatly compromise a single figure (mixmaster) by having him deal with the entire thing. (
The whole head seems to be the size of an entire voyager and most of mixmaster visible parts seem to be mostly the neck. he cant be both. If the face is movie accurate red? its easier to hide as part of scavenger and overload and have it swing around on an arm or something and come out in front of the neck that mixmaster forms.

I love that Drift. For some reason he looks like an army builder to me, even though I know it's just 1 character.
What makes your brain say "army builder" with certain toys?

I\'m actually really digging Longhaul. He looks good.
NotMarluxiaXI
I want them now. All of them
IgnikaMarcus
Who is that in your mouth?
Will definitely be getting Drift, Hightower and Long Haul.
I will complete Devastator!!!!!

I appreciate entirely that there's a combiner gimmick to work with but Long Haul looks a bit naff. I hate that there's faux front grill hanging off the side of the alt mode.
That said I remain of the belief that the original figure is one of the best ROTF Voyagers so perhaps I'm blinkered.

Fun note: Overload's quadrupedal design is the one design I feel like they should have pushed through anyways.
Also, I think next year the leaders will be Scavenger/Overload/Demolisher because an exclusive Leader-class fig is rare. Same with an exclusive yellow Rampage.
Though, I do wonder how they'll package the mining excavator due to the weird shape

I like Long Haul. The way it looks.
Dillpickle
I’m just concerned that he’s gonna have a massive face on his butt.
